College Enquiry Chat Bot

Abstract

College Enquiry Chat bot is simple web application which aims to provide the information regarding college. The information can be in the form of teachers or student’s GPA or the various activities in the college. It can be an upgraded form of our college’s webkiosk. After some improvements and some additions this project can be fully embedded into the working site of the college. The chatbot created here is a web based application which used Natural Language Processing Libraries and Artificial Intelligence Markup Language to have conversations with humans. “Eliza” and “Cleverbot” are some of the web applications which have been created in the past. Like “Eliza”, the responses of this chatbot are programmed up to some extent. This is because of the fact that it is a simple bot which answers the queries regarding the college. Since the curriculum of the college keeps on changing, there has to be database which can be edited and upgraded from time to time. So far, what I have achieved is a sample program which processes the response of the users by using simple parsing and substituting them into premade templates. It also uses hardcoded phrases so that the conversation is continued.
