#Features
Graphical Interface
The chat-bot uses a beautiful and easy on the eyes graphical interface made with JavaFX for the user to interact with. As well as a dynamic alien to give visual feedback!
Sentiment Analysis
Utilizing Stanford CoreNLP APIs, this chat-bot reads from a set of pre-programmed conversational phrases and gets an evaluation of attitude from a scale of 0-4. In this case, the alien class is given a mood every response which triggers a corresponding image in the GUI for a more visceral experience.
POSTagging
RiTa library allows part-of-speech (POS) tagging for grammatical accuracy in the response given by the Alien. This implementation focused on sentence tense.
Stemmer
The word-stemmer is used in this project to more easily implement pattern matching from a very wide range of possible sentence structures. i.e. The alien can pick out keywords easily to give better responses than a null entry.
