FAQ
Q: What is Glot-Bot?
A: Glot-Bot is a perl script which uses genetic algorithms to create English
vocabulary. The final product instills the effect that the software
emulates a primitive form of artificial creativity. The software
essentially creates words on its own. Because of the many CPU cycles
required to parse through the
chromosomes, created by Glot-Bot, for genuine English vocabulary, that function
will not be provided online.
Q: Have any papers been published on Glot-Bot?
A: Yes, please reference:
Kunken, Joshua M. The Application of Genetic Algorithms in English
Vocabulary Generation.
Proceedings of the Twelfth Midwest Artificial Intelligence and Cognitive
Science Conference 2001.
Miami University Press 2001
The public is
free to publish papers
on Glot-Bot's behavior, as long as a reference is provided, of course.
