摘要

在本文中,我们为讲印地语的年轻人介绍了一个名为BELA-Bot的英语语言习得会话代理(聊天机器人)。该代理软件是为印度一家非营利组织的贫困学生开发的,支持印地语和印式英语(代码转换的印地语和英语,主要用英语正字法书写)的发音。BELA有两种交互模式:一种是针对经典英语语言学习任务的问答模式,如词义、翻译、阅读文章理解等;另一种是允许用户练习语言技能的开放域对话系统模式。我们介绍了BELA设计的高级概述,包括实现细节和我们早期原型的初步结果。我们还报道了为主要讲印地语的人口创建英语学习聊天机器人所面临的挑战。

BELA: Bot for English Language Acquisition
In this paper, we introduce a conversational agent (chatbot) for Hindi-speaking youth called BELA—Bot for English Language Acquisition. Developed for young underprivileged students at an Indian non-profit, the agent supports both Hindi and Hinglish (code-switched Hindi and English, written primarily with English orthography) utterances. BELA has two interaction modes: a question-answering mode for classic English language learning tasks like word meanings, translations, reading passage comprehensions, etc., and an open-domain dialogue system mode to allow users to practice their language skills.We present a high-level overview of the design of BELA, including the implementation details and the preliminary results of our early prototype. We also report the challenges in creating an English-language learning chatbot for a largely Hindi-speaking population.
