Study Notes
Virtual Assistants
- Virtual Assistants are AI-powered and capable of learning user preferences and habits over time.
- They can understand natural language, recognize faces, identify objects, and communicate with other smart devices and software.
- Virtual Assistants are commonly found in mobile devices, such as iPhones with Siri.
- They can be used to control devices and handle tasks like sending emails and creating to-do lists.
- Virtual Assistants are often controlled by giving verbal commands.
- Popular examples include IBM Watson, Google Assistant, Cortana, Alexa, and Siri.
Chatbots and Virtual Assistants
- Virtual Assistants are more advanced than chatbots in their ability to interact.
- Virtual Assistants can understand the semantics of commands, perceive moods and emotions, and hold longer, more coherent conversations.
- Virtual Assistants can handle complicated tasks, such as finding navigation routes and making restaurant reservations.
Chatbot Design Process
- The first step in designing a chatbot is understanding its scope, requirements, and limitations.
- The second step is identifying user input, such as text, voice, or image queries.
- The third step involves understanding different user interface elements, such as command line, graphical user interface, menu-driven interface, form-based interface, and natural language interface.
- The next step is crafting the first interaction and building a conversation flow.
- The final step is testing the chatbot on mobile devices and websites.
Chatbot Architecture
-
Intent: Represents the user's intention.
- Example: The intent of "Good Bye" is to end the conversation.
- The intent of "What are some good Chinese restaurants" is to find a restaurant.
-
Entity: Modifies an intent.
- There are three types: system entity, developer entity, and session entity.
- Candidate Response Generator: Processes user requests using algorithms and generates candidate responses.
- Response Selector: Selects the most appropriate response based on user queries.
Best Practices of Chatbot Development
- Identify the target audience and understand their needs.
- Set realistic goals for chatbot implementation.
- Determine which business areas will benefit most from the chatbot.
- Select the right user platform for the chatbot.
- Improve the usability and reachability of the chatbot.
Natural Language Processing (NLP)
- NLP allows computers to understand text and spoken words like humans.
- It enables chatbots to convert user text and speech into structured data that machines can understand.
NLP Steps
- Tokenization: Splits sentences into smaller parts (tokens) based on meaning.
- Normalization: Checks word types and converts them to a standard form.
- Entity Recognition: Identifies keywords to determine the conversation's topic.
- Semantic Analysis: Infers the meaning of a sentence by understanding the meaning of words and their relationships.
NLP Cloud
- NLP Cloud API enables developers to interact with NLP models, including pre-made models for named entity recognition, classification, summarization, question answering, sentiment analysis, and part of speech tagging.
- Pre-made models include spaCY.io models in 15 languages, Facebook's Bart Large MNLI/CNN models, and Deepset's Roberta Base Squad 2 model.
- NLP Cloud helps lower the barriers for developers creating apps for tasks like sorting support tickets, extracting leads, analyzing social networks, and developing economic intelligence tools.
Natural Language Interface (NLI)
- Provides an abstract layer between humans and computers, allowing them to understand human language instead of the other way around.
- Allows users to enter natural language search queries in written or spoken text.
Natural Language Understanding (NLU)
- A subfield of NLP that focuses on understanding the meaning of human speech by recognizing patterns in unstructured speech input.
- Has three components:
- Dictionary: Determines the meaning of words.
- Parser: Checks if the syntax of the text conforms to language rules.
- Grammar Rules: Breakdown input based on sentence structure and punctuation.
Natural Language Generation (NLG)
- Transforms machine-produced structured data into human-readable text.
- Steps in NLG:
- Content Determination: Filtering data to choose what to include in the response.
- Data Interpretation: Understanding patterns and answers in the knowledge base.
- Document Planning: Structuring the answer in a narrative manner.
- Sentence Aggregation: Compiling expressions and words for each sentence.
- Grammaticalization: Applying grammar rules, punctuations, and spell check.
- Language Implementation: Inputting data into language templates for natural representation.
Why Do Chatbots Need NLP?
- NLP allows chatbots to understand user messages and respond appropriately.
- It provides context and meaning to text-based user inputs, enabling AI to generate the best response.
