Zusammenfassung
Coming to open domain dialog it is still unrealistic to implement needed knowledge
resources and dialog skills linguistically. Since the Non Player Characters
(NPC) in our NPC Engine should be capable of open conversation we decided
to use an Artificial Intelligence Markup Language (AIML) chatbot as a first
workaround. However AIML chatbots are not linguistically motivated, they use
surface structures in tradition of Weizenbaums ELIZA, wherefore they do
have too many shortcomings to use them in real dialog applications. A possibility to abstract from the surface level and still be able to
control the structure is to use information from syntactic and semantic analysis.
In the presented system two scenarios were implemented: 1. Using part of speech
information and 2. Using the results from a semantic analysis.
