The identities of bots: A learning architecture for conversational software

December 4, 2019

The recent explosion of bots on communication platforms has rekindled the hopes of conversational AI. However, building intelligent and customizable bots is not just bottlenecked by NLP and speech recognition. Our biggest limitation is the inability to modularize the goals of human bot interconnection. Suman Roy explains why we need a layered architecture for bots to learn about us from data.

November 20, 2019

With the rise of deep learning, natural language understanding techniques are becoming more effective and are not as reliant on costly annotated data. This leads to an explosion of possibilities of what businesses can do with language. Alyona Medelyan explains what the newest NLU tools can achieve today and presents their common use cases.

Can deep neural networks save your neural network? Artificial intelligence, sensors, and strokes

October 26, 2019

Each year, 15 million people suffer strokes, and at least a fifth of those are due to atrial fibrillation, the most common heart arrhythmia. Brandon Ballinger reports on a collaboration between UCSF cardiologists and ex-Google data scientists that detects atrial fibrillation with deep learning.

We are entering a new computing paradigman era where software will write software. This is the biggest and fastest transition since the advent of the Internet. Big data and analytics brought us information and insight; AI and deep learning turn that insight into superhuman knowledge and real-time action. Jim McHugh shares real-world examples of companies solving problems once thought unsolvable.

Software engineering of systems that learn in uncertain domains

Building reliable, robust software is hard. It is even harder when we move from deterministic domains (such as balancing a checkbook) to uncertain domains (such as recognizing speech or objects in an image). The field of machine learning allows us to use data to build systems in these uncertain domains. Peter Norvig looks at techniques for achieving reliability (and some of the other -ilities).
