An Intro to Gradient Descent in Javascript
Matt Dupree will walk through how gradient descent can be used to form predictions in a machine learning models.
Text and chat have become a very common means of interacting with companies, often via smart chat bots that can handle an array of customer service interactions. Underlying this, though, are a ton of complex technologies. In this free, virtual meetup, Dave Nugent of IBM will explore how to build one of these using JavaScript, Twilio and IBM’s Watson services for natural language processing.
Can you create an intelligent chatbot using sentiment analysis and live messaging? We’ll see how using IBM Watson and Twilio.
What is AI and Natural Language Understanding? How can I build an interactive chatbot? How can I link my chatbot to ML/NLU to make it intelligent? We’ll conclude with an interactive lab where you’ll be able to build your own intelligent chatbot based on our GitHub repo.
JavaScript developers, AI and language enthusiasts, and anyone who wants to know more about chatbots.
