On novel chatterbot system by means of web information

Recently, the use of various chatterbots has been proposed to simulate conversation with human users. Several chatterbots can talk with users very well without a high-level contextual understanding. However, it may be difficult for chatterbots to reply to specific and interesting sentences because chatterbots lack intelligence. To solve this problem, we propose a novel chatterbot that can directly use Web information. We carried out computational experiments by applying the proposed chatterbot to “2channel” (2ch) and “Twitter”.
