Fairytale Child is a simple chatbot trying to simulate a curious child. It asks the user to tell a fairy tale, often interrupting to ask for details and clarifications. However, it remembers what it was told and tries to show it if possible.
The chatbot can communicate in Czech and in English. It analyzes the morphology of each sentence produced by the user with natural language processing tools, tries to identify potential questions to ask, and then asks one. A morphological generator is employed to generate correctly inflected sentences in Czech, so that the resulting sentences sound as natural as possible.
Pohádkové dítě je jednoduchý chatbot, simulující zvídavé dítě. Požádá uživatele, aby mu vyprávěl pohádku, ale často ho přerušuje, aby se zeptal na detaily a vysvětlení. Pamatuje si ale, co mu uživatel řekl, a snaží se to pokud možno dát najevo.
Chatbot umí komunikovat česky a anglicky. Analyzuje tvarosloví každé uživatelovy věty pomocí NLP nástrojů, pokusí se nalézt chodnou otázku, a tu pak položí. Aby tvořené české věty zněly co nejpřirozeněji, využívá se pro skloňování tvaroslovný generátor. and The work has been supported by GAUK 1572314 and SVV 260104.
It has been using language resources developed, stored and distributed by the LINDAT/CLARIN project of the Ministry of Education, Youth and Sports of the Czech Republic (project LM2010013).

MSTperl is a Perl reimplementation of the MST parser of Ryan McDonald (http://www.seas.upenn.edu/~strctlrn/MSTParser/MSTParser.html).
MST parser (Maximum Spanning Tree parser) is a state-of-the-art natural language dependency parser -- a tool that takes a sentence and returns its dependency tree.
In MSTperl, only some functionality was implemented; the limitations include the following:
the parser is a non-projective one, curently with no possibility of enforcing the requirement of projectivity of the parse trees;
only first-order features are supported, i.e. no second-order or third-order features are possible;
the implementation of MIRA is that of a single-best MIRA, with a closed-form update instead of using quadratic programming.
On the other hand, the parser supports several advanced features:
parallel features, i.e. enriching the parser input with word-aligned sentence in other language;
adding large-scale information, i.e. the feature set enriched with features corresponding to pointwise mutual information of word pairs in a large corpus (CzEng);
weighted/unweighted parser model interpolation;
combination of several instances of the MSTperl parser (through MST algorithm);
combination of several existing parses from any parsers (through MST algorithm).
The MSTperl parser is tuned for parsing Czech. Trained models are available for Czech, English and German. We can train the parser for other languages on demand, or you can train it yourself -- the guidelines are part of the documentation.
The parser, together with detailed documentation, is avalable on CPAN (http://search.cpan.org/~rur/Treex-Parser-MSTperl/). and The research has been supported by the EU Seventh Framework Programme under grant agreement 247762 (Faust), and by the grants GAUK116310 and GA201/09/H057.
