Student,Faculty at IIT Guwahati developing AI chatbot to support EEE students. - Analytics Jobs

The world of technology is rapidly changing, and one must adapt to it quickly to survive in the race of'survival of the fittest'. The Department of EEE has a team of postgraduate students from the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Guwahati, along with their faculty members are developing an Artificial Intelligence-enabled Chatbot named "ALBELA" to teach and support the first-year students of Electrical & Electronics Engineering (EEE). ALBELA is capable of addressing the queries and doubts that each of the approximately 850 students pursuing EEE at the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) may have and can even scan and convert documents, PDFs or Word and provide results relevant to the query asked. "We have been working on its development since the last 7 months with a team of dedicated 7 research scholars of the department. Earlier we did the trial runs of the Chatbot and started using from this academic session onwards. The response from the students has been overwhelming and we hope that this will become the new normal shortly. Prof. Rohit Sinha, Head EEE Department, and the team IBM have extended their continuous support for this activity."
