Presentation: Lessons Developing Conversational AI Interfaces
Abstract
This talk will cover building conversational AI using deep learning technologies and lessons learnt in developing conversational interfaces. The first part of the talk will describe recent advances in deep learning that has led to tremendous progress in natural language processing and is making conversational AI a reality. Conversational AI includes intent classification, sequence labeling, understanding dialogs and context, and coming up with responses to users messages. The second part of the talk will address lessons learned developing conversational interfaces. A conversational interface needs to be personable in addressing, adaptive in understanding, and available with many different supported tasks. Overall, key take aways from the talk will be better understanding of (1) deep learning techniques for natural language processing and (2) interaction patterns for building a good conversational interface.
