WORKSHOP:
Building Intelligent Assistants & ChatbotsTuesday, December 4
Speech recognition and Natural Language Processing technology today allows interacting with digital systems using human language in text or speech. A company can use the technology to improve customer service, not only in the call center, but through chatbots on web sites, apps on mobile phones, messaging services, home speakers, through the major personal assistants, and more. The technology can also make employees more effective within organizations in tasks such as using enterprise software or on-the-job training. This session discusses tools available to help develop
conversational solutions and practices that make those solutions effective.
Topics addressed include:• Topics addressed include: • What are intelligent assistants and how “smart” are
they? • What’s the underlying technology • How available tools reduce the need to understand
underlying technology • How available tools reduce the need for “big data” • Picking applications and achievable goals • Differing levels of involvement with core technology

SEMINAR:
Building AI-powered Natural Language SolutionsWednesday, December 5
Computers dealing with human language are one of the major breakthroughs in AI. With similar advances in speech recognition, natural language processing technology can accept either voice or text input. The result is understanding. That understanding can be used in conversational systems such as virtual agents, digital assistants, and chatbots, conversing with customers or employees through many channels. In addition, the technology can help analyze “big data,” summarizing its conclusionsorfindinganswerstospecificquestions.
Sessions in this track include: • Building AI-powered Natural Language Solutions • Case Studies in Using Conversational Technology • State of the Technology: AI-driven Speech Recognition and NLP
Chairperson: William Meisel, PhD, CEO, TMA Associates
Interpreting Human Language: The Power and Limits of Natural Language TechnologyWilliam Meisel, PhD, CEO, TMA Associates
PANEL: Automating Customer Service and Technical Support in Call CentersCustomers calling for service or technical support have long been frustrated by what seems like an unending series of prompts in an automated system. Today, advances in speech recognition and natural language processing (NLP) technology allow a customer to simply state why they are calling and get an answer or be transferred to an appropriate agent. There are alternatives that allow providing an automated NLP option for customer service to be seamless and effective.Attendees will learn:• AI-driven approaches to customer service • Deploying a natural language IVR • Best practices for an effective solution Panelist: Lisa Michaud, Director of Natural Language Processing (NLP) R&D, Aspect Software
