TITLEOur Future Life - Conversational AI (我們的未來 - 對話式人工智慧)

ABSTRACT The current human-machine interactions still differ from human-human interactions, because machines have difficulty fully understanding natural language due to diversity of language expression, lack of human commonsense, and lack of environmental contexts. This talk provides an overview of conversational AI systems and summarizes the current challenges and potential directions towards better conversational AI.
