Developing Bots. Primers - Workshop Kraków!

<H2>Developing Bots. A Primer</H2>
During the workshop, we implement three different types of bots. We have prepared a few notebooks to be done before the course to the participants a short introduction into chatbots. We implement an HR assistant bot that can be a basis for your projects. We show how to develop Slack, Telegram and Messenger bots. 
At the beginning of day on one of the courses we present bot taxonomy and machine learning terms related to bots. Next, we go through natural language processing and natural language understanding. Between both, a short introduction to tensorflow is given. It is needed for better understanding of how natural language understanding methods work. 
During day two we go into more complex topics like sentiment analysis, context management and how to build intelligent bots. We show how to develop a vectorizer and build a sentiment analysis method. This method is next compared with other solutions that are available on the market. The context management is a complex topic and we show how to use some methods to deal with context recognition and management in case we have more than one. The last part is dedicated to generative models and how to build intelligent bots.
The course ends with a homework where the methods explained during the course should be used by the participants in given homework examples. Additionally, there is one optional notebook for speech recognition.
