SF Meetup with Rasa Co-founder & CTO Alan Nichol

Join us in our new San Francisco office at Bespoke Coworking (located on the 4th floor of Westfield San Francisco Centre).

Our Co-founder and CTO, Alan Nichol will talk about the role that transformer-based architectures play in the state-of-the-art models for dialogue and language understanding. He will cover the dialogue transformer as well as some yet-unpublished results on joint intent and entity prediction with a new neural architecture.

Mady Mantha, Product Evangelist at Rasa will outline a maturity model for contextual assistants, describe how to grow from a simple chatbot that can answer FAQs to a contextual assistant that can engage in a flexible back-and-forth dialogue, and why that’s important for mission critical conversational AI. She’ll briefly talk about how to measure your assistant’s performance, and some practical use cases where conversational AI can help enterprises automate repeatable processes and meet business outcomes.

Food, beer, and wine are on us!
