Information retrieval chatbots are widely used as assistants, to help users formulate their requirements about the products they want to purchase, and navigate to the set of items that satisfies their requirements in the best way.

We propose a novel way of conversational recommendation, where instead of asking questions to the user to acquire their preferences; the recommender tracks their conversation with other people, including customer support agents (CSA), and joins the conversation only when it is time to introduce a recommendation.

Machine reading comprehension (MRC) is one of the most challenging tasks in natural language processing domain.

We address both of these flaws: they are independent but can be combined to generate original texts that will be both consistent and truthful.

We define extended discourse trees, introduce means to manipulate with them, and outline scenarios of multi-document navigation to extend the abilities of the interactive information retrieval-based chat bot.

We explore anatomy of answers with respect to which text fragments from an answer are worth matching with a question and which should not be matched.

We present a chatbot that delivers content in the form of virtual dialogues automatically produced from the plain texts that are extracted and selected from the documents.

We demo a chatbot that delivers content in the form of virtual dialogues automatically produced from plain texts extracted and selected from documents.

We introduce a concept of a virtual discourse tree to improve question answering (Q/A) recall for complex, multi-sentence questions.

In this section we propose a reasoning-based approach to a dialogue management for a customer support chat bot.

The system achieves rhetoric agreement by learning pairs of discourse trees (DTs) for question (Q) and answer (A).

We then combine DTs for the paragraphs of documents to form what we call extended DT, which is a basis for interactive content exploration facilitated by the chat bot.

This tool imitates the process of essay writing by humans: searching for topics on the web, selecting content frag-ments from the found document, and then compiling these fragments to obtain a coherent text.
