Notes:
A dialog system is any system that can accept questions in natural language and issue answers in natural language. This broad definition includes both traditional question answering systems, as well as more advanced conversational agents that are able to engage in longer, more natural back-and-forth dialogues with users. The key characteristic of a dialog system is its ability to understand and generate natural language, which allows it to communicate with users in a more intuitive and human-like way.
