Has anybody ever heard of an Eliza for the Amiga. One of the lecturers here would like to experiment with it, and perhaps do some research. Might even be able to sell him on a 3000 if it does exist. Thanks in advance. -- ============================================================================== | Hamish Marson | Internet hamish@waikato.ac.nz | | Computer Support Person | Phone (071)562889 xt 8181 | | Computer Science Department | Amiga 3000 for ME! | | University of Waikato | | ============================================================================== |Disclaimer: Anything said in this message is the personal opinion of the | | finger hitting the keyboard & doesn't represent my employers | | opinion in any way.

There are several ``Eliza'' for the Amiga. Fred Fish Disk #13 has the
Eliza.abc and Eliza.bas programs.
And an assembly language version (available on Amiga BBS systems) has:
----ar-e- 88-07-07 02:53:58 21 10680 Eliza
----ar-e- 88-07-07 02:52:26 90 45248 Eliza.asm
----ar-e- 88-07-07 03:22:46 13 6287 Eliza.doc

Extracts from the Eliza.doc file:
* AUTHOR'S NOTES
* --------------
...
* ELIZA is an Artificial Intelligence simulation developed by
* Joseph Weizenbaum of MIT in 1965. Eliza was named after Eliza
* Doolittle in George Bernard Shaw's play Pygmalion, which was
* subsequently used as the basis for the musical, My Fair Lady.
*
* Shaw's Eliza was a flower girl who was taught by phonologist
* Henry Higgins to talk "like a lady". Weizenbaum's Eliza does a
* remarkable job of carrying on a conversation that at times seems
* intelligent.
...
* To the best of my knowledge, this is still the only hand
* assembled version of Eliza for any personal computer.
*
* ELIZA has always been one of my favorite programs and this
* has essentially been an ongoing labor of love. Enjoy!

Unfortunately I do not know who wrote it or who distributes it. You may be able to get source code from a number of Universities, try the cognitive sci or artificial intelligence depts.
