Conclusion
- Conversational agents can be built for relatively small
domains.
- Conversational agents consist of three components, NLU,
middle, and NLG.
- The middle bit is ill-defined but requires, among other
things, the particular task that the agent does.
- Imagine two systems, one with a GUI, and one with a GUI
plus a conversational interface.
- Which would you rather have?
- Since we can build conversational systems, and they're in
demand, there should be a market for them.
- Is anyone interested in further exploration?
