Infos

This book introduces the new paradigm of lifelong and continual learning dialogue systems to endow dialogue systems with the ability to learn continually by themselves through their own self-initiated interactions with their users and the working environments. The authors present the latest developments and techniques for building such continual learning dialogue systems.  The book explains how these developments allow systems to continuously learn new language expressions,   lexical and factual knowledge, and conversational skills through interactions and dialogues.  Additionally, the book covers techniques to acquire new training examples for learning new tasks during the conversation. The book also reviews existing work on lifelong learning and discusses areas for future research. 

Sahisnu Mazumder is an AI Research Scientist at Intel Labs, USA, where he works on human-AI collaboration and dialogue and interactive systems research. He obtained his Ph.D. in Computer Science at the University of Illinois at Chicago, USA, and his Masters in Computer Science from the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT), Roorkee, India. His research interests include lifelong and continual learning, dialogue and interactive systems, open-world AI and learning, knowledge base reasoning, and sentiment analysis.  He has published several research papers in these areas in leading AI, NLP and Dialogue conferences and given two tutorial talks on this book topic.  During his Ph.D,, he also worked as a Research Intern at Microsoft Research Redmond and Huawei Research USA on virtual AI Assistants.
