ALEXA PRIZE SOCIALBOT GRAND CHALLENGE 4



The Alexa Prize is a global competition for university students dedicated to accelerating the field of conversational AI.
The way humans interact with machines is at an inflection point and conversational artificial intelligence (AI) is at the center of the transformation.
Alexa, the voice service that powers Amazon Echo, enables customers to interact with the world around them in a more intuitive way using only their voice.

The Alexa Prize Socialbot Grand Challenge is a competition for university students dedicated to accelerating the field of conversational AI. The competition is focused on creating a socialbot, an Alexa skill that converses coherently and engagingly with humans on popular topics and news events. Participating teams will advance several areas of conversational AI including knowledge acquisition, natural language understanding, natural language generation, context modeling, commonsense reasoning and dialog planning. Through the innovative work of students, Alexa customers will have novel, engaging conversations. And, the immediate feedback from Alexa customers will help students improve their algorithms much faster than previously possible.
