Abstract
Microblogging platforms can provide novel, attractive opportunities for communicating and disseminating content about important events from the past. We propose a novel framework for building interactive chatbot systems that post history-related content including automatic quizzes related to current temporal context and that take and assess user responses. The chatbot is currently available on Twitter sharing history-related quizzes in English (The code, quiz data and evaluation results are available at https://github.com/sumilab/programs/tree/master/histo_chatbot_quiz.). We are the first to propose guidelines for designing history-focused chatbot systems that aim at fulfilling educational and entertaining objectives in microblogging platforms.

We assume here that the HistoChatbot Developer denotes a real user.

In the future, we plan to apply named entity recognition tools to allow users to write arbitrary texts.
