Coding Workshop - Smart Assistant Device
Objective:
The workshop is designed to train students' creative and design thinking skills through learning how to program a smart virtual assistant.
Description:
Students will learn to design conversational models that can provide a speech interface for machines to understand human's natural languages. Given a problem they may face in real-life, they would experience first-hand how to design, develop and implement a speech-enabled virtual assistant to solve the problem. Each workshop session includes fundamental understanding of the inner working of AI-enabled speech assistant, and hands-on sessions on making the assistant work to solve a practical problem.
In the last session of the workshop, students will demonstrate the capabilities of the virtual assistants and deploy the assistants for others to use.
