Conversational Assistant

Conversational assistants, or chatbots, aim to create natural and helpful interactions between humans and computers, focusing on improving user experience and task completion. Current research emphasizes enhancing capabilities through techniques like Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) and fine-tuning large language models (LLMs) for specific tasks, such as slot-filling for dialogue state tracking and generating context-specific responses. This field is significant due to its potential applications across diverse sectors, including healthcare, education, and software engineering, though challenges remain in ensuring safety, ethical considerations, and addressing biases in LLM responses.
