Tuesday 10.09: Machine Learning with METRONOM

Topic | Machine Learning

Machine learning is the scientific study of algorithms and statistical models that computer systems use in order to perform a specific task effectively without using explicit instructions, relying on patterns and inference instead. It is seen as a subset of artificial intelligence. Machine learning algorithms build a mathematical model based on sample data, known as "training data", in order to make predictions or decisions without being explicitly programmed to perform the task."

Friday 13.09: Chat bots & Voice Assistance Technology with FlixMobility

Topic | Chatbots & Voice Assistance

"The big difference between a messenger chatbot vs virtual assistant or voice chatbot is how we interact with them. A text-based messenger chatbot exists on one or more messaging platforms, including both SMS and web-based messengers. This means users primarily interact with them on a screen via text or button presses. A user interacts with a voice enabled chatbot differently: they converse with such a bot via their voice in natural language. The voice chatbot then answers back using pre-recorded messages, text-to-speech responses or a mixture of both."
