abstract = "The application of natural language to improve students’ interaction with information systems is demonstrated to be beneficial. In particular, advances in cognitive computing enable a new way of interaction that accelerates insight from existing information sources, thereby contributing to the process of learning. This work aims at researching the application of cognitive computing in blended learning environments. We propose a modular cognitive agent architecture for pedagogical question answering, featuring social dialogue (small talk), improved for a specific knowledge domain. This system has been implemented as a personal agent to assist students in learning Data Science and Machine Learning techniques. Its implementation includes the training of machine learning models and natural language understanding algorithms in a human-like interface. The effectiveness of the system has been validated through an experiment.",
