• Abstract: We present a so-called Conversational Hybrid AI (CHAI) architecture for building explainable and accurate conversational agents for eGovernment. We exemplify the architecture with a running prototype of a Covid-19 Chatbot based on a governmental guideline directed to citizens. We also describe an ongoing case on case management for supplementary grants for students with disabilities. We use large language models (LLMs) as a bounded conversational interface to a rule-based (symbolic AI) controller that executes a logical model expressing the provisions and obligations of the law and/or guidelines. As logical modelling language we use Dynamic Condition Response (DCR) graphs, a symbolic declarative process-modeling language developed with the aim to be able to express both deontic, defeasible and temporal logic properties, making it suitable for expressing both the rules of the law and the steps of the legal case management processes.

  ethical and legal concerns make it necessary for automated reasoners to justify in human-understandable terms. We propose to use s(CASP), a top-down execution model for predicate ASP, to model vague concepts following a set of patterns. We have implemented a framework, called s(LAW), to model, reason, and justify the applicable legislation and validate it by translating (and benchmarking) a representative use case.

• Controllable Mixed-Initiative Dialogue Generation through Prompting [50.03458333265885]
  Mixed-initiative dialogue tasks involve repeated exchanges of information and conversational control. Agents gain control by generating responses that follow particular dialogue intents or strategies, prescribed by a policy planner. Standard approach has been fine-tuning pre-trained language models to perform generation conditioned on these intents. We instead prompt large language models as a drop-in replacement to fine-tuning on conditional generation.
