8 Wednesday, February 1, 1978 University Daily Kansan Computer is analyst Staff Writer Rv ROB HAGAN Electronic psychology—a computer programmed to act as a therapist—could some day handle the frustrations of an upset student. "I just flunked a test; my roommate used my toothpaste," the student sips. "The food at the dorm is dung, and my girlfriend wants to marry me. I need to sit down and eat." "Well," the computer answers, "why don't you sit down and talk about it?" Jon Lyman University is today at universities across the country, including the University of Arizona. Francis Tuggle, professor of computer science and business, said yesterday that professors at Massachusetts Institute of Technology had developed a computer program, named ELIZA, that worked like a psychologist. pss TUGGLE HAS taught several classes on artificial intelligence, which he defined as working with machines that behave and think like humans, and has researched problem solving and decision making with computers. "Basically what happens," Tuggle said, "is the computer rearranges the words of the person. When he says, 'I'm really frustrated today,' the computer very likely returns back with, 'You are you angry today!' To but a naive person they think it's a therapist." Jeff Bangert, consultant at the computer center, said the University had the ELIZA program in its computer and anyone who could operate a terminal could use it. ELIZA, however, cannot diagnose the cause of a patient's emotional stress, Tuggle said, because it only reflects what it is to elizLAZI will not replace psychologists, he A SIMILAR PROGRAM, named PARRY, represents a patient who suffers from paranoid. Tuggle said. It was developed by a Stanford professor. "The computer thought that he was a 36-year-old mailman from Palo Alto, Calif., who thought the Mafia was to get him with debts and滑动 debt that he hadn't paid." Turtle said. In a test by the Stanford professor several psychologists diagnosed PARRY as a paranoid affliction and called him by phone. The thought he was a patient in a hospital several miles away. Eventually, Tuggle said, ELIZA tried to diagnose PARRY. But it didn't work because they wouldn't readdress PARRY had been designed to respond to a doctor's questions and ELIZA to an individual's problems. OTHER RESEARCHERS have been trying to teach computers to read and understand English. The goal of Sally Sedlow, professor of computer science and language, is to teach computers to analyze books and written documents and to carry on written conversations. people are more complicated," Tuggle said. "Machines can only think continuously for a short period of time, but people can focus faces and think continuously for days."
