Last week I made a presentation at the [[https://www.meetup.com/Paris-NLP/][Paris NLP Meetup]], on how we
|
|
implemented self-learning chatbots in production at Mindsay.
|
|
|
|
It was fascinating to other people interested in NLP about the
|
|
technologies and models we deploy at work! It's always nice to have
|
|
some feedback about our work, and preparing this talk forced me to
|
|
take a step back about what we do and rethink it in new interesting
|
|
ways.
|
|
|
|
Also check out the [[https://nlpparis.wordpress.com/2019/03/29/paris-nlp-season-3-meetup-4-at-meilleursagents/][other presentations]], one about diachronic
|
|
(i.e. time-dependent) word embeddings and the other about the
|
|
different models and the use of Knowledge Bases for Information
|
|
Retrieval. (This might even give us new ideas to explore...)
|
|
|
|
If you're interested about exciting applications at the confluence of
|
|
Reinforcement Learning and NLP, the slides are available [[https://drive.google.com/file/d/1aS1NpPxRzsQCsAqoQIVZrdf8R1Y2VKrT/view][here]]. It
|
|
includes basic RL theory, how we transposed it to the specific case of
|
|
conversational agents, the technical and mathematical challenges in
|
|
implementing self-learning chatbots, and of course plenty of
|
|
references for further reading if we piqued your interest!

**Update:** The videos are now available on the [[https://nlpparis.wordpress.com/2019/03/29/paris-nlp-season-3-meetup-4-at-meilleursagents/][NLP Meetup website]].
