nice. a.l.i.c.e won the loebner prize for the second year in a row:
“In another unusual aspect of the contest, Hugh Loebner himself served as one of the judges. The programs and confederates were ranked on a scale of 0-25. Each judge could assign five points to each person or robot. One judge, in fact, ranked A.L.I.C.E. higher than one of the humans.”
there’s lots to like with a.l.i.c.e, including aiml and its utility in voice and chat interfaces.
