APABOT: Open-source ParlAI chatbot prototype for autism spectrum conversation practice
AryHHAry · x · 2026-09-17
APABOT is an open-source prototype chatbot for autism spectrum (ASD) conversation practice, built on ParlAI with the blender90M pretrained model and fine-tuned on empathetic dialogue datasets, with safety checks and demo fallback modes. It runs locally via Streamlit with no cloud dependency; the repo includes training scripts, a CLI chat interface, and the underlying paper. The author stresses it lacks clinical validation and ethical clearance and cannot replace professional therapy—the release is meant to invite research collaboration.
