Dhivehi to English translation with Microsoft translator

The Dhivehi language translation feature included in Microsoft translator and Microsoft 365 lets you press a button and translate written Dhivehi into English. Though there are a few hiccups here and there, the service is great and provides an understanding of the overall document. This is more than what we see from any existing models. I was amazed to see a link in one of my outlook web emails, it says “translate message to: English” which could mean nothing usually, however, when I saw the next sentence which said “Never translate from: Divehi”, I thought why would it says Divehi specifically if it doesn’t understand that the entire email was written in Dhivehi? Out of curiosity, I pressed the button, and to my surprise, it was quite good. The essence of the message was retained very well. For example, something like އިޙްތިރާމް ޤަބޫލުކުރެއްވުން އެދެން could be translated as “ I would like to respect you ”, which is ok in terms of translation, but what it meant was greeti...

Google dialogflow - How to train a chatbot to answer questions related to your office and how to make it better than just a Q&A bot?

First lets look how to do it the basic way. To train a conversational AI chatbot for answering office-related queries using Dialogflow, you will need to follow these steps: Create a new agent in Dialogflow. Collect a dataset of office-related queries and their corresponding answers. This dataset can be obtained through various means, such as scraping websites, conducting surveys, or manually creating a dataset. Create intents in Dialogflow for the queries in your dataset. An intent represents a user's intention, such as asking for office hours or requesting a vacation day. Add training phrases to each intent, which are examples of how a user might ask the question. Provide responses for each intent, which will be the chatbot's answer to the user's query. Test the chatbot using the "Try it now" feature in Dialogflow. Once the chatbot is working well, you can deploy it to a platform of your choice, such as a website or mobile app. However, if you follow the basic ...

Is IT no longer about technology?

Author: Jason Hiner Writes... It’s become horribly cliche to talk about the importance of IT-business alignment and the need for IT professionals to become much more business-savvy, but Gartner’s Tom Austin (right) takes it to the next level. He believes that the IT professional of the future will be less of an engineer and more of a social scientist. What? Yes, you heard that right — the word “social” will become a key part of the IT professional’s job description. It flies in the face of most of the stereotypes about techies and it sounds a little corny, but Austin does draw some interesting conclusions that are worth a look, if only because they are so unconventional. Here are some of the most salient quotes from Austin on this subject (from an interview in Fast Company ): “The problem with IT today is there are too many engineers and not enough social scientists.” “Too often, we have measurement and reward systems that are focused on how many transactions did you process, how man...
