What you'll learn

  • Explore practical systems for building a conversational AI system for task-oriented queries

Description

Sonal Gupta explores practical systems for building a conversational AI system for task-oriented queries and details a way to do more advanced compositional understanding, which can understand cross-domain queries, using hierarchical representations. Along the way, Sonal discusses a few parsers, such as transition-based parsers and sequence-to-sequence models, that can be used for compositional understanding (implemented in PyTorch).
