Generally, yes. But you can go very far and cover a lot of cases when you stick to a narrow domain and common patterns that customers of your product will typically use.
- waynecochran 6y agoMy reaction to Siri is either amazement at how well it worked or disgust in its failure on seemingly simple queries.
- binarymax 6y agoSiri has lots of known problems. My biggest gripes are the lack of context and lack of a "discussion" state. But Siri is a general domain problem, which is really really hard. Siri set the expectation you can ask it anything, and it works terribly and for most questions just gives up and runs a web search. If you are an e-commerce company though, that's a narrow enough domain, because you know that for most people, they're looking for products to buy or compare. It's not an unbounded Q&A service.
- huffmsa 6y agoYeah the examples would probably do better if they had a front layer model determining the general topic "clothing" then shipping the query off to the clothing and fashion specific model for details. Lots of focus on a general purpose mono-model, but I think a collection of specialized subsystems is a better representation and would produce better results, faster.
