Conversational AI technologies are becoming ubiquitous, with countless products taking advantage of automatic speech recognition, natural language understanding, and speech synthesis coming to market. Thanks to new tools and technologies, developing conversational AI applications is easier than ever, enabling a much broader range of applications, such as virtual assistants, real-time transcription, and many more. The talk will be composed of two parts. We'll start with an overview of the conversational AI landscape and discuss how any organization can start developing conversational AI applications today. Then we'll demonstrate how to build and deploy end-to-end conversational AI pipelines using NVIDIA Riva.
