Chat archive for machine learning

Question

Hiho, currently I'm trying to use machine learning to learn dialogues and conversations. Unfortunately I'm not able to find big archives of chat logs. Do you know some public archives in english and german language?

Obviously, chat logs means something like this:

    Partner 1: hey, how are you?
    Partner 2: I'm fine, you?
    Partner 1: fine as well.
    Partner 1: wanna go to the gym?
    Partner 2: yeah, lets go

for example. doesn't matter if there are more than 2 chat partners.

Thank you

You can find many IRC logs on the websites below. The first has actual raw log files, probably that's what you're looking for.
