Albert One

In both 1998 and 1999, Albert One won the Loebner Prize Contest, a competition between chatterbots.Søren Gjellerup Christiansen [http://www.daimi.au.dk/~gjelle/thesis/cdrom/index.html "Techniques applied to pass the Turing Test"] {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070914091424/http://www.daimi.au.dk/~gjelle/thesis/cdrom/index.html |date=2007-09-14 }} Master's Thesis{{cite news | title = Albert is top talking computer | work = BBC News | publisher = BBC | date = 1999-01-28 | url = http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/low/sci/tech/264663.stm | accessdate = 2008-04-05 | archive-date = 24 July 2004 | archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20040724022109/http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/low/sci/tech/264663.stm | url-status = live }}{{cite news | title = Computers get chattier | work = BBC News | publisher = BBC | date = 1999-03-18 | url = http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/low/sci/tech/290417.stm | accessdate = 2008-04-05 | archive-date = 14 July 2023 | archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20230714035858/http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/science/nature/290417.stm | url-status = live }}{{cite web | title = No contest | work = New Scientist | publisher = Reed Business Information Ltd | date = 1999-01-30 | url = https://www.newscientist.com/article/mg16121711.500-no-contest.html | accessdate =2008-04-05 | archiveurl= https://web.archive.org/web/20080417044516/http://www.newscientist.com/article/mg16121711.500-no-contest.html| archivedate= 17 April 2008 | url-status= live}}

Some parts of Albert were deployed on the internet beginning in 1995, to gather information about what kinds of things people would say to a chatterbot.L. Caputo, R. Garner, P. Nathan. [http://portal.acm.org/citation.cfm?id=304915 "FRED, Milton and Barry: the evolution of intelligent agents for the Web"], Advances in intelligent systems, 1997.

Albert was the first of Robby Garner's multifaceted bots.R. Garner [http://www.robitron.com/Robby/Multifaceted.ppt "Multifaceted Conversational Systems"] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150402162433/http://www.robitron.com/Robby/Multifaceted.ppt |date=2 April 2015 }}, Colloquium on Conversational Systems, University of Surrey, 2005. Robitron.com The Albert One system was composed of several subsystems. Among those were a version of Eliza, the therapist, Elivs, another Eliza-like bot, and several other helper applications working together in a hierarchical arrangement. As a continuation of the stimulus-response library, various other database queries and assertions were tested to arrive at each of Albert's responses. Robby went on to develop networked examples of this kind of hierarchical "glue" at The Turing Hub.
