Title An Empathic Agent that Alleviates Stress by Providing Support via Social Media
Abstract I am going to talk about what I have done so far in my PhD as well as the current status of my work. During my PhD research, I am developing an ‘artificial friend’, i.e., an intelligent agent that provides support via text messages in social media in order to alleviate the stress that users experience as a result of everyday problems. Currently, I am making an effort to put the bot to use text mining and machine learning via IBM Watson. The application is able to interact with users via the social network Telegram.
