Hi everyone,
Thanks so much to those of you who came to our Computational Linguistics
event this past Tuesday! You may be interested to hear the following news
from the speaker that day, Prof. Derry Wijaya:
"Hi everyone,
I want to let you know about the talk on "Building and Evaluating
Conversational Agents" that we are having on Monday 11-12 at Hariri during
our usual AI Research Meeting:
https://www.bu.edu/hic/2018/11/28/air-joao-sedoc/. I thought the talk can
be interesting and relevant for some, given the pervasiveness of
conversational agents nowadays: Siri, Alexa, Google Home, etc; and also the
yearly Amazon Alexa Challenge.
The talk is by Joao Sedoc <https://sites.google.com/site/jsedoc/> a PhD
student at University of Pennsylvania whom I met while I was doing a
Postdoc there. He has been working on this area of building conversational
agents for his PhD thesis, and he taught a seminar class at Penn on
building these conversational agents, using Alexa as a testbed for
deploying the agents (very cool). If you are interested to meet with him
after his talk, I have created his schedule here:

Thanks!
Derry"
