Chatbot::Eliza 1.04
This module implements the classic Eliza
algorithm. The original Eliza program was
written by Joseph Weizenbaum and described in
the Communications of the ACM in 1966. Eliza
is a mock Rogerian psychotherapist. It
prompts for user input, and uses a simple
transformation algorithm to change user input
into a follow-up question. The program is
designed to give the appearance of
understanding.
This program is a faithful implementation of
the program described by Weizenbaum. It uses
a simplified script language (devised by
Charles Hayden). The content of the script is
the same as Weizenbaum's.
This module encapsulates the Eliza algorithm
in the form of an object. This should make
the functionality easy to incorporate in
larger programs.
