There is a happy news for students of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (EEE) from the team of IIT-Guwahati (IIT-G). The team has come out with artificial intelligence enabled chatbot ‘Albela’ to teach and support  first year EEE students. 

What does Albela do? It provides round-the-clock support to students of IIT-G by providing artificial intelligence (AI) tutors. It will also have smart content and personalised learning at new efficiencies, so that the teacher to student ratio will no longer be a limiting factor.

 

Artificial Intelligence Chatbot is projected to be a suitable mechanism also capable of addressing the queries and doubts that each of the approximately 850 students pursuing EEE at the institute may have. 

Professor Praveen Kumar,  Department of EEE, IIT Guwahati, said they have been working on its development since last 7 months with a team of seven dedicated research scholars of the department. 

Earlier we did the trial runs of the Chabot, 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 in near future. Professor Rohit Sinha, head, EEE department and the team IBM have extended their continuous support for this activity, he said.
