Building Duo System Interactive Knowledge Base

FY 2024-25 · 2024-05-01

Summary
The core deliverable of this project is to select, test, train and deploy a working artificial intelligence natural language processing model that can be purpose fit for a variety of niche topics and related expertise. Current conversational AI models, although very powerful, are generalized and lack the specificity and voice of an expert or expert resources present in a given industry. A first step to recreating these expert voices is selecting a general model that can be purpose built and trained on corpus, vocabulary, and text related to a specific niche quickly.

Description
The core deliverable of this project is to select, test, train and deploy a working artificial intelligence natural language processing model that can be purpose fit for a variety of niche topics and related expertise. Current conversational AI models, although very powerful, are generalized and lack the specificity and voice of an expert or expert resources present in a given industry. A first step to recreating these expert voices is selecting a general model that can be purpose built and trained on corpus, vocabulary, and text related to a specific niche quickly.
Description (French)
L’objectif principal de ce projet est de sélectionner, tester, former et déployer un modèle de traitement du langage naturel par intelligence artificielle qui puisse être adapté à une variété de sujets de niche et d’expertises connexes. Les modèles d’IA conversationnelle actuels, bien que très puissants, sont généralisés et manquent de la spécificité et de la voix d’un expert ou de ressources expertes présentes dans une industrie donnée. Une première étape pour recréer ces voix d’experts est de sélectionner un modèle général qui peut être construit et entraîné sur un corpus, un vocabulaire et un texte liés à une niche spécifique rapidement.
