Dialog Systems
Dialog systems, also known as conversational agents or chatbots, are computer systems designed to engage in natural language conversations with humans. They process user inputs (typically text or speech), interpret intent, and generate appropriate responses to simulate human-like dialogue. These systems are widely used in customer service, virtual assistants, and interactive applications to automate communication tasks.
Developers should learn about dialog systems when building applications that require automated, scalable human-computer interaction, such as customer support bots, voice assistants like Siri or Alexa, or interactive gaming interfaces. They are essential for creating user-friendly experiences in domains like e-commerce, healthcare, and education, where real-time, context-aware conversations can enhance engagement and efficiency.
