Also: Have a Talk with MegaHAL on Kongregate.
When I first created a simple Chatbot, which just searches answers for user inputs from a predefined XML file, someone pointed me to MegaHAL as an example which can be trained from users' inputs.
MegaHAL is an advanced ChatBot, created by Jason Hutchens in 1998 and won the Loebner Prize Contest. MegaHAL is based on 4th-order Markov models to construct the model of language, so it can learn from user's input. Thanks to Adobe Alchemy, porting MegaHAL is almost painless.
[1 HOW TO PLAY]
Click after the prompt ">" to get focus. Then type what you want
to say after the prompt and press Enter key twice to sent your message
to the Bot. Now you can get your reply. (The interface is command-like)[Save the brains]: "right click" =>"#Save brain"
[Upload your brains]: "right click" =>"#Upload brain"=>browse for your save brain, it's a zip file=> type command "#brain user" to change the brain
