At DeepPavlov, our investments are spread across 3 parts of the technology stack, including Library, Dream, and Agent. All of these projects are focused on enhancing and strengthening our Conversational AI stack, with each contributing corresponding components.
DeepPavlov can be used for many useful applications, including:
process automation of call centers and customer service,
development question answering systems at any scale,
sentiment classification of customer review,
production-ready dialog system,
applied NLP research and others.
Overview
DeepPavlov Library is a foundation for our framework. DeepPavlov is an open- source framework for building chatbots and virtual assistants. It comes with a set of predefined components for solving Natural Language Processing (NL) related problems and a framework to build a modular pipeline that lets developers and NLP researchers create production-ready conversational skills and complex multi-skill conversational assistants. DeepPalvov Library is based on TensorFlow and Keras. It contains basic NLP components like NER, Entity Linking, KBQA, Go-Bot, and others.
In our Conversational AI stack, these components:
are used as standalone services used by skills (e.g., KBQA, Wikidata Parser),
provide a framework to build goal-oriented skills (Go-Bot),
are used as generic annotators (e.g., NER, Entity Linking, Emotion Analysis, etc.)
The developed DeepPavlov’s models demonstrate a level of quality that is superior or comparable to the existing solutions of the leading companies -Google, Microsoft, IBM, Facebook and others.
DeepPavlov Agent is our multiskill Conversational AI orchestrator that coordinates the entire Conversational AI pipeline of the AI Assistants. It incorporates annotators, skills, Skill & Response Selectors to provide a coherent experience to its users.
DP Library and DP Agent make it easy for beginners and experts to create dialog systems. Additionally, its declarative approach to defining sequences of model execution in config files allows users to track dependencies and provide paths to download the missing trained ML models.
DeepPavlov Dream is a set of our default goal-oriented and chit-chat skills, as well as a number of demo AI Assistants built using components from Library and managed by DeepPavlov Agent.
