Challenge: FreeTalky is a deep learning-based foreign language learning platform for people who experience anxiety dealing with foreign languages.
Approach: They propose a deep learning-based foreign language learning platform called FreeTalky . it employs a humanoid robot NAO and various deep learning models .
Outcome: The proposed system provides personalized learning based on persona dialogue and grammar error correction, and also helps alleviate xenoglossophobia by replacing the real human in the conversation with a NAO robot, through human evaluation.
