Debating Technologies

The IBM Debating Technologies Team developed Project Debater - the first AI system to successfully debate with a human. In February 2019, Project Debater debated Mr. Harish Natarajan, one of the world's leading professional debaters in an event held in San Francisco and broadcasted live worldwide.

                                                                               

Project Debater technologies are now available for both business and academic use.

Since 2019, the team has continued to research and develop assets in the fields of opinion analysis and summarization, in domains ranging from surveys, to social media, to product reviews.

The team also created a new platform to facilitate efficient creation of text classification models, using a unique human in the loop approach, that allows Subject Matter Experts to create high quality classifiers with no linguistics, machine learning, or programming knowledge.

We also continue to research new interactive dialog systems , with focus on creating a deep, informative and persuasive conversation.
