Drexel Chatbot

Project TitleIn this age of the internet, we have abundance of information. Today, to find any information, we use search engines like Google. These systems don’t give a definite answer but provide a list of web pages which may have the answer. Drexel Chatbot is a question answering system which tries to understand the query and provide a definitive answer using neural networks. For example, if it receives the question "What time does the gym close today?", it may give the response “The gym closes at 10pm today.” Similar question answering systems exist for other domains, but Drexel Chatbot focuses on only answering questions about Drexel, making it more reliable than other general purpose chatbots. Drexel chatbot provides a Web API that serves the chatbot. Other developers can then use the API to integrate the system into their own applications. Sample web and mobile interfaces demonstrate the use of the API.
