Paper Title
Learning Interface For E-Learning
Abstract
This system is an artificial intelligence entity, with the power of natural language processing, as a virtual
teacherfor learning and assessment of statistical inference, available through the Internet for student use.It has a logical
reasoning engine and uses two knowledge bases, one for statistical inference and the other for rules of Englishgrammar and
general knowledge to facilitate learning. Thesystem is called Learning Interface for E-Learning (LIEL). It provides lessons
in inferential statistics. The user can ask questions in English and have a dialogue with virtualteacher. The system answers
the questions or asks forclarification regarding what is required from it. It searches its knowledge bases(KB), uses its first
order predicate logicreasoning engine and converses with the student using itsNatural Language Processing (NLP) sub-
system. It is aimed to provide a multimedia experience. The system uses the following programming languages for
itsdifferent functions: AIML for knowledge base, Prolog forreasoning, HTML and Java script for web client, Java for web
server and AIML interpreter and Linux shell script forcommunication.This system has potential applicationsoutside
academicenvironment such as web-based online marketing and helpdesk diagnostics in different sectors and can be used as
assistantlecturer for other courses and subjects by changing itsknowledge-base.
