Conversational Aqqu (project and/or thesis)

Type

Project and/or thesis, preferably with the thesis building on a project. You will be working with a relatively large existing codebase making for a very real-world like project.

Background info

Our Question Answering (QA) system Aqqu available online as well as via Telegram currently treats every question as self-contained and isolated.

Especially on a conversation based interface like Telegram this feels quite unnatural, for example instead of being able to have the following conversation:

User: Where was Albert Einstein born?

AqquBot: Albert Einstein, place of birth: Ulm

User: And where did he die?

AqquBot: Albert Einstein, place of death: Princeton

The second question has to repeat the name to work e.g. asking "And where did Albert Einstein die?"
