Dialog System Frameworks – Meta-Guide.com

Notes:

A dialog system framework is a software architecture that provides a structure for building interactive dialog systems. Dialog systems are computer programs that enable natural language communication between humans and machines, typically through spoken or written language. Dialog system frameworks typically provide the necessary infrastructure for handling user input, generating appropriate responses, and managing the flow of conversation. Some examples of dialog system frameworks include:

OpenDial: An open-source dialog system framework for building and evaluating natural language dialog systems.
Rasa: An open-source framework for building chatbots and other conversational agents that uses machine learning to understand and respond to user input.
Watson Assistant: A cloud-based dialog system framework from IBM that allows developers to build and deploy chatbots and other conversational interfaces.
Amazon Lex: A dialog system framework from Amazon Web Services that allows developers to build chatbots and other conversational interfaces using natural language understanding and automatic speech recognition.
Google Dialogflow: A cloud-based dialog system framework from Google that enables developers to build chatbots and other conversational interfaces using natural language processing and machine learning.
