Abstract

People are spending a lot of time on messaging and voice conversational mediums such as Facebook Messenger and Amazon Alexa, which have opened up for building bots. These bots are allowing services and businesses to connect with users on these conversational interfaces. Conversational bots requires natural language processing, extracting relevant information, understanding context, and coming up with responses to users messages. Recent advances in deep learning has led to tremendous progress in natural language processing and is making conversational AI a reality. This talk will describe how to build a conversational bot, use deep learning for natural language processing, and deploy it on a conversational platform.
