Area Of Science
- Artificial Intelligence
- Natural Language Processing
- Educational Technology
Background
- Accessing academic information on institutional websites is time-consuming for students.
- Current chatbot platforms often provide irrelevant outputs and inaccurate user intent prediction.
- There is a need for an automated, intelligent system to provide quick and precise academic assistance.
Purpose Of The Study
- To develop an automated, student intent-based educational chatbot.
- To integrate deep learning and advanced optimization algorithms for accurate intent recognition.
- To improve student engagement by providing timely and relevant academic information.
Main Methods
- Pre-processing student inquiries and generic chatbot data.
- Representing text data as vectors using BERT, TransformerNet, and Text CNN.
- Employing the Averaging-based Driving Training - Barnacles Mating Optimizer (ADT-BMO) for feature selection and optimization.
- Utilizing an adaptive deep neural network with symmetric convolution (AA-DTCN-SC) for intent recognition.
- Optimizing the AA-DTCN-SC model parameters using ADT-BMO.
Main Results
- The developed chatbot demonstrates superior performance compared to baseline models (DTCN, RNN, Bi-LSTM).
- Performance improvements were noted as 4.44% (DTCN), 3.3% (RNN), 10.59% (Bi-LSTM), and 11.9% (unspecified baseline).
- The ADT-BMO algorithm effectively optimizes feature weighting and model parameters for enhanced accuracy.
- The system automatically generates contextually relevant responses to student queries.
Conclusions
- The research presents a well-functioning, scalable, and time-saving educational chatbot.
- The chatbot enhances student engagement through quick, precise, and pertinent scholarly assistance.
- The novel AA-DTCN-SC model, optimized by ADT-BMO, effectively addresses limitations of existing chatbot platforms in educational settings.

The innovation of touch-tone telephony revolutionized the telecommunications industry by replacing the traditional rotary dial with a dual-tone multi-frequency (DTMF) signaling system. This system uses a matrix-style keypad with buttons arranged in four rows and three columns, creating 12 distinct signals each assigned to a pair of frequencies. Each button press results in a simultaneous generation of two sinusoidal tones – one from a low-frequency group (697 to 941 Hz) and one from a...
Cognitive learning is based on purposive behavior, incidental learning, and insight learning.
E. C. Tolman's theory of purposive behavior emphasizes that much behavior is goal-directed. He argued that to understand behavior, we must look at the entire sequence of actions leading to a goal. For instance, high school students study hard, not just due to past reinforcement but also to achieve the goal of getting into a good college.
Tolman introduced the idea that behavior is influenced by...
Cruise control systems in cars are designed as multi-input systems to maintain a driver's desired speed while compensating for external disturbances such as changes in terrain. The block diagram for a cruise control system typically includes two main inputs: the desired speed set by the driver and any external disturbances, such as the incline of the road. By adjusting the engine throttle, the system maintains the vehicle's speed as close to the desired value as possible.
In the absence...
In any LTI (Linear Time-Invariant) system, the convolution of two signals is denoted using a convolution operator, assuming all initial conditions are zero. The convolution integral can be divided into two parts: the zero-input or natural response and the zero-state or forced response, with t0 indicating the initial time.
To simplify the convolution integral, it is assumed that both the input signal and impulse response are zero for negative time values. The graphical convolution process...
Learning is the process of acquiring knowledge or skills through practice or experience, leading to long-lasting behavioral changes. This acquisition occurs through interaction with the environment and requires practice or experience. For instance, mastering a skill such as surfing requires considerable practice and experience, highlighting the essential role of repeated interactions with the environment in learning.
In contrast to learned behaviors, unlearned behaviors such as crying, sexual...
An important concept in studying metabolism and energy is that of chemical equilibrium. Most chemical reactions are reversible. They can proceed in both directions, releasing energy into their environment in one direction, and absorbing it from the environment in the other direction. The same is true for the chemical reactions involved in cell metabolism, such as the breaking down and building up of proteins into and from individual amino acids, respectively. Reactants within a closed system...
