Bridging the Communication Gap
People have been chatting with machines for decades. Despite advances in machine learning and artificial intelligence, the conversations are not terribly dynamic and have proven to be grossly inadequate in a highly-dynamic, unstructured environment. Researchers at the University of Michigan are deconstructing the fundamental structures of natural dialog to create a model for autonomous vehicles to follow when in the field.
