A System of Simple Sentence Parsing Rules to Produce "Answer Matching" Chatbots

Producing interactive chatbots usually involves complex sentence parsing approaches that are beyond the scope of material that can be handled in introductory CS courses. In this paper, a simple framework is presented for parsing a sentence from a user during a chat with a chatbot using an "answer matching" strategy that is not at a level of complexity that is too difficult for an introductory CS student.
