Conversational AI : Open Domain Question Answering and Commonsense Reasoning

Our research is focused on making a human-like question answering system which can answer rationally. The distinguishing characteristic of our approach is that it will use automated common sense reasoning to truly ``understand'' dialogues, allowing it to converse like a human. Humans often make many assumptions during conversations. We infer facts not told explicitly by using our common sense. Incorporating commonsense knowledge in a question answering system will simply make it more robust.
