As artificial intelligence develops, AI chatbot systems are actively taking place. For example, in public institutions, the use of chatbots is expanding to work assistance and professional knowledge services in civil complaints and administration, and private companies are using chatbots for interactive customer response services. In this study, we propose a scenario-based AI voice chatbot system to reduce museum operating costs and provide interactive guidance services to visitors. The implemented voice chatbot system consists of a watcher object that detects the user's voice by monitoring a specific directory in real-time, and an event handler object that outputs AI's response voice by performing inference by model sequentially when a voice file is created. And Including a function to prevent duplication using thread and a deque, GPU operations are not duplicated during inference in a single GPU environment.

Public institutions and governments develop discussions on the premise that they can facilitate smooth public communication with the socially vulnerable by promoting citizens' welfare by providing voice-based service chatbots to citizens. The purpose of the study is to propose a plan for intelligent governments to provide quick and efficient administrative services by efficiently managing knowledge and information within and outside government organizations based on ICT and facilitating access and use of information for citizens, especially vulnerable groups. This paper confirms that citizens' attitudes, perceptions, and expectations for public institutions ahead of voice-based service provision are positive through small surveys and interviews with experts with knowledge of artificial intelligence, discuss the technical aspects of voice-based services, the significance and necessity of public institutions. In addition, the government and public institutions are considering the implications of using and providing voice-based services. As a result, chatbot's voice-based service is of great significance in providing an opportunity and platform for wider citizens to participate in intelligent government, to strengthen information accessibility, guarantee and strengthen human rights and basic rights of the socially vulnerable.

최근 자연어 처리 기술에 대한 중요도가 높아지고, 발전 속도가 빨라지면서, 산업 전반에 걸쳐 챗봇에 대한 수요가 증가하고 있다. 본 논문은 챗봇을 이용한 소셜 매거진 생성 및 배포, 그리고 이를 활용하여 사용자에게 텍스트를 음성으로 변환하여 동영상의 형태로 전달해 주는 시스템을 다루고 있다. 챗봇이 사용자 대화를 수집, 분석하여 상황에 맞는 키워드를 추출하고, 중복 콘텐츠 제거, 텍스트 요약 등 일련의 과정을 거쳐 소셜 매거진을 생성 및 배포하는 서비스와, 매거진의 각 콘텐츠를 구성하는 이미지, 텍스트 정보를 가지고 음성 합성, 자막 생성, 영상 효과 등을 이용하여 영상을 합성하는 서비스에 관한 것이다. 본 논문에서 제안한 시스템에 대한 성능은 실험을 통하여 검증하였다.

With a recent rise of various chatbot services, this study attempts to explore the role of chatbot users'' psychological characteristics by applying the self-determination theory. In particular,this study investigates (a) the relationship between chatbot users' psychological needs(perceived autonomy, perceived competence, perceived relatedness) and user satisfaction, continuous intention to use, and (b) the moderating effect of chatbot type and user motivations. Based upon a survey, the results revealed that perceived autonomy, competence, and relatedness had significant positive effects on user satisfaction and continuous intention to use. The results also confirmed that the user satisfaction had a significant positive effect on the continuous intention to use. The moderating effect of social and relational motivation was found between perceived autonomy, competence, relatedness and user satisfaction. The implications are discussed for furthering the development of chatbot services.

A chatbot is a responsive chatting program that can communicate with people through text or voice. 'Siri' and 'Bixby' installed in smartphones are also representative artificial intelligences that use the chatbot system. With the rapid development of chatbots, users in various fields have also begun to pay attention to the food service industry. As machine learning technology developed, it became possible to use more flexible conversations, and it soon expanded to the realm of education. Userㄴs interact through conversations with chatbots, and active interactions stimulate users' desires and at the same time have a positive effect on learning motivation. Recommendation system programs using chatbots not only recommend products according to users' preferences, but also provide various additional information. This study planned a program that combined the chatbot system and tourism service. The chatbot curator will develop into a form of inducing interest and curiosity to users through learning, and then facilitating the desire for tourism. The purpose of this study is to lay the foundation for a chatbot curator based on previous studies.

Now that we are entering an aging society, the user interface for new devices and IoT technology is very inconvenient for senior generation. To improve this, we propose an AI technology-based intelligent senior assistant voice recognition system. This system implements Cloud platform based API to accumulate data for machine learning processing, provides content for diagnosis and prevention of dementia, and provide chat-bot content for senior generation. We hope that senior generations will increase the accessibility and convenience of IoT devices and new technology devices with our system.

Recently, chatbots have been applied in various fields and have shown good results, and many attempts to use chatbots in shopping mall product recommendation services are being conducted on e-commerce platforms. In this paper, for a conversation system that recommends a fashion that a user wants based on conversation between the user and the system and fashion image information, a transformer model that is currently performing well in various AI fields such as natural language processing, voice recognition, and image recognition. We propose a multimodal-based improved transformer model that is improved to increase the accuracy of recommendation by using dialogue (text) and fashion (image) information together for data preprocessing and data representation. We also propose a method to improve accuracy through data improvement by analyzing the data. The proposed system has a recommendation accuracy score of 0.6563 WKT (Weighted Kendall's tau), which significantly improved the existing system's 0.3372 WKT by 0.3191 WKT or more.
