• Abstract: We present TruthBot, an all-in-one multilingual conversational chatbot designed for seeking truth (trustworthy and verified information) on specific topics. It helps users to obtain information specific to certain topics, fact-check information, and get recent news. The chatbot learns the intent of a query by training a deep neural network from the data of the previous intents and responds appropriately when it classifies the intent in one of the classes above. Each class is implemented as a separate module that uses either its own curated knowledge-base or searches the web to obtain the correct information. The topic of the chatbot is currently set to COVID-19. However, the bot can be easily customized to any topic-specific responses. Our experimental results show that each module performs significantly better than its closest competitor, which is verified both quantitatively and through several user-based surveys in multiple languages. TruthBot has been deployed in June 2020 and is currently running.

  This paper proposes a model that answers frequently asked questions (FAQs) in the Amharic language. The proposed program employs tokenization, stop word removal, and stemming to analyze and categorize Amharic input sentences. The model was integrated with Facebook Messenger and deployed on a Heroku server for 24-hour accessibility.

  For robots to follow instructions from people, they must be able to connect the rich semantic information in human vocabulary. We develop a simple approach, which leverages a pre-trained vision-language model to extract object-identifying information. In a variety of experiments on a real mobile manipulator, we find that MOO generalizes zero-shot to a wide range of novel object categories and environments.

  Learning to converse using only a few examples is a great challenge in conversational AI. The current best conversational models are either good chit-chatters (e.g., BlenderBot) or goal-oriented systems (e.g., MinTL) We propose prompt-based few-shot learning which does not require gradient-based fine-tuning but instead uses a few examples as the only source of learning.
