Conversational AI is a technology that allows a “machine” to speak to a person in a natural language. NVIDIA NeMo is an open-source conversational AI toolkit built for researchers working on automatic speech recognition (ASR), natural language processing (NLP), and text-to-speech synthesis (TTS). The primary objective of NeMo is to help researchers from industry and academia to develop new models for automatic speech recognition, text-to-speech, natural language processing, and neural machine translation. Nemo also has a large number of step-by-step tutorials and pre-trained models.
The outline of the talk goes as follows:
1. NeMo overview.
2. Where to start: tutorials on ASR, TTS, and NLP.
3. NeMo ASR overview.
4. NeMo TTS overview.
5. NeMo NLP overview.
6. From research to production: deploying NeMo models.
