Abstract: ELIZA is a program operating within the MAC time-sharing system of MIT which makes certain kinds of natural language conversation between man and computer possible. Input sentences are analyzed on the basis of decomposition rules which are triggered by key words appearing in the input text. Responses are generated by reassembly rules associated with selected decomposition rules. The fundamental technical problems with which ELIZA is concerned are: (1) the identification of key words, (2) the discovery of minimal context, (3) the choice of appropriate transformations, (4) generation of responses in the absence of key words, and (5) the provision of an editing capability for ELIZA “scripts”. A discussion of some psychological issues relevant to the ELIZA approach as well as of future developments concludes the paper.

Computers and the nature of man: a historian's perspective on controversies about artificial intelligence
TL;DR: The real controversy about artificial intelligence (AI) is not about the nature of computers and programs; it is about the human nature of man, as pointed out in this article, where the authors provide a historical perspective on recent controversies, from Turing's time on, about Artificial Intelligence, and make clear that these are in fact controversies about man's nature.
Utilizing Human-to-Human Conversation Examples for a Multi Domain Chat-Oriented Dialog System
TL;DR: The design and evaluation of a method for developing a chat-oriented dialog system by utilizing real human-to-human conversation examples from movie scripts and Twitter conversations is described, and experimental results show that the proposed filtering approach effectively improve the performance.

Dialogue design implications of task allocation between man and computer
TL;DR: One of man's essential roles in the operation of man-computer systems is to cope adaptively with the openness in the system and that one of the problems of current systems is that they infer a closed model of the task that may inhibit the user in his efforts to provide an adaptive contribution.

Shall We Talk? Conversing With Humans and Robots
TL;DR: For reasons people may not wish for total verisimilitude when interacting linguistically with robots, Informational and empathetic functions are likely to be more welcomed than those involving social control or critique.

Computer Simulation of Individual Belief Systems1
TL;DR: In this article, the authors use the technique of simulated belief systems to simulate the psychological world of a single individual and the processes by which the system maintains itself against the intrusion of new and potentially upsetting information.
