초록

This paper presents a research and development project to develop a chatbot for Tokkijeon in gamification format based on the convergence of a classical novel and computing thinking. A chatbot prototype for Tokkijeon was developed in a puzzle form with the endings of different Tokkijeon versions incorporated into the hierarchical tree structure of a chatbot. Given the technical difficulties of making a chatbot in the natural language processing method preferred by humanities majors, “Danbee”, an open source chatbot platform, was used to develop a prototype and ensure the smooth convergence of humanities and computing thinking. The Tokkijeon chatbot underwent the conception, design, and making stages, and the product was made public on the Danbee chatbot platform (https://bit.ly/2OmGtNm). The conception stage saw the selection of the puzzle form to stimulate the interest of users and promote their easy participation in a chatbot. At the design stage, the Tokkijeon text was divided into independent events based on the reorganization of events that could be the diverging points of the narrative. Based on these events, the text was restructured into a tree structure suitable for a chatbot algorithm. At the making stage, the items set at the conception and design stages were realized on the Danbee chatbot platform. The present study is significant as the first step in attempting the fusion of a classical novel and computing thinking. If the study leads to a virtuous cyclic system, in which a database of classical novels is built suitable for an algorithm using a stepwise approach of computing thinking that allows users to become makers, make a chatbot based on their understanding, and create Big Data, the eventual development of a classical novel chatbot will be viable.
