Hi Friends,

Even as I launch this today ( my 80th Birthday ), I realize that there is yet so much to say and do. There is just no time to look back, no time to wonder,"Will anyone read these pages?"

Catching up on Chatbots ?


Dear Friends :
A news report in today’s Eco Times reads :
“ Haptik Makes Available its Proprietary Chatbot Tech “
Freely making available ( open source ) , its “ Named Entity Recognition “
This might interest you
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Haptik is India’s first Conversational Commerce platform that is powered by both AI and real humans and we aim to redefine the way people get their everyday jobs done using chat as the underlying interface.

To build conversational platforms like Haptik, one of the module that plays crucial role is Named Entity Recognition (NER). In this repository, we have open-sourced NER which uses heuristic approach along with several NLP techniques to extract necessary entities from chat interfaces.

To know more about our NER repository please go through the following documentations:
Installation and setup: Detailed document on how to install and setup the chatbot NER on your system

CSV file structure and adding/removing entities to DataStore: Document on how to create your own entity and store it to DataStore

Approach used: Document on the architecture along with different detection logics (entity types) and built-in entities

API calls: A brief document on the api calls for different detection logics along with its necessary output

Install it using Docker image: Trouble in installing the Chatbot NER? install it using our Docker image

RE: PROCESS FLOW CHARTS BASED ON OUR TIME-LINE


Mitchelle ,

Suggest you request Akshay to proceed with the development of PREDICTOR ( offline tool ) pointing out your observation and need to avoid duplication of data entry

Sir,

Apologies for the delayed response as was away for a client meeting and could only access this mail now.

The process flow is in order – except that in few cases certain steps are need based and not necessarily will happen ; like for instance we may not always have a target list of companies created. Also NDA is only applicable in the case of confidential mandates.

Do advice.

Mitchelle,

Pl reply after discussing with concerned

Most important thing is to ensure that this tool ( shall we call it “ Predictor “ ? ) , does not require us to enter the same data twice ( in tool as well as in FF )

Hi Hemen, 

I have created the requested process document as well as project scope for the Data tool. Please suggest changes if required and give go-ahead for next stage.

PFA scope document.

Akshay,

Thanks for installing the tool on our server yesterday and processing the data of 386 FCV + 9000 others

We , now look forward to your building the “ Prediction Model “ based on these processed data and give it to us , by this week-end

Yesterday , we also discussed our entire process , step by step , along the 36 stage TIME LINE

Based on this, you will prepare a Data Capture tool , ( which will NOT require duplicating any data entry into File Finder )

This tool, by enabling creation of a “ data base “ ( instead of plain WORD documents ) , will enable us to generate different types of “ Analytics “ , in weeks and months to come

In the PROCESS SHEETS ( depicting interactions between the 3 parties concerned , viz: 3p / Client / Candidate ),
The CENTRE column will be just ONE column ( instead of the TWO , drawn in my handwritten pages ) , with the heading : “ Process Number “ , with the process itself described in the LEFT or the RIGHT column

Obviously , there cannot be ENTRIES on both the sides for the SAME “ process number “

These will zigzag , as shown

It would greatly help if :

·      Each process has been allotted specific “ Number of Days “ to complete it
·       
·      Tool clearly brings out the “ Time Over-run “ ( if any ) for any Process Activity ( for each mandate )
·       
·      As soon as a Recruiter logs into the tool , the first thing in the morning , she sees on the very first page , all the Mandates which she is handling , AND , tabulation showing how far behind ( lagging ) she is on the various activities . She is allowed to go to the next page , ONLY AFTER she clicks on “ NOTED “
·       

As far as the possible use of PERT for tracking each mandate is concerned , you may want to look up :

Mitchelle :
If some of the “ requirements “ ( of the proposed tool ) , mentioned by me above , are already available in File Finder , then pl inform Akshay to skip those . There is no point in TWO tools giving the SAME info

RE: FOR ATTN : SHRI Bandaru Dattatreyji


Will  Chatbots  take away Jobs ?
----------------------------------

No one knows for sure but there are strong indications that , much sooner than we would like to think , CHATBOTS may replace some humans , in SERVICE SECTORS where ROBOTS are unlikely to appear anytime soon

For example :

·         Hotels / Hospitality
·         BPO / Call Centres

·         Customer Support

·         Public Relations

·         Advertising / Branding

·         E Commerce
·         Online Trading…etc

·          

BUT CAN CHATBOTS CREATE JOBS ?


I think they can !


For example in the Service Sector of  “ Online Recruitment / Job Portals


Some 3.5 million students graduate from our Colleges , every year


But no more than ONE MILLION get “ interviewed “ by Recruiters , either Online or Offline !


Rest do not even get an interview call !


Simply because HUMAN recruitment managers / interviewers , in the large organized sector , just do NOT have time to interview 3.5 million jobseekers and evaluate their “ suitability

And owners of 40 million MSME just do not have the INTERVIEWING SKILLS or INTERVIEW TOOLS , for evaluating hundreds of candidates , for just one or two vacancies


Nor can they call these graduates for personal / face – to – face , interview , for the following reasons :


·         They don’t know where are the “ suitable “ candidates and how to contact them
·          

·         They do not have funds to reimburse these candidates for travel expenses
·          


But there is a way out !


In the form of a INTERVIEW BOT ( to be hosted by National Career portal ? )


Since all of those graduating 3.5 million have smart phones , they can download the INTERVIEW BOT , appear for an INTERVIEW ( Skype / WhatsApp / Google Duo ) on their mobile and record ( audio / video ) their answers ( to questions being asked by the INTERVIEW BOT , based on the Educational Qualification / Experience / Job preference / City preference / Industry preference etc of the concerned candidate )


INTERVIEW BOT will record / assess the answers and evaluate the soft skills ( expression / communicating skills ) , and assign a “ Employability Score “ ( of course for the “ Job Preference “ selected by that candidate )


[ And the beauty is : with every “ answer “ ( from millions of candidates ) , INTERVIEW BOT will continuously become smarter and smarter ! ]


A Candidate may appear for being interviewed ( by the INTERVIEW BOT of course ) for more than one “ Job Preference “ ( or even a repeat interview for the same Job Preference )


Those MSME who have registered on National Career Portal and entered their VACANCIES , will get lists of the candidates found “ suitable “by the INTERVIEW BOT ( based on some cut-off score ), along with their INTERVIEW SCORES and contact details


Just imagine the satisfaction of 3.5 million graduates that ,

·         Someone interviewed them / assessed them
·          

Someone will automatically forward their details to potential employers



And the satisfaction of 40 million MSME that they can now find / appoint the most suitable candidates , without hassle !


If anyone has doubt that AUTOMATED INTERVIEWING of millions on their smart phones , using INTERVIEW BOT is possible , let him look up :




[ closer at home Rohit Taneja is moving in this direction through his portal :



And should Shri Prakash Javadekarji ( Minister , Human Resources ) or Shri Bandaru Dattatreyaji ( Minister , Labour ) were to request Beerud Sheth ( Beerud@gupshup.io ) , he may even agree to develop such an INTERVIEW BOT for FREE , for downloading from National Career Portal !


That alone can provide to the NDA government ,



 
Business Line ( 13 Feb 2017 ) carried a news report titled :


“ 5 Crore jobs by 2020 : Dattatreya “

It goes on to read :
  
“The Centre will ensure jobs for 5 crore ( 50 million ) unemployed people in the country by 2020, according to Bandaru Dattatreya, Union Minister for Labour and Employment.


Dear Shri Bandaruji :


INTERVIEW BOT  is the only way to even think of interviewing 50 million candidates in next 3 years !

INTERVIEW BOT is the only answer !
