NPCEditor controls the spoken behavior of the characters in the Toolkit, as well as the structure and logic of the interaction through its dialog manager. It contains a list of user  “Questions” and character “Answers“, and the links between them. NPCEditor uses a statistical text classifier to determine the best character response to novel user input, allowing users to converse with the characters with reduced authoring effort.
