How will you know when machines understand you? Beyond chatbots and command-driven tools, can a machine act as a collaborative teammate that reacts to your evolving beliefs, goals, and intentions? Human language technologies are now enabling algorithms that model our actions and can help us discover better paths to success.

Unlike traditional BI tools or search engines, this new generation of technologies sees across your desktop, cloud services and all of your tools. With this full view of you and your team’s digital life, virtual agents can infer your current state of knowledge –– and help you leap ahead.

This talk will explore online investigations in which collaborative agents can help us explore the deep Web faster and more thoroughly than ever before.
