Talk 1 - Dan Moldovan, Professor at UT, Dallas and CEO at Lymba

At the heart of building a bot or dialogue tool lies the need to understand a customer's intent and the ability to provide the precise information to solve their problem. Only so many questions can be pre-scripted with answers. When properly leveraged, Natural Language Processing (NLP) can build these core capabilities of question-answering and natural language understanding on top of which bots, customer service systems, and conversational dialogue applications can be built.

Different business use cases have different requirements and approaches. We'll cover how they can vary from research to call center applications.
