Towards the Implementation of an Intelligent Software Agent for the Elderly Amir Hossein Faghih Dinevari
Towards the Implementation of an Intelligent Software Agent for the Elderly by Amir Hossein Faghih Dinevari A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science Department of Computing Science University of Alberta c Amir Hossein Faghih Dinevari, 2017 Abstract With the growing population of the elderly and the decline of population growth rate, developed countries are facing problems in taking care of their elderly. One of the issues that is becoming more severe is the issue of compan- ionship for the aged people, particularly those who chose to live independently. In order to assist the elderly, we suggest the idea of a software conversational intelligent agent as a companion and assistant. In this work, we look into the different components that are necessary for creating a personal conversational agent. We have a preliminary implementa- tion of each component. Among them, we have a personalized knowledge base which is populated by the extracted information from the conversations be- tween the user and the agent. We believe that having a personalized knowledge base helps the agent in having better, more fluent and contextual conversa- tions. We created a prototype system and conducted a preliminary evaluation to assess by users conversations of an agent with and without a personalized knowledge base. ii Table of Contents 1 Introduction 1 1.1 Motivation . 1 1.1.1 Population Trends . 1 1.1.2 Living Options for the Elderly . 2 1.1.3 Companionship . 3 1.1.4 Current Technologies . 4 1.2 Proposed System . 5 1.2.1 Personal Assistant Functionalities . -

An Analysis on the Present and Future of Chatbots
JASC: Journal of Applied Science and Computations ISSN NO: 1076-5131 An Analysis on the Present and Future of Chatbots Saveeth R1, Sowmya R2 , Varshini M2 1Assistant Professor, Department of Computer Science and Engineering, Coimbatore Institute of Technology, Coimbatore 2U.G Student, Department of Computer Science and Engineering, Coimbatore Institute of Technology, Coimbatore [email protected] [email protected], [email protected] Abstract - With the increase in messaging applications in the modern world, the evolution of chatbots, also referred to as chatter robots seem to have revolutionized not only the industrial sectors but also the lives of common people to a great extent. A chatbot is a computer program which performs all the tasks required by humans by applying Artificial Intelligence techniques like Natural Language Processing (NLP), Natural Language Understanding (NLU) and Natural Language Generation (NLG). For the chatbot to understand the query/request posted by the user, a technique called pattern-matching is employed. Structured Query Language (SQL) is used for pattern matching. The data to respond to the user request is made available through the chatbots databases. Artificial Intelligence Markup Language (AIML) [9] is used to build a bot which communicates with humans. This paper gives an overview of conversational chatbots in the new era of technological advancements. Keywords – Chatter robots, AIML, Artificial Intelligence, Pattern-matching, Neural networks I. INTRODUCTION A chatbot [1] is a conversational agent which communicates with humans to respond with the best possible result from its knowledge database. [11] The response to a particular request is made by matching the user input with the stored data in the database through pattern matching technique. -
From Eliza to Xiaoice: Challenges and Opportunities with Social Chatbots

After decades of research and de- velopment, we have seen progress from Eliza and Parry in the 1960s and 1970s, to task-completion systems as in the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) communicator program in the 2000s, to intelligent personal assistants such as Siri, in the 2010s, to today’s social chatbots like XiaoIce. Social chatbots’ appeal lies not only in their ability to respond to users’ diverse requests, but also in being able to establish an emotional connection with users. The latter is done by satisfying users’ need for communication, affection, as well as social belonging. To further the advancement and adoption of social chatbots, their design must focus on user engagement and take both intellectual quotient (IQ) and emotional quotient (EQ) into account. Users should want to engage with a social chatbot; as such, we define the success metric for social chatbots as conversation-turns per session (CPS). Using XiaoIce as an illustrative example, we discuss key technologies in building social chatbots from core chat to visual awareness to skills. -
