The team also presented a demo of our virtual assistant prototype, which analyses collaborative decision discussions to identify alternatives and criteria. Development of this conversational analytics tool is part of a large body of research in natural language processing at IBM Research AI, a key factor in our mission to develop broad AI that learns across different disciplines to augment human intelligence. Natural language processing is a central component of IBM Project Debater, which debuted last week. Project Debater is the first AI system that can debate humans on complex topics and represents a big step toward mastering language, one of the great boundaries in AI.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Decision Science, AI and Natural Language Processing team at IBM Research-Ireland recently presented a conference paper called &#8220;Decision Conversations Decoded&#8221; at the 16th Annual Conference of the North American Chapter of the Association for Compu&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":0,"featured_media":615444,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-491657","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/spaceweekly.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/491657","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/spaceweekly.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/spaceweekly.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/spaceweekly.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=491657"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/spaceweekly.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/491657\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":491658,"href":"https:\/\/spaceweekly.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/491657\/revisions\/491658"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/spaceweekly.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/615444"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/spaceweekly.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=491657"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/spaceweekly.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=491657"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/spaceweekly.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=491657"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
