Chatbots have become increasingly popular in the last years among both businesses and consumers. These conversational agents typ-ically use natural language understanding technologies for reformulating questions as queries to a knowledge base and answer the user according to the resulting information. This demo paper proposes a general soft-ware architecture for chatbots that can be employed for exploring large-scale knowledge graphs of scholarly data. It also introduces AIDA-Bot, a working prototype that implements this architecture and can answer queries about scientific publications, research topics, researchers, univer-sities, and conferences. In order to show the exibility of the proposed solution, we implemented two versions of AIDA-Bot which can run, re-spectively, on Alexa devices and web browsers.

Abstract
Chatbots have become increasingly popular in the last years among both businesses and consumers. These conversational agents typ-ically use natural language understanding technologies for reformulating questions as queries to a knowledge base and answer the user according to the resulting information. This demo paper proposes a general soft-ware architecture for chatbots that can be employed for exploring large-scale knowledge graphs of scholarly data. It also introduces AIDA-Bot, a working prototype that implements this architecture and can answer queries about scientific publications, research topics, researchers, univer-sities, and conferences. In order to show the exibility of the proposed solution, we implemented two versions of AIDA-Bot which can run, re-spectively, on Alexa devices and web browsers.
