In this tutorial, we’ll discuss the basic tags of AIML.<\/p>\n
Following AIML files have been used here as reference.<\/p>\n
\r\n<?xml version = "1.0" encoding = "UTF-8"?>\r\n<aiml version = "1.0.1" encoding = "UTF-8"?>\r\n <category>\r\n <pattern> HELLO ALICE <\/pattern>\r\n \r\n <template>\r\n Hello User\r\n <\/template>\r\n \r\n <\/category>\r\n<\/aiml>\r\n<\/pre>\n<aiml> tag<\/h2>\n
<aiml> tag marks the start and end of a AIML document. It contains version and encoding information under version and encoding attributes. version attribute stores the AIML version used by ALICE chatterbot Knowledge Base, KB. For example, we’ve used 1.0.1 version. This attribute is optional.<\/p>\n
Encoding attributes provide the character sets to be used in the document. For example, we’ve used UTF-8. As a mandatory requirement, <aiml> tag must contain at least one <category> tag. We can create multiple AIML files where each AIML file contains a single <aiml> tag. The purpose of each AIML file is to add at least a single knowledge unit called category to ALICE chatterbot KB.<\/p>\n
\r\n<aiml version = "1.0.1" encoding = "UTF-8"?>\r\n ...\r\n<\/aiml>\r\n<\/pre>\n<category> tag<\/h2>\n
<category> tag is the fundamental knowledge unit of an ALICE Bot. Each category contains \u2212<\/p>\n
A <category> tag must have <pattern> and <template> tag. <pattern> represents the user input and template represents the bot’s response.<\/p>\n
\r\n<category>\r\n <pattern> HELLO ALICE <\/pattern>\r\n \r\n <template>\r\n Hello User\r\n <\/template>\r\n \r\n<\/category>\r\n<\/pre>\nHere, if the user enters Hello Alice then bot will respond back as Hello User.<\/p>\n
<pattern> tag<\/h2>\n
The <pattern> tag represents a user’s input. It should be the first tag within the <category> tag. <pattern> tag can contain wild card to match more than one sentence as user input. For example, in our example, <pattern> contains HELLO ALICE.<\/p>\n
AIML is case-insensitive. If a user enters Hello Alice, hello alice, HELLO ALICE etc., all inputs are valid and bot will match them against HELLO ALICE.<\/p>\n
\r\n<category>\r\n <pattern> HELLO ALICE <\/pattern>\r\n \r\n <template>\r\n Hello User\r\n <\/template>\r\n \r\n<\/category>\r\n<\/pre>\nHere, the template is “Hello User” and represents a robot’s response to user input.<\/p>\n
<template> tag<\/h2>\n
<template> tag represents the bot’s response to the user. It should be the second tag within the <category> tag. This <template> tag can save data, call another program, give conditional answers or delegate to other categories.<\/p>\n
\r\n<category>\r\n <pattern> HELLO ALICE <\/pattern>\r\n \r\n <template>\r\n Hello User\r\n <\/template>\r\n \r\n<\/category>\r\n<\/pre>\nHere, the template is “Hello User” and represents a robot’s response to the user input.<\/p>\n
AIML – <star> Tag<\/h1>\n
<star> Tag is used to match wild card * character(s) in <pattern> Tag.<\/p>\n
Syntax<\/h3>\n
\r\n<star index = "n"\/>\r\n<\/pre>\nn<\/strong> signifies the position of * within the user input in <pattern> Tag.<\/p>\n
Consider the following example \u2212<\/p>\n
\r\n<category>\r\n <pattern> A * is a *. <\/pattern>\r\n \r\n <template>\r\n When a <star index = "1"\/> is not a <star index = "2"\/>?\r\n <\/template>\r\n \r\n<\/category>\r\n<\/pre>\nIf the user enters “A mango is a fruit.” then bot will respond as “When a mango is not a fruit?”<\/p>\n
Example<\/h3>\n
Create star.aiml inside C > ab > bots > test > aiml and star.aiml.csv inside C > ab > bots > test > aimlif directories.<\/p>\n
star.aiml<\/h3>\n
\r\n<?xml version = "1.0" encoding = "UTF-8"?>\r\n<aiml version = "1.0.1" encoding = "UTF-8"?>\r\n \r\n <category>\r\n <pattern>I LIKE *<\/pattern>\r\n <template>\r\n I too like <star\/>.\r\n <\/template>\r\n <\/category>\r\n \r\n <category>\r\n <pattern>A * IS A *<\/pattern>\r\n <template>\r\n How <star index = "1"\/> can not be a <star index = "2"\/>?\r\n <\/template>\r\n <\/category>\r\n \r\n<\/aiml>\r\n<\/pre>\nstar.aiml.csv<\/h3>\n
\r\n0,I LIKE *,*,*,I too like <star\/>.,star.aiml\r\n0,A * IS A *,*,*,How <star index = "1"\/> can not be a <star index = "2"\/>?,star.aiml\r\n<\/pre>\nExecute the Program<\/h3>\n
Open the command prompt. Go to C > ab > and type the following command \u2212<\/p>\n
\r\njava -cp lib\/Ab.jar Main bot = test action = chat trace = false\r\n<\/pre>\nVerify the Result<\/h3>\n
You will see the following output \u2212<\/p>\n
\r\nHuman: I like mango\r\nRobot: I too like mango.\r\nHuman: A mango is a fruit\r\nRobot: How mango can not be a fruit? \r\n<\/pre>\n<star index = “1”\/> is often used as <star \/><\/p>\n
AIML – <srai> Tag<\/h1>\n
<srai> Tag is a multipurpose tag. This tag enables AIML to define the different targets for the same template.<\/p>\n
Syntax<\/h3>\n
\r\n<srai> pattern <\/srai>\u00a0\r\n<\/pre>\nFollowing are the commonly used terms associated with srai \u2212<\/p>\n
\n
- Symbolic Reduction<\/li>\n
- Divide and Conquer<\/li>\n
- Synonyms resolution<\/li>\n
- Keywords detection<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
Symbolic Reduction<\/h2>\n
The symbolic reduction technique is used to simplify patterns. It helps to reduce complex grammatical patterns with simple pattern(s).<\/p>\n
For example, consider the following conversation.<\/p>\n
\r\nHuman: Who was Albert Einstein?\r\nRobot: Albert Einstein was a German physicist.\r\nHuman: Who was Isaac Newton?\r\nRobot: Isaac Newton was a English physicist and mathematician.\r\n<\/pre>\nNow What if questions are raised as<\/p>\n
\r\nHuman: DO YOU KNOW WHO Albert Einstein IS?\r\nHuman: DO YOU KNOW WHO Isaac Newton IS?\r\n<\/pre>\nHere, <srai> tag works. It can take the pattern of the user as a template.<\/p>\n
Step 1: Create categories<\/p>\n
\r\n<category>\r\n <pattern>WHO IS ALBERT EINSTEIN?<\/pattern>\r\n <template>Albert Einstein was a German physicist.<\/template>\r\n<\/category>\r\n\r\n<category>\r\n <pattern> WHO IS Isaac NEWTON? <\/pattern>\r\n <template>Isaac Newton was a English physicist and mathematician.<\/template>\r\n<\/category>\r\n<\/pre>\nStep 2: Create generic category using <srai> tag<\/p>\n
\r\n<category>\r\n <pattern>DO YOU KNOW WHO * IS?<\/pattern>\r\n \r\n <template>\r\n <srai>WHO IS <star\/><\/srai>\r\n <\/template>\r\n \r\n<\/category>\r\n<\/pre>\nExample<\/h3>\n
Create srai.aiml inside C > ab > bots > test > aiml and srai.aiml.csv inside C > ab > bots > test > aimlif directories.<\/p>\n
srai.aiml<\/h3>\n
\r\n<?xml version = "1.0" encoding = "UTF-8"?>\r\n<aiml version = "1.0.1" encoding = "UTF-8"?>\r\n <category>\r\n <pattern> WHO IS ALBERT EINSTEIN <\/pattern>\r\n <template>Albert Einstein was a German physicist.<\/template>\r\n <\/category>\r\n \r\n <category>\r\n <pattern> WHO IS Isaac NEWTON <\/pattern>\r\n <template>Isaac Newton was a English physicist and mathematician.<\/template>\r\n <\/category>\r\n \r\n <category>\r\n <pattern>DO YOU KNOW WHO * IS<\/pattern>\r\n <template>\r\n <srai>WHO IS <star\/><\/srai>\r\n <\/template>\r\n <\/category>\r\n<\/aiml>\r\n<\/pre>\nstar.aiml.csv<\/h3>\n
\r\n0,WHO IS ALBERT EINSTEIN,*,*,Albert Einstein was a German physicist.,srai.aiml\r\n0,WHO IS Isaac NEWTON,*,*,Isaac Newton was a English physicist and mathematician.,srai.aiml\r\n0,DO YOU KNOW WHO * IS,*,*,<srai>WHO IS <star\/><\/srai>,srai.aiml\r\n<\/pre>\nExecute the Program<\/h3>\n
Open the command prompt. Go to C > ab > and type the following command \u2212<\/p>\n
\r\njava -cp lib\/Ab.jar Main bot = test action = chat trace = false\r\n<\/pre>\nVerify the Result<\/h3>\n
You will see the following output \u2212<\/p>\n
\r\nHuman: Do you know who Albert Einstein is\r\nRobot: Albert Einstein was a German physicist.\r\n<\/pre>\nDivide and Conquer<\/h2>\n
Divide and Conquer is used to reuse sub sentences in making a complete reply. It helps to reduce defining multiple categories.<\/p>\n
For example, consider following conversation.<\/p>\n
\r\nHuman: Bye\r\nRobot: GoodBye!\r\nHuman: Bye Alice!\r\nRobot: GoodBye!\r\n<\/pre>\nNow here robot is expected to reply GoodBye! Whenever a user says Bye in the beginning of the sentence.<\/p>\n
Let’s put <srai> tag to work here.<\/p>\n
Step 1: Create category<\/p>\n
\r\n<category>\r\n <pattern>BYE<\/pattern>\r\n <template>Good Bye!<\/template>\r\n<\/category>\r\n<\/pre>\nStep 2: Create generic category using <srai> tag<\/p>\n
\r\n<category>\r\n <pattern>BYE *<\/pattern>\r\n \r\n <template>\r\n <srai>BYE<\/srai>\r\n <\/template>\r\n \r\n<\/category>\r\n<\/pre>\nExample<\/h3>\n
Update srai.aiml inside C > ab > bots > test > aiml and srai.aiml.csv inside C > ab > bots > test > aimlif directories.<\/p>\n
srai.aiml<\/h3>\n
\r\n<?xml version = "1.0" encoding = "UTF-8"?>\r\n<aiml version = "1.0.1" encoding = "UTF-8"?>\r\n <category>\r\n <pattern> WHO IS ALBERT EINSTEIN <\/pattern>\r\n <template>Albert Einstein was a German physicist.<\/template>\r\n <\/category>\r\n \r\n <category>\r\n <pattern> WHO IS Isaac NEWTON <\/pattern>\r\n <template>Isaac Newton was a English physicist and mathematician.<\/template>\r\n <\/category>\r\n \r\n <category>\r\n <pattern>DO YOU KNOW WHO * IS<\/pattern>\r\n <template>\r\n <srai>WHO IS <star\/><\/srai>\r\n <\/template>\r\n <\/category>\r\n \r\n <category>\r\n <pattern>BYE<\/pattern>\r\n <template>Good Bye!<\/template>\r\n <\/category>\r\n \r\n <category>\r\n <pattern>BYE *<\/pattern>\r\n <template>\r\n <srai>BYE<\/srai>\r\n <\/template>\r\n <\/category>\r\n \r\n<\/aiml>\r\n<\/pre>\nstar.aiml.csv<\/h3>\n

Open the command prompt. Go to C > ab > and type the following command \u2212<\/p>\n
\r\njava -cp lib\/Ab.jar Main bot = test action = chat trace = false\r\n<\/pre>\nVerify the Result<\/h3>\n
You will see the following output \u2212<\/p>\n
\r\nHuman: Bye\r\nRobot: GoodBye!\r\nHuman: Bye Alice!\r\nRobot: GoodBye!\r\n<\/pre>\nSynonyms Resolution<\/h2>\n
Synonyms are words with similar meanings. A bot should reply in the same manner for similar words.<\/p>\n
For example, consider the following conversation.<\/p>\n
\r\nHuman: Factory\r\nRobot: Development Center!\r\nHuman: Industry\r\nRobot: Development Center!\r\n<\/pre>\nNow here robot is expected to reply Development Center! whenever a user says Factory or Industry.<\/p>\n
Let’s put <srai> tag to work here.<\/p>\n
Step 1: Create category<\/p>\n
\r\n<category>\r\n <pattern>FACTORY<\/pattern>\r\n <template>Development Center!<\/template>\r\n<\/category>\r\n<\/pre>\nStep 2: Create generic category using <srai> tag<\/p>\n

\r\nHuman: Factory\r\nRobot: Development Center!\r\nHuman: Industry\r\nRobot: Development Center!\r\n<\/pre>\nKeywords Detection<\/h2>\n
Using srai, we can return a simple response when the user types a specific keyword, say, School, no matter where “school” is present in the sentence.<\/p>\n
For example, consider the following conversation.<\/p>\n
\r\nHuman: I love going to school daily.\r\nRobot: School is an important institution in a child's life.\r\nHuman: I like my school.\r\nRobot: School is an important institution in a child's life.\r\n<\/pre>\nHere, the robot is expected to reply a standard message ‘School is an important institution in a child’s life.’ whenever a user has school in the sentence.<\/p>\n
Let’s put <srai> tag to work here. We’ll use wild-cards here.<\/p>\n
Step 1: Create category<\/p>\n
\r\n<category>\r\n <pattern>SCHOOL<\/pattern>\r\n <template>School is an important institution in a child's life.<\/template>\r\n<\/category>\r\n<\/pre>\nStep 2: Create generic categories using <srai> tag<\/p>\n

<random> Tag is used to get random responses. This tag enables AIML to respond differently for the same input. <random> tag is used along with <li> tags. <li> tags carry different responses that are to be delivered to the user on a random basis.<\/p>\n
Syntax<\/h3>\n
\r\n<random>\r\n <li> pattern1 <\/li>\r\n <li> pattern2 <\/li>\r\n ...\r\n <li> patternN <\/li>\r\n<\/random>\r\n<\/pre>\nFor example, consider the following conversation.<\/p>\n

AIML – <set>, <get> Tags<\/h1>\n
<set> and <get> tags are used to work with variables in AIML. Variables can be predefined variables or programmer created variables.<\/p>\n
Syntax<\/h3>\n
<set> tag is used to set value in a variable.<\/p>\n
\r\n<set name = "variable-name"> variable-value <\/set>\r\n<\/pre>\n<get> tag is used to get value from a variable.<\/p>\n
\r\n<get name = "variable-name"><\/get>\r\n<\/pre>\nFor example, consider the following conversation.<\/p>\n

<that> Tag is used in AIML to respond based on the context.<\/p>\n
Syntax<\/h3>\n
\r\n<that> template <\/that>\r\n<\/pre>\nFor example, consider the following conversation.<\/p>\n
\r\nHuman: Hi Alice! What about movies?\r\nRobot: Do you like comedy movies?\r\nHuman: No\r\nRobot: Ok! But I like comedy movies.\r\n<\/pre>\nExample<\/h3>\n

<topic> Tag is used in AIML to store a context so that later conversation can be done based on that context. Usually, <topic> tag is used in Yes\/No type conversation. It helps AIML to search categories written within the context of the topic.<\/p>\n
Syntax<\/h3>\n
Define a topic using <set> tag<\/p>\n
\r\n<template> \r\n <set name = "topic"> topic-name <\/set>\r\n<\/template>\r\n<\/pre>\nDefine the category using <topic> tag<\/p>\n
\r\n<topic name = "topic-name">\r\n <category>\r\n ...\r\n <\/category> \r\n<\/topic>\r\n<\/pre>\nFor example, consider the following conversation.<\/p>\n
\r\nHuman: let discuss movies\r\nRobot: Yes movies\r\nHuman: Comedy movies are nice to watch\r\nRobot: Watching good movie refreshes our minds.\r\nHuman: I like watching comedy\r\nRobot: I too like watching comedy.\r\n<\/pre>\nHere bot responds taking “movie” as the topic.<\/p>\n
Example<\/h3>\n
Create topic.aiml inside C > ab > bots > test > aiml and topic.aiml.csv inside C > ab > bots > test > aimlif directories.<\/p>\n
topic.aiml<\/h3>\n

<think> Tag is used in AIML to store a variable without notifying the user.<\/p>\n
Syntax<\/h3>\n
Store a value using <think> tag<\/p>\n
\r\n<think> \r\n <set name = "variable-name"> variable-value <\/set>\r\n<\/think>\r\n<\/pre>\nFor example, consider the following conversation.<\/p>\n
\r\nHuman: My name is Mahesh\r\nRobot: Hello!\r\nHuman: Byeee\r\nRobot: Hi Mahesh Thanks for the conversation!\r\n<\/pre>\nExample<\/h3>\n
Create think.aiml inside C > ab > bots > test > aiml and think.aiml.csv inside C > ab > bots > test > aimlif directories.<\/p>\n
think.aiml<\/h3>\n

\r\nHuman: My name is Mahesh\r\nRobot: Hello!\r\nHuman: Byeee\r\nRobot: Hi Mahesh Thanks for the conversation!\r\n<\/pre>\nAIML – <condition> Tag<\/h1>\n
<condition> Tag is similar to switch statements in programming language. It helps ALICE to respond to the matching input.<\/p>\n
Syntax<\/h3>\n
\r\n<condition name = "variable-name" value = "variable-value"\/>\r\n<\/pre>\nFor example, consider the following conversation.<\/p>\n
\r\nHuman: How are you feeling today\r\nRobot: I am happy!\r\n<\/pre>\nHere we’ve stored happy as the state of ALICE and that is how it responds as “I am happy!”.<\/p>\n
Example<\/h3>\n
Create condition.aiml inside C > ab > bots > test > aiml and condition.aiml.csv inside C > ab > bots > test > aimlif directories.<\/p>\n
condition.aiml<\/h3>\n
\r\n<?xml version = "1.0" encoding = "UTF-8"?>\r\n<aiml version = "1.0.1" encoding = "UTF-8"?>\r\n <category>\r\n <pattern> HOW ARE YOU FEELING TODAY <\/pattern>\r\n \r\n <template>\r\n <think><set name = "state"> happy<\/set><\/think>\r\n <condition name = "state" value = "happy">\r\n I am happy!\r\n <\/condition>\r\n \r\n <condition name = "state" value = "sad">\r\n I am sad!\r\n <\/condition>\r\n <\/template>\r\n \r\n <\/category>\r\n<\/aiml>\r\n<\/pre>\ncondition.aiml.csv<\/h3>\n
