College Enquiry Chatbot using Conversational AI

Abstract

Chatbots are computer programs that use text or voice-based interfaces to replicate human conversation. They are often used to automate mundane processes, provide customer support, or aid in the retrieval of information. Chatbots are built with a number of strategies that enable them to interpret and respond to user inputs in a more human-like manner. They can be employed in a variety of industries, including e-commerce, healthcare, and banking. We have analysed and compared numerous chatbot strategies in this report to establish the optimal way for our own chatbot project. We reviewed twenty-six papers on chatbot development and assessed the advantages and disadvantages of various strategies. Natural language processing techniques, such as tokenization and named entity recognition, have been shown in our research to be critical for interpreting user inputs. We also discovered that dialogue management methods, such as rule-based and machine learning-based approaches, have an important influence in influencing discussion flow. Furthermore, we discovered that natural language generation techniques, such as template-based and neural network-based methods, are critical in generating effective chatbot responses. We also investigated various services on the market in order to create a functional chatbot for our college. We also emphasized the various applications of chatbots as well as the current hurdles in the industry. Based on these findings, we chose a technique for our own chatbot project that employs advanced natural language processing and machine learning techniques to create more human-like conversations and improve overall user experience.
