Web interface, dialog system, domain adaptation
Petr Marek
Web interface
Nobody want’s to use personal assistant via command line.
How can we easily improve web client?
By “Concept selecting”
Sometimes YodaQA cannot decide between many concepts. Many time it is not his fault.
And after small help...
Dialog system
Make YodaQA better for lazy people!
Why dialogs?
Sometimes we want to ask several question in the row.
Questions in many times relates to each other.
YodaQA don’t handles this.
We would like this to work, however we also want clean YodaQA.
We chose different approach.
Hub?
We created Hub.
Hub is preprocessor of YodaQA questions.
YodaQA
Client
Hub
What can Hub do?
Dialogs
Coreference resolution
And much more will come!
Dialogs!
Several questions in one row
Coreference resolution!
Understanding that one question somehow concerns the previous one.
We detect third person pronouns (he, she, her, they...) in question.
Than we use concepts and best answer from previous questions.
Coreference resolution!
What more?

Hub
News?
Traffic Info?
Weather?
Domain adaptation
Teaching YodaQA new tricks.
How can YodaQA help drivers?
You need to know what route to take.
You know the paths. You just need actual traffic info to help you decide what route to take.
However it is dumb to use GPS navigation on your daily route to work.
What route should I take?
“Should I go through Kolbenova or Poděbradská?”
The plan is to create traffic assistant.
Technical info?
We use Here API to get information about traffic.
Traffic flow...
Traffic accidents...
Route planning...
Geocoding...
Demo?
You can ask YodaQA about traffic flow and traffic incidents in Prague streets. *
Still a lot of work to do.

Simple test
To realize how great the YodaQA is
Who wrote the Ender’s game?

Microsoft’s Cortana

Sorry, I don’t get it.
“Who wrote Ender’s game?”
“Where was he born?”
Apple’s Siri

“Where was he born?”
Our YodaQA
100%
YodaQA is way more better than Cortana, Alexa or Siri. *
*One day it will be...
