The Genealogy of ELIZA
Summary
This article outlines the ELIZAGEN project, which applies phylogenetic methods to ELIZA implementations to map a software-based lineage. It describes a corpus of 27 specimens (1965–2025) across eight languages, analyzed with 13 binary features, and references a draft paper detailing the methodology and findings. The page also links to data, code, and papers, framing ELIZA as a textual tradition rather than a strict line of descent.
