Abstract

In this talk, I will discuss my research efforts to develop human-like intelligence that can effectively interact with humans in the real world. This includes developing sophisticated language understanding capabilities, decision-making abilities and generalisation skills. I will explore the challenges of achieving this goal and outline the strategies we have employed to overcome them in text-based games, chatbots and robotics. By building intelligent systems that can interact with humans in a natural and intuitive way, we can unlock a range of exciting new possibilities for the future of technology.
