Conversational knowledge teaching agent that uses a knowledge base

Abstract

When implementing a conversational educational teaching agent, user-intent understanding and dialog management in a dialog system are not sufficient to give users educational information. In this paper, we propose a conversational educational teaching agent that gives users some educational information or triggers interests on educational contents. The proposed system not only converses with a user but also answer questions that the user asked or asks some educational questions by integrating a dialog system with a knowledge base. We used the Wikipedia corpus to learn the weights between two entities and embedding of properties to calculate similarities for the selection of system questions and answers.
