The general objective of this research project is to develop a new natural and empathic chatbot by integrating the transformer and intent-based systems. The goal is to implement a system for expressive 3D interactive characters that can move between the structure of an intent-based system with specific Question and Answer pairs and the more open-ended smart system of the Transformer. Most currently existing chatbot systems are limited in their abilities to engage in open-ended and natural dialogues with human users. As such, this research project will investigate the possibility of expanding the knowledge base of existing chatbots to answer questions outside of the original knowledge base.
