The aim of attending an educational institution is learning, which in turn is sought after for the reason of independence of thoughts, ideologies as well as physical and material independence. This physical and material independence is gotten from working in the industry, that is, being a part of the independent working population of the country. There needs to be a way by which students upon graduation can easily adapt to the real world with necessary skills and knowledge required. This problem has been a challenge in some computer science departments, which after effects known after the student begins to work in an industry. The objectives of this project include: Designing a web based chat application for the industry and computer science department, Develop a web based chat application for the industry and computer science and Evaluate the web based chat application for the industry and computer science department. Waterfall system development lifecycle is used in establishing a system project plan, because it gives an overall list of processes and sub-processes required in developing a system. The descriptive research method applied in this project is documentary analysis of previous articles. The result of the project is the design, software a web-based chat application that aids communication between the industry and the computer science department and the evaluation of the system. The application is able to store this information which can be decided to be used later. Awareness of the software to companies and universities, implementation of the suggestions made by the industry in the computer science curriculum, use of this software in universities across Nigeria and use of this not just in the computer science field but in other field of study

Start-up Eddy Travels has launched a new artificial intelligence group planning digital assistant as part of a partnership with flight search specialist Kiwi.com. Tequila API powers the Eddy Travels AI assistant flight search which was launched in 2018 and has four million users. Eddy Travels, the co-located Lithuanian and Canadian firm, said the new group chat planning service will help families and friends planning to reconnect after months in lockdown. Edmundas Balčikonis, co-founder and chief executive of Eddy Travels, said: "The new chat app removes the burden for one person to be responsible for planning everything and makes it a fun shared activity, even if it's done remotely for now." Oliver Dlouhý, co-founder and chief executive of Kiwi.com, added: "Edmundas and his team did an amazing job building the first group travel booking app that actually works and is really fun to use. "We are proud to be providers of flight and ground transportation inventory, including Virtual Interlining.

Last week, DMN spoke to Ryan Begley, cofounder of EyeLevel.ai, After working at IBM Watson as a product director on digital assistants in vehicles, Begley combined his knowledge with friends of his who were working on chat applications with The Weather Company. They found that people loved interacting with the chat application: they would upload pictures of their families, tell the chat application to have a nice day, and ask questions. This discovery helped Begley and his associates realize that there was a need for consumers to communicate in real time to the companies that were providing services. After some deliberation, the trio decided that they had an incredible business opportunity to help brands reach out to consumers and build relationships with them with no middle man.

PubNub BLOCKS enables you to process your data mid-stream, to execute functions on your data in motion. This is huge, because you no longer need to spin up and manage new servers to run a simple function. It's all done in the network. That's why we say that PubNub is a programmable network. IBM Watson is a powerful technology that brings cognition to applications, with the ability to understand, reason, learn, and interact. I like to say it gives your application a brain, extending the capabilities of your application beyond simply interacting through a set of rules.

GeoFluent Customizer is a product billed by its makers, Lionbridge, as being able to improve base language models by using your enterprise's language assets for an enhanced customer chat translation experience. Basically that means that while, yes, you can find free chat translation services out there, Lionbridge is betting you wouldn't want to actually allow valuable customers to utilize them in fear of inaccuracies. It offers real-time on-demand custom translation in a cloud app -- automated machine translation technology, instantly translating content and communications into multiple languages.The GeoFluent platform accomplishes this, Lionbridge officials say, by integrating advanced cloud-based language tools with a real-time translation service, a statistical machine translation engine from IBM's (News - Alert) Watson Research Center. The chat translation platform can also be customized using your content and configured for specific business processes for multilingual communication such as eSupport, forums, blogs, web pages, chat sessions and other such uses. What sets GeoFluent apart is the fact that is based on a powerful technology platform that uses statistical machine translation algorithms from IBM. SMT, Lionbridge officials explain, has contributed to the growth in machine translation applications in recent years since it can analyze "vast amounts of previously translated material," and target-language texts to create what Lionbridge officials say is "a real-time translation in a fraction of the time that it takes to produce traditional rules- based translation systems."

From the era of the desktop app to the era of the web page to the era of the mobile app to the latest paradigm shift which seems to be happening now: the conversation. These providers will most likely sit at the center of an ecosystem which will handle NLP (Natural Language Processing), semantic analysis, and other core tasks such as location and calendar integration. Currently, there are "bits and pieces" for particulars like dialogs (IBM Dialog) and NLP (IBM AlchemyAPI) all the way to large sdk's for voice and digital assistants (Alexa, Siri, and Google). While the examples above are simplistic they do provide some structure and a view into the basic text lines of voice and chat applications.
