Popis: Providing conversational interfaces to IT services enable more people to access them conveniently. For maximum benefit, such interfaces need to be in the native language of the users in a community. Popularly known as chatbots, one of their critical tasks is to accurately identify the user's intention from their natural language input. This paper describes an attempt at improving this accuracy in an implementation based on the open source RASA stack, by using Sinhala word embeddings. This approach shows improvement in both intent detection as well as the confidence in the detected intents.
