Enquadramento
Today’s way to interact between a human and a computer system is changing. Computer systems are becoming more intelligent in the way they communicate with humans, with the latest developments in Natural Language Processing helping a lot the improvement of speech recognition and bot interaction. The days of having computer personal assistants has come, with Siri, Cortana and others. But the problem is that there are still areas more complex to be addressed, namely asking for data analysis to a personal assistant.
Objetivo
The main goal of this internship is to develop a chat bot capable of answering business questions that constitute data analysis requests. The chat bot has to deal with the English language and has to deal with business information like a personal assistant would do, answering with numbers, charts and tables accordingly. This goal can be subdivided in:
- Defining the Scope and Chat Bot Main Characteristics
- Creating the Technical Specification and Selecting the Development Platform
- Development of the Solution
- Testing and Benchmarking the Solution
The initial idea is to use a chat bot platform to speed up the development, allowing the student to focus on the data analysis part.
