Human-Computer Conversation
Yorick Alexander Wilks, Roberta Catizone · arXiv (Cornell University) · 1999
The article surveys a little of the history of the technology, sets out the main current theoretical approaches in brief, and discusses the on-going opposition between theoretical and empirical approaches. It illustrates the situation with some discussion of CONVERSE, a system that won the Loebner prize in 1997 and which displays features of both approaches.
