Abstract
The fast progress in the development of communication and information has made people very diverse in knowledge improvement, education, and learning methods. In this paper, we show how we can convert documents into the knowledge of a chatter robot. It helps users to make profit out of it by asking and answering queries, using electronic documents which are integrated with the simulated system. Hence, we are motivated to develop an educational chatbot system which provides a virtual assistant. Its main function is to streamline and to automate manual and administrative tasks while supporting other course-related activities. The aim of this research work is to develop a system which is automated and can provide an answer to a question asked by a user on behalf of a person, for educational purposes. We have focused on the local as well as Web databases to make the model user-friendly, interactive, and scalable.
