Human-technology integration with industrial conversational agents: A conceptual architecture and a taxonomy for manufacturing
Conversational agents are systems with great potential to enhance human-computer interaction in industrial settings. Although the number of applications of conversational agents in many fields is growing, there is no shared view of the elements to design and implement for chatbots in the industrial field. The paper presents the combination of many research contributions into an integrated conceptual architecture, for developing industrial conversational agents using Nickerson's methodology. The conceptual architecture consists of five core modules; every module consists of specific elements and approaches. Furthermore, the paper defines a taxonomy from the study of empirical applications of manufacturing conversational agents. Indeed, some applications of chatbots in manufacturing are available but those have never been collected in single research. The paper fills this gap by analyzing the empirical cases and presenting a qualitative analysis, with verification of the proposed taxonomy. The contribution of the article is mainly to illustrate the elements needed for the development of a conversational agent in manufacturing: researchers and practitioners can use the proposed conceptual architecture and taxonomy to more easily investigate, define, and develop all the elements for chatbot implementation
Deep Learning for Chatbots
Natural Language Processing (NLP) requires modelling complex relationships between the semantics of the language. While traditional machine learning techniques are used for NLP, the models built for conversations, called chatbots, are unable to be truly generic. While chatbots have been made with traditional machine learning techniques, deep learning has allowed the complexities within NLP to be easier to model and can be leveraged to build a chatbot which has a real conversation with a human. In this project, we explore the problems and techniques used to build chatbots and where improvements can be made. We analyze different architectures to build chatbots and propose a hybrid model, partly retrieval-based and partly generation-based which gives the best results
Deep Learning Based Amharic Chatbot for FAQs in Universities
University students often spend a considerable amount of time seeking answers
to common questions from administrators or teachers. This can become tedious
for both parties, leading to a need for a solution. In response, this paper
proposes a chatbot model that utilizes natural language processing and deep
learning techniques to answer frequently asked questions (FAQs) in the Amharic
language. Chatbots are computer programs that simulate human conversation
through the use of artificial intelligence (AI), acting as a virtual assistant
to handle questions and other tasks. The proposed chatbot program employs
tokenization, normalization, stop word removal, and stemming to analyze and
categorize Amharic input sentences. Three machine learning model algorithms
were used to classify tokens and retrieve appropriate responses: Support Vector
Machine (SVM), Multinomial Na\"ive Bayes, and deep neural networks implemented
through TensorFlow, Keras, and NLTK. The deep learning model achieved the best
results with 91.55% accuracy and a validation loss of 0.3548 using an Adam
optimizer and SoftMax activation function. The chatbot model was integrated
with Facebook Messenger and deployed on a Heroku server for 24-hour
accessibility. The experimental results demonstrate that the chatbot framework
achieved its objectives and effectively addressed challenges such as Amharic
Fidel variation, morphological variation, and lexical gaps. Future research
could explore the integration of Amharic WordNet to narrow the lexical gap and
support more complex questions
Chatbots with Personality Using Deep Learning
Natural Language Processing (NLP) requires the computational modelling of the complex relationships of the syntax and semantics of a language. While traditional machine learning methods are used to solve NLP problems, they cannot imitate the human ability for language comprehension. With the growth in deep learning, these complexities within NLP are easier to model, and be used to build many computer applications. A particular example of this is a chatbot, where a human user has a conversation with a computer program, that generates responses based on the user’s input. In this project, we study the methods used in building chatbots, what they lack and what can be improved
Artificial Intelligence Agents and Knowledge Acquisition in Health Information System
This research work highlights the need for AI-powered applications and their usages for theoptimization of information flow processes in the medical sector, from the perspective of howAI-agents can impact human-machine interaction (HCI) for acquiring relevant and necessaryinformation in emergency department (ED). This study investigates how AI-agents can be applied to manage situations of patient related unexpected experiences, such as long waiting times,overcrowding issues, and high number of patients leaving without being diagnosed. For knowledge acquisition, we incorporated modelling workshop techniques for gathering domain information from the domain experts in the context of emergency department in Karolinska Hospi-tal, Solna, Stockholm, Sweden, and for designing the AI-agent utilizing NLP techniques. We dis-cuss how the proposed solution can be used as an assistant to healthcare practitioners and workers to improve medical assistance in various medical procedures to increase flow and to reduce workloads and anxiety levels. The implementation part of this work is based on the natural language processing (NLP) techniques that help to develop the intelligent behavior for information acquisition and itsretriev-al in a natural way to support patients/relatives’ communication with the healthcare organization efficiently and in a natural way
Critical Role of Artificially Intelligent Conversational Chatbot
Artificially intelligent chatbot, such as ChatGPT, represents a recent and
powerful advancement in the AI domain. Users prefer them for obtaining quick
and precise answers, avoiding the usual hassle of clicking through multiple
links in traditional searches. ChatGPT's conversational approach makes it
comfortable and accessible for finding answers quickly and in an organized
manner. However, it is important to note that these chatbots have limitations,
especially in terms of providing accurate answers as well as ethical concerns.
In this study, we explore various scenarios involving ChatGPT's ethical
implications within academic contexts, its limitations, and the potential
misuse by specific user groups. To address these challenges, we propose
architectural solutions aimed at preventing inappropriate use and promoting
responsible AI interactions.Comment: Extended version of Conversation 2023 position pape
