I am looking for any semantic and syntactic processing programs
or datafiles. Such things as irregular verb lists, rhyming
dictionaries, thesauruses, and the like are all of interest to
me. Basically I would like anything pertaining to the manipulation
AND/OR simulation and generation of English grammar and
conversation.
Of particular interest to me are the following source codes
(original or remake):
Ractor
Eliza
I have found a few interesting things on uunet.uu.net. There is a
travesty generator there. JIVE is simple but nice. There is a
program for generating puns that I liked very much. There were a
few other programs, but I could not find anything very elaborate,
and I could not find Eliza or Ractor. Also, I couldn't find any
interesting raw data files, except for those used in the
previously mentioned programs.
If there is a place they can be FTP'd from then please Email me
the addresses. I will post a summary of good FTP sites for these
programs. Or if you have the source yourself then Email me and we
can arrange to have it transferred here. I will then post a
description of any programs I receive and anyone who wants the
programs can have me Email the programs to them...
Thanks,
Noah Spurrier
