Hi all,

Title: AI-Powered Immigration Chatbot
About: Immigration Law refers to government policies which regulate the right of entry, and residency right in each country. Immigration Law absorbs features from other closely related areas of law, including Administrative Law, Constitutional Law, Criminal Law, Tax Law etc. The Immigration Process refers to a set oa steps an individual should take in order to obtain a legal status under Immigration Law. Botler is a Chatbot which automates Immigration Process. From a system perspective, the immigration process can be modeled as a two steps process: Eligibility Assessment, and Application Packaging. Botler models Eligibility Assessment as a rule-based system initiative dialogue using a finite-state dialogue manager which is modeled as a graph of action rules. Application Packaging is a three step process: document authenticity, document relevance, and packaging. Document authenticity is modeled using a CNN for image object recognition. Document relevance is modeled using an OCR for content extraction, and a text processing module to determine content relevancy. Packaging is a two step process, filling out required forms, and creating a map of required documents to the actual documents provided by the user. Botlers’ dataset contains the largest Canadian immigration forum, tens of thousands of conversations in the form of email threads between human legal agents and users, more than five millions of Canadian immigration case eligibility assessment results, and thousands of Immigration Law related documents.
