Conversica Chief Scientist, Dr. Sid J. Reddy

Foster City, CA (PRWEB) October 23, 2017 -- Conversica, the leader in conversational AI for business, today announced that Chief Scientist Dr. Sid J. Reddy will be a featured speaker at two industry-leading AI conferences in the coming month, as well as keynote a global webcast in December.

Today’s leaders recognize intuitively that artificial intelligence and related technologies are poised to fundamentally change the way business is done. I look forward to helping them understand actions they can take today and why those are both technologically sound as well as effective.

At this week’s VentureBeat Summit, Dr. Reddy will discuss how conversational AI is transforming organizations’ lead generation processes and will provide a demonstration of Conversica’s conversational AI platform during the Summit’s Innovation Showcase, which features the top five most promising AI technologies selected by the conference chair.

At the upcoming AI Expo North America, focused on “delivering AI for a smarter future,” Dr. Reddy will speak on “Conversational AI – Basics and Design Considerations: Lessons Learned from Millions of AI Conversations for Thousands of Customers” and will introduce Conversica’s artificial intelligence approach to creating, deploying, and continuously improving an AI-based autonomous sales assistant. In the session, Dr. Reddy will also present techniques and empirical data for assessing the effectiveness of conversational AI.

Both conferences share the common goal of uniting technology and business leaders to better understand, assess and deploy artificial intelligence-powered technologies in the enterprise. Dr. Reddy, a broadly recognized expert in Natural Language Processing (NLP) and computational linguistics, will provide a unique perspective on how organizations are successfully integrating applied-AI solutions such as Conversica’s platform.

“I am excited and honored to present both technological and business perspectives on AI at these important industry events,” commented Dr. Reddy. “Today’s leaders recognize intuitively that artificial intelligence and related technologies are poised to fundamentally change the way business is done and that a wait-and-see stance is no longer necessary nor prudent. I look forward to helping them understand actions they can take today and why those are both technologically sound as well as effective.”

Those not attending these conferences can join Dr. Reddy for a live webcast on December 12, titled “Natural Language Processing exposed: the art, the science and the applications.” Registration is free at http://con.ai/nlp-webcast-12, thanks to the generosity of Conversica partner BrightTALK.

About the VentureBeat Summit
VB Summit is Silicon Valley’s most intimate invitation-only executive event, focusing this year on the explosion of AI in business - specifically how execs are using AI to extract real ROI for their companies. It’s where senior product, brand, innovation and marketing execs openly share and exchange frank conversations. It’s where they learn and debate. And it's where the AI wave shows who rides to success and who gets left behind. VB Summit is being held October 23 and 24 at the Claremont Hotel & Resort in Berkeley, CA.

About the AI Expo North America
The AI Conference & Exhibition will showcase the next-generation technologies and strategies from the world of Artificial Intelligence, providing an opportunity to explore and discover the practical and successful implementation of AI to drive business forward this year and beyond. The AI Expo is taking place on November 29-30 at the Santa Clara Convention Center in Santa Clara, CA.

He is a recognized expert in Natural Language Processing (NLP) and Computational Linguistics who designed, developed and contributed to dozens of NLP systems used in production in a wide array of use-cases and industry verticals. Dr. Reddy graduated with a Bachelors in Computer Science from the Indian Institute of Technology and moved to the United States to develop an effective approach to “information extraction with limited training data” for his PhD. His expertise in NLP allowed him to develop text-mining infrastructures from scratch at two technology startups and at the Mayo Clinic, and then at Northwestern University where he founded an NLP Lab. Most recently, Dr. Reddy served at Microsoft as Principal Applied Scientist.
