Published: Dec. 1, 2017, midnight

b"In this session,\\xa0scientists from the Alexa\\xa0team\\xa0explore and discuss some of the\\xa0AI\\xa0challenges behind the Alexa Prize. Learn about the challenges of Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR), Natural Language Understanding (NLU) and conversational interaction\\xa0through stories from\\xa0the founding members of the team that also built Amazon Echo and Alexa. We'll address the early difficulties of designing the algorithms for noise reduction for close-talk, near field, and far-field Alexa devices, and methods and frameworks they use for\\xa0ASR, NLU and conversational interaction."
