START really doesn’t even qualify as “natural language processing”. I noticed the same kind of responses over and over, which can be summarized in the following algorithm. • If the input text contains the word “population” (or a few other keywords related to size, geography, etc.), and the name of a country or continent, then output an infodump taken from the CIA World Factbook. • Otherwise, if the input text contains a proper noun for which http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Noun exists, output “I think you can find the relevant information here: “. • Otherwise, output “I don’t know the answer.” This can be done in less than 100 lines of shell script (plus a World Factbook database, which I’m sure you can get for free somewhere). START appears a little dumber, because misspelled words cause it to output things like “I did not understand the word “blah”. Please try using a different word.” For a good time, enter a single word, such as “qat”.
