Final Year Project

Project Title

Transformer-based Urdu Chatbot

Description

Our proposed solution is a Flutter application integrated with a transformer model to answer queries about menstruation, menstrual health and hygiene, and social taboos. The target audience is women and young girls in rural Pakistan who do not have access to this knowledge. Traditional health-seeking behavior, particularly for menstrual health, is strongly influenced by sociocultural and religious factors. This can have damaging effects on the physiological and mental well-being of women in Pakistan, highlighting a dire need for a solution. We propose a generative, domain-specific, multi-turn chatbot - the first of its kind - to provide females in urban areas of South Asia's developing countries with information regarding their menstrual health.
