Ryan Lowe of McGill University, Montreal has developed a neural network that can differentiate between convincing and unconvincing chatbot responses to human questions, matching the judgement of human evaluators. The system could help teach chatbots to become more "human-like" much more quickly than is currently possible. Lowe intendeds to open-source his chatbot evaluator, so that it can be used by other researchers.
