Dialogue Systems

Dialogue systems, also known as conversational agents or chatbots, are computer programs designed to engage in conversation with human users. They leverage natural language processing (NLP) techniques to understand, process, and respond to human language in a way that simulates human-like conversation. Dialogue systems can be text-based or voice-based and are utilized in various applications such as customer service, virtual assistants, and interactive voice response systems.These systems can be categorized into two main types: rule-based systems, which follow predefined scripts and rules, and machine learning-based systems, which use algorithms to learn from data and improve responses over time. The goal of a dialogue system is to provide meaningful and coherent interactions, enabling users to achieve specific tasks or obtain information through conversational means. Effective dialogue systems can recognize context, manage dialogue flow, and maintain user engagement, making them valuable tools in human-computer interaction.
