Low Resource Chat-based Conversational Intelligence

Increasingly, our interaction with devices and services takes the form of a conversation. People conduct a conversation with a system to express their questions and needs; the system responds in a natural way, possibly asking questions for clarification, thereby meeting the needs of the user. How do we ensure that this chat technology is also accessible and usable for specialist tasks, new application domains and scenarios, with relatively little training material and computing power? LESSEN is focused on the development of efficient algorithms and solutions for the optimal use of written conversational data, in a secure and transparent way.
