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.
