This event is co-hosted with the NY Natural Language Processing Meetup & Evening with a Data Scientist.

About the Talk:

In 2016, 25% of web searches on Android were made by voice & this percentage is predicted to double by 2018. From Amazon Alexa to Google Home, smartwatches & in-car systems, touch is no longer the primary user interface.

This talk highlights how graph databases help the creation of complex human computer interaction interfaces solving non-trivial tasks such as understanding user intents, keeping an accurate context aware representation of a user interaction & how to guide them in a domain specific knowledge base.
