Abstract
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”.
