We are using the LinkGrammar
parser from Carnegie-Mellon University.
This parser offers a very robust English language parsing
ability in combination with an accessible rule structure and
API for development. We are also using the WordNet hyper-thesaurus and lexical database. This system has very advanced word mapping and thesaurus-like functions and has been used in many other computational linguistics efforts. In addition, we are using the Lingual set of Perl scripts for verb tenses and noun inflection and for some text analysis tasks. Integration of these disparate parts and the implementation of the topic matching system, text-analysis system and the design of the underlying architecture will culminate in the production of a content-creation tool and test-bed for interactive characters. |

| Dialog Engine System Diagram | |||
|
In the first half of the project we determined the different pieces that would
be necessary to accomplish our goals for the end of the 14 weeks. The outcome
of that process was a system diagram that shows the
different parts of the Dialog Engine and how they interconnect. |

For those interested in the technical implementation side
of the system, this is a diagram of the class structure
we are using to provide an expandable and easily changeable architecture:
