Abstract

In this thesis, the creation and effectiveness of a chatbot called the Four Winds Chatbot is overviewed. A chatbot is an application that can identify, classify, and answer human text accurately. We designed a chatbot to respond to student questions about the New College of Florida. Machine Learning principles such as Naive Bayes and Decision Trees were researched and used throughout this study. To evaluate the effectiveness of our chatbot it was compared to the New College’s Official Mighty Banyan chatbot where it was discussed its abilities to answer questions compared to the Four Winds chatbot created here.
