Thought I'd share what I've been working on for some time. Would love feedback! It uses Deep learning models for natural language. Happy to answer tech related questions here. Just a note: It's limited to San Francisco only for now - and it's still in Alpha - there will be kinks!

For NLP, what API/lib are you guys using?
For building blocks - it's a combination - mixture of word2vec for feature vectors, and some parts of spaCy (though still experimental).

#45There are a bunch of very nice NL related experiments I've tried that are waiting in ipython notebooks, that we would love to experiment with here in production. If anyone here is interested in working on problems that relate to NLP/Deep Learning, and doing so with millisecond response times, at scale - you know what to do :)

#46I can't for the life of me figure out how to text that number with FB Messenger... am I missing something?
(1) Go to the "People" tab [1]
(2) Click the "+" Icon on the top right [2]
(3) Add the phone number you want to message. [3]

#48Does anybody remember I Want Sandy? That was the first product of this type that really worked well for me.
The main motivation behind Myra is that it maintains conversational context - so you can ask questions and follow up with it without leaving that context.
Eg: "Find me a restaurant" and "Show me what people say about it".
Just like you would when speaking to a person - and one of the things that most (all?) other AI assistants out there lack.

#49Nice app !! This looks promising as people were raising concerns how much the magics or operators of the world can scale relying on humans to answer your queries. I'm interested to know more about tech involved in building this. You said it uses Deep Learning for NLP, but can you elaborate as what type of neural networks you have used like Recursive or Recurrent Neural networks or any other open source technologies t…
The tech is evolving. Recurrent NNs, word embeddings. Standard python libraries mostly. Nvidia CUDA backend for speed.

#50PS, it's interesting that CS224d : Deep Learning for NLP is trending at the same time as Myra. A lot of stuff is common to both - for instance, the topic on Recurrent neural nets for word embedding. There are a bunch of very nice NL related experiments I've tried that are waiting in ipython notebooks, that we would love to experiment with here in production. If anyone here is interested in working on problems that re…
