January 09 2018 - 11:30AM
CES 2018 -- At this week’s CES, Nuance Communications, Inc.
(NASDAQ:NUAN) will demonstrate new conversational artificial
intelligence (AI)-powered solutions that deliver unparalleled
experiences across the connected car, smart home and connected
devices. Through advancements in conversational AI, Nuance is
empowering solutions that hear, understand, learn, and leverage
language to interact with users, providing personalized experiences
and new levels of convenience, engagement, security and
satisfaction.
The next generation of Nuance solutions, designed for both today
and the future, represent an evolution of technology that will
allow for more dynamic and collaborative interactions with
assistants that will complete more complex, realistic tasks with
higher accuracy. In addition, Nuance is pioneering a way to bring
the world of disparate virtual assistants together into one
seamless interface through its new cognitive arbitrator.
Seamless Interoperability Across the Assistant
EcosystemNuance’s new cognitive arbitrator combines
conversational and cognitive AI capabilities to connect disparate
virtual assistants, third-party services and content, and
intelligent agents through an interoperable interface that meets
the unique needs of the connected lifestyle across the smart home
and car. Cognitive arbitration will be demoed across Nuance’s CES
experiences, including interoperability between the home and car
and the ability to connect whether at home or on the go with
restaurant, bank, airline, telco, and retail brands through Nina,
Nuance’s virtual assistant for customer engagement. For more
information on the cognitive arbitrator, check out last week’s
press release.
New AI-Powered Dragon Drive Features Nuance’s
CES Innovation Award-winning Dragon Drive automotive
platform now includes features that bridge the gap between
in-car and outside-the-car experiences and brings a more human
experience to the automotive assistant. Dragon Drive now tightly
integrates conversational artificial intelligence with non-verbal
modalities such as gaze detection, enabling drivers to get
information about and interact with places outside the car simply
by looking at them; enhanced interoperability with other
assistants, including in the smart home, virtual personal
assistants and bots; and Just Talk, the capability to invoke the
automotive assistant without pushing a button or using a wake-up
word. For more on the latest Dragon Drive innovations, check out
last week’s press release.
AI-Based Solutions for Mobile CarriersNuance is
utilizing AI to enhance subscriber engagement for mobile service
providers, supporting carriers’ transformation to digital service
providers and reinventing their relationships with their
subscribers through intelligent solutions. New for CES 2018, Nuance
will showcase enhanced capabilities for Loop, its AI- and data
analytics-powered marketing platform for mobile operators that
delivers new revenue streams by connecting subscribers to
compelling services on the channels that are most relevant to them,
including social networks, SMS, Web, and USSD. New features provide
subscriber offers and new subscriber touchpoints for top-ups,
financial services, and contextual ads features using customized
shortcuts. For example, new AI-powered chatbots will deliver
personalized services, such as top-ups, via social networking
channels like Facebook Messenger, creating a seamless user
experience within the most relevant channel for each
subscriber.
Interactive Entertainment ExperiencesNuance is
pioneering how conversational AI can make media and entertainment
more interactive and immersive. Nuance will be showcasing a
prototype of an interactive gaming experience, which will
demonstrate the power of speech in enabling conversations with
non-player characters (NPCs).
