Abstract

Recently, conversational robots are widely used in mobile terminals as the virtual assistant or companion. The goals of prevalent conversational robots mainly focus on four categories, namely chitchat, task completion, question answering and recommendation. In this paper, we present a Chinese intelligent conversational robot, Benben, which is designed to achieve these goals in a unified architecture. Moreover, it also has some featured functions such as diet map, implicit feedback based conversation, interactive machine reading, news recommendation, etc. Since the release of Benben at June 6, 2016, there are 2,505 users (till Feb 22, 2017) and 11,107 complete human-robot conversations, which totally contain 198,998 single turn conversation pairs.
