	About the Dialog Engine Project
		The Dialog Engine project is a joint venture between the Entertainment Technology Center at Carnegie-Mellon University, San Diego-based game developer Angel Studios and artist/sculptor/musician and writer Frank Garvey. The goal of the project is to create a software tool which allows authors (not programmers) to take written character dialog and transform it into interactive character conversation. To accomplish this goal in the 14 week duration of the project, we will be leveraging tools and technologies that already exist in the fields of computational linguistics and natural language processing. Future additions to the engine would include character training and advanced text-generation capabilities. Ultimately, the goal of the project is to create convincing, engrossing and identifiable characters with whom guests will wish to have multiple conversations.
