Conversational systems or chatterbots converse/chat by learning from their interactions with users. To do this the systems must have an adaptive knowledge base that can be updated by the systems themselves. RONE is a tele-text based conversational system. RONE's knowledge base is built using SQL and accessed using the main application. Additionally, RONE uses conjunctions and prepositions as markers to expedite the dissemination and storage of information which helps him learn. This book covers the approach RONE uses to break up new information for learning purposes - the principle technique introduced here being the storage of information in a format to answer all the possible questions directly without inference. We also look at other conversation based learning approaches and their limitations. Further, we compare RONE's performance against some contemporary conversational systems and provide evidence of the relative superior informational accuracy of RONE's responses to user interrogation.

In his quest for scientific and technological knowledge, Man has made tremendous progress. He has gone to the moon and is on the threshold of visiting other distant planets in the Solar system and beyond. But his inner self remains in turmoil. His quest for spiritual enlightenment is in disarray as he gropes to understand the manifestation of the cosmic power that orders our universe and infinite billions of galaxies around us, and sends planets spinning through the vastness of Outer Space in their seemingly orderly course. Connected to it are the other issues relating to the meaning of religion and spirituality, and their place and significance in the inner and external environment of an individual's life. An inquisitive mind seeks answers to these matters that appear to him as riddles. The lay individual with more than ritualistic interest in Hindu religion is often perplexed by the phenomenon of multitude of divinities, the significance of idol worship and various rituals, the importance and relevance of prayers, and such other matters. When he turns to the treatises by religious teachers and spiritual leaders for answers to the queries or scepticism that frequently arise in his mind, he finds the texts complex and written in an idiom that is not easy to comprehend. Deeply influenced by the teaching of the Bhagvat Gita, the author, Shri Ram Gopal Bhatnagar, has compiled this treatise on Hinduism, "Face to face with the Supreme" as a labour of love. It is a welcome addition to the vast aggregation of literature on Hinduism as it seeks to reach out to the lay individual to satisfy his curiosity and answer the questions that crop up in his mind in language that is simple and clear. The author has attempted to unravel the complexities of Hinduism in the novel form of an imaginary interview with God. Through carefully framed questions, he has sought to clarify and communicate the complex subtexts of Hinduism.
