A Chatbot as a Novel Corpus Visualization Tool
Bayan Abu Shawar, Eric Atwell · 2004
The classical way of viewing data set is using the visualization process, which maps the data from numerical or textual form to a visual representation that our mind can easily interpret such as: using graphical diagrams, charts, and geometric representation.In this paper we introduce a new idea to visualize a dialogue corpus using a chatbot interface tool.We developed a java program to convert a readable text (corpus) to AIML language to retrain ALICE.We use specific domains of the BNC spoken files to retrain ALICE, and visualise the data contents of these domains via chatting.Even that visualizing the corpus using a chatbot based on the chatting time and the size of the corpus, certain domains could be scanned easily if they are part of the current corpus or not.Our main conclusion is that it is possible to use the chatbot tool as a visualization process of a dialogue corpus, and to model different chatbot personalities.
