This morning I defended my thesis (in foreign languages) whose title was “Language and Artificial Intelligence”. I experimented a bit also with chatterbots and I had corrected and modified Joe Strout’s therapist (written in Python), added a few more patterns and added the support for Espeak (a voice synthesiser). I had to present my work and then chat to the chatterbot (which I called “Alberta”) so as to show how it could trick us into thinking that we are dealing with a human being (in limited contexts).<\/p>\n

I made my laptop (running Hardy with Compiz) resume from standby, I used URandR to clone the content of my screen on the beamer and then the audio decided to crash. What the heck???
\nCrash<\/a><\/p>\n

I tested the program 2 days ago with the same projector and audio cable and it worked well. *Of course*, after my graduation both my program and Ubuntu worked well… I should have restarted my computer but I was running out of time.<\/p>\n

I also told the commission that something similar happened to Bill Gates \ud83d\ude1b<\/p>\n

I explained what my program was supposed to do, etc. and, as you can see in this photo, the defence of my thesis went great. I really can’t complain.
\nSuccess<\/a><\/p>\n

Here I was explaining what happened to my laptop to a friend of mine:

Of course now that I graduated I am also unemployed, therefore I’m officially looking for an IT job (better if located in Europe).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
