Una Comunità di Chatbot per i Beni Culturali
2005
L'intuizione occupa un ruolo fondamentale nella capacità di ragionamento degli esseri umani. L'obiettivo del lavoro è la progettazione di un'infrastruttura in grado di fornire informazioni che oltre ad appoggiarsi ad un insieme di conoscenze basato su regole sia dotata anche di capacità intuitive. A tal fine è presentato un sistema preliminare che rappresenta il primo passo verso la realizzazione di tale infrastruttura. Il sistema permette ad un utente di interagire con una comunità di chat-bot aventi competenze specifiche in modo da navigare in uno spazio concettuale generato automaticamente con il paradigma di analisi della semantica latente (LSA). La base di conoscenza di ciascun chat-bo…
Improving Assessment of Students through Semantic Space Construction
2009
Assessment is one of the hardest tasks an Intelligent Tutoring System has to perform. It involves different and sometimes uncorrelated sub-tasks: building a student model to define her needs, defining tools and procedures to perform tests, understanding students' replies to system prompts, defining suitable procedures to evaluate the correctness of students' replies, and strategies to improve students' abilities after the assessment session.In this work we present an improvement of our system, TutorJ, with particular attention to the assessment phase. Many tutoring systems offer only a limited set of assessment options like multiple-choice questions,fill-in-the-blanks tests or other types …
A Modular Framework for Versatile Conversational Agent Building
2011
This paper illustrates a web-based infrastructure of an architecture for conversational agents equipped with a modular knowledge base. This solution has the advantage to allow the building of specific modules that deal with particular features of a conversation (ranging from its topic to the manner of reasoning of the chatbot). This enhances the agent interaction capabilities. The approach simplifies the chatbot knowledge base design process: extending, generalizing or even restricting the chatbot knowledge base in order to suit it to manage specific dialoguing tasks as much as possible.
Automatic Illustration of Short Texts via Web Images
2015
In this paper we propose a totally unsupervised and automatic illustration method, which aims to find onto the Web a set of images to illustrate the content of an input short text. The text is modelled as a semantic space and a set of relevant keywords is extracted. We compare and discuss different methods to create semantic representations by keyword extraction. Keywords are used to query Google Image Search engine for a list of relevant images. We also extract information from the Web pages that include the retrieved images, to create an Image Semantic Space, which is compared to the Text Semantic Space in order to rank the list of retrieved images. Tests showed that our method achieves v…
