Shiksha Mitra: An Assamese Language AI Chatbot Using Deep Learning

This research paper presents “Shiksha Mitra”, an artificial intelligence chatbot that answers user queries in Assamese for educational purposes. The chatbot uses Assamese Natural Language Processing (ANLP) and deep learning techniques to identify relevant sentences and provide responses. Unlike many organizations that use English chatbots, this research aims to develop a data-driven, retrieval-based, closed domain chatbot that can interact with users in Assamese. The chatbot is trained with corpus data encoded in UTF-8 format using a train function adapter. A feedforward neural network is used to find the best match from the corpus and generate a suitable answer.
