And they realized that it&#8217;s pretty difficult to actually build something that you can take to production and build in a meaningful way. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\" eplus-xkN0Yc\">With <span style=\"user-select: auto;\" id=\"urn:enhancement-13998a71\" class=\"textannotation disambiguated wl-thing\" itemid=\"http:\/\/data.wordlift.io\/wl01770\/entity\/chatterbot\">chatbots<\/span> in 2016, when you ask a question its ok, but when you asked a followup question it immediately failed. Since then there have been a lot of advances in <span style=\"user-select: auto;\" id=\"urn:enhancement-3d95259c\" class=\"textannotation disambiguated wl-thing\" itemid=\"http:\/\/data.wordlift.io\/wl01770\/entity\/natural_language_processing\">natural language processing<\/span>,\u00a0 particularly where context is important in language. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\" eplus-BHIZVK\">When I say something like, &#8216;the animal crossed the street because it was too wide&#8217; it needs to determine whether width is in reference to the animal or the street.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\" eplus-HVJqDT\">Food ordered <span style=\"user-select: auto;\" id=\"urn:enhancement-4ad801c1\" class=\"textannotation disambiguated wl-thing\" itemid=\"http:\/\/data.wordlift.io\/wl01770\/entity\/artificial_intelligence\">AI<\/span> has similar challenges: &#8220;If I say,\u00a0 I&#8217;m hungry, I want to order some food. Then the <span style=\"user-select: auto;\" id=\"urn:enhancement-5be32919\" class=\"textannotation disambiguated wl-thing\" itemid=\"http:\/\/data.wordlift.io\/wl01770\/entity\/chatterbot\">chatbot<\/span> says, Yeah, sure, what are you looking for, or whatever. And then you say, I&#8217;m in the mood for sushi. Like it has to maintain that context, right? <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\" eplus-uKm4DQ\">And I&#8217;m just gonna be talking about restaurants and food and whatnot. So we started trying to use <span style=\"user-select: auto;\" id=\"urn:enhancement-337e7227\" class=\"textannotation disambiguated wl-thing\" itemid=\"http:\/\/data.wordlift.io\/wl01770\/entity\/natural_language_processing\">natural language processing<\/span> to solve the problem of context and to solve the problem of negation. For example, you say something like, I would kill to have some sushi right now, the negation is tricky and a chatbot is not going to understand that.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\" eplus-36JgIi\">Thus, Rasa is fpcusing right now on making multi-turn natural-sounding conversations work really well in production, and drive actual business outcomes, for <span style=\"user-select: auto;\" id=\"urn:enhancement-394ad756\" class=\"textannotation disambiguated wl-thing\" itemid=\"http:\/\/data.wordlift.io\/wl01770\/entity\/company\">companies<\/span> that are looking to automate conversations. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\" eplus-zOVRsQ\">&#8220;We&#8217;re trying to focus on getting things to work in production.

I think that&#8217;s where we&#8217;re kind of seeing the <span style=\"user-select: auto;\" id=\"urn:enhancement-1de62b57\" class=\"textannotation disambiguated wl-thing\" itemid=\"http:\/\/data.wordlift.io\/wl01770\/entity\/industry\">industry<\/span> headed.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"eplus-Bh8M8n wp-block-heading\">How is conversational AI evolving to include multilingual chatbots?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\" eplus-xqT1UK\">Rasa has a global <span style=\"user-select: auto;\" id=\"urn:enhancement-3f73508f\" class=\"textannotation disambiguated wl-thing\" itemid=\"http:\/\/data.wordlift.io\/wl01770\/entity\/community\">community<\/span>, which is huge in <span style=\"user-select: auto;\" id=\"urn:enhancement-ee8cbec5\" class=\"textannotation disambiguated wl-thing\" itemid=\"http:\/\/data.wordlift.io\/wl01770\/entity\/europe\">Europe<\/span> and India. Mady detailed &#8221; In <span style=\"user-select: auto;\" id=\"urn:enhancement-b90ab385\" class=\"textannotation disambiguated wl-thing\" itemid=\"http:\/\/data.wordlift.io\/wl01770\/entity\/europe\">Europe<\/span>, we have a lot of folks developers trying to create chatbots in German, French and Spanish. In India, we have lots of bots being developed in lots of Indian languages, and not just Hindi or Marathi, but like lots of other languages as well. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\" eplus-6z0W65\">So Raja framework supports multilingual assistance. And we wanted to do that because our <span style=\"user-select: auto;\" id=\"urn:enhancement-5373d67c\" class=\"textannotation disambiguated wl-thing\" itemid=\"http:\/\/data.wordlift.io\/wl01770\/entity\/community\">communities<\/span> are live. We also want to be super-inclusive, to empower citizen developers. Not just European languages in English. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\" eplus-OCB1FF\">So that was a conscious decision that we made. And in our forum, if you check it out, you&#8217;ll see that there are lots of developers working on the language models, and they&#8217;ll be like, &#8216;oh, here&#8217;s my language model. You know, I&#8217;ve also decided to make this open-source, if you want, give it a go.&#8217; <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\" eplus-rg0yhx\">And so that has been really helpful because, you know, other people wanting to go chatbots in Hindi can make use of that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\" eplus-Q9R2by\">This is also incredibly relevant during <span style=\"user-select: auto;\" id=\"urn:local-annotation-818108\" class=\"textannotation disambiguated\" itemid=\"http:\/\/data.wordlift.io\/wl01770\/entity\/covid-19\">COVID-19<\/span> where one of Rasa&#8217;s users is the World Health Organisation which uses Rasa under the hood. &#8220;The WHO chatbot is used by 50 million users. from Arabic to Spanish to Swahili and other languages as well. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\" eplus-apnUVP\">And so now we&#8217;re able to support the development of COVID-19 bots to disseminate information in like a timely way. that&#8217;s also accurate. So\u00a0 I think the industry is moving towards making multilingual chatbots. more common.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\" eplus-quEV4e\">If you want to know more about how modern technologies and tools can support you for &#8211; and during &#8211; the organisation of a virtual event, don&#8217;t miss this article showcasing the best tools we used to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.codemotion.com\/magazine\/articles\/events\/planning-virtual-conference\/\">host our online conferences<\/a> since the COVID-19 outbreak.<\/p>\n\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>If you&#8217;re looking for a very accessible entry into the why&#8217;s and how&#8217;s of AI, conversational AI is a great starting point.
