Desarrollo de un asistente virtual inteligente para apoyo al proceso de aprendizaje de la asignatura de Inglés nivel I para los estudiantes del programa de Sistemas de la Universidad de Pamplona ampliación Villa del Rosario.

Abstract

The purpose of the development of this project is to provide help to the students of System Engineering of the University of Pamplona using an intelligent virtual assistant, due of difficulties of the same English, it is not easy for them to speak it, since the language has different phonemes and structure when it is spoken, it would be like if someone were learning to speak again, but this time in a different language. Added to the above, there is the wall of fear, which stops the full learning of the language, because of this factor makes it difficult for the person who tries to communicate, to be able to express himself/herself with others who speak English. As a contribution to the solution of this problem, the idea of using an intelligent virtual assistant is conceived in order to emulate the conversational interactions between students and natural English speakers. This intelligent virtual assistant is IBM Watson, also the Unity platform, the database development application SQLite will be used; with which an intelligent virtual assistant will be developed with focus on the improvement of the English language conversation for students. This process is minded in a simple method where the person interacts, listens and answers, then the machine takes what the person has said and looks for the intention within the sentence, for which there are predefined intentions in the assistant and according to the intentions that the assistant detects, it will give a response to what the user is saying. This project will be done with a hybrid methodology, which is a combination of some elements of the Scrum methodology and the Kanban methodology.
