Overview

NVIDIA’s intelligent virtual assistant AI solution workflow integrates NVIDIA Riva English automatic speech recognition (ASR) and text-to-speech (TTS) with Haystack, a third-party, open-source natural language processing (NLP) service for information retrieval and question answering (IRQA), and Rasa, an open-source dialog manager.
