چکیده

This paper presents an approach to creating intelligent conversational agents that are capable of returning appropriate responses to natural language input. Our approach consists of using a supervised learning algorithm in combination with different NLP algorithms in training the system to identify paraphrases of the user’s question stored in a database. When tested on a data set consisting of questions and answers for a current conversational agent project, our approach returned an accuracy score of 79.15%, a precision score of 77.58% and a recall score of 78.01%.

Improved Skips for Faster Postings List Intersection

Information retrieval can be achieved through computerized processes by generating a list of relevant responses to a query. The document processor, matching function and query analyzer are the main components of an information retrieval system. Document retrieval system is fundamentally based on: Boolean, vector-space, probabilistic, and language models. In this paper, a new methodology for mat...

First-Encounter Talks between Younger and Older Adults in Taiwan: A Conversation Analysis Approach

Outside of Western contexts, natural-conversation-based research on intergenerational communication is relatively rare. To help redress this imbalance, this paper explores the conversational styles of first-encounter talks between five pairs of college students and older adults in Taiwan, and infers the interactional norms that underlie them. It is found that younger Taiwanese adults tend to ex...
