The TWIML AI Podcast (formerly This Week in Machine Learning & Artificial Intelligence)
Natural Language Understanding for Amazon Alexa with Zornitsa Kozareva - TWiML Talk #30
29 Jun 2017
Our guest this week is Zornitsa Kozareva, Manager of Machine Learning with Amazon Web Services Deep Learning, where she leads a group focused on natural language processing and dialogue systems for products like Alexa and Lex, the latter of which we introduce in the podcast. We spend most of our time talking through the architecture of modern Natural Language Understanding systems, including the role of deep learning, and some of the various ways folks are working to overcome the challenges in this field, such as understanding human intent. If you’re interested in this field she mentions the AWS Chatbot Challenge, which you’ve still got a couple more weeks to participate in. The notes for this show can be found at twimlai.com/talk/30.
