ELIZA 2.0

The ELIZA program was developed by Joseph Weizenbaum, and published in 1966, it was capable of engaging in conversations with users which were framed in the style of a psychologist. The program applied very simple natural language processing techniques and was very successful and was taken seriously by many users, who would open their hearts to it. It's about time to bring it into the 21st century, let's use more sophisticated AI techniques and see how much better we can make ELIZA, and evaluate it in a Turing Test style assessment (e.g. the Loebner Prize).
