Dr. Dave Patterson earned a PhD in artificial intelligence at
Ulster University where he also led an AI research lab. He also
has degrees in computer science and biochemistry. Dave spent 15
years as a senior lecturer at Ulster University before leaving to
become the founding CEO of Sophia, an advanced search technology
company that helped online publishers match advertising to reader

Dave and his team added NLU capabilities to the Aiqudo action
engine. 


 


Today we talk about AI, NLU, NLP, semiotics and symbolic language
representations, and much more. We break down how Aiqudo's
architecture is different from other popular voice assistant
platforms and how that enables higher efficiency in NLU training
through unsupervised learning as well as semantic understanding
accuracy.
