::I could rename the category "Open Voice Assistants" to "Voice Assistants". Would "conversational agent" be a subcategory below "Voice Assistants" or just a page in that category.

What's a category here?
There is an ontology of categories in the site?


I'm asking because some concepts are maybe not precisely related to just a single category. By example the [[real-time-factor]] is commonly used in ASR (one category) but also valid sometime when reasoning about latency of a TTS (another category).

::: 1. '''Open voice Assistant or Voice Assistant?''' So a voice assistant is a voice-interfaced virtual assistant. Maybe an open voice assitant is an open assistant made by opensource+opendata enablers. Usually we ALSO tend to refer to an open voice assistant to on-prem/offline system... That's frankly a specific case (I could have a full open system but delivered as a cloud service...). It's all debatable :)
::: 2. '''What's a "conversational agent" and is this a subcategory of an "assistant" ?''' That's a good question! I'll try to create a definition asap. In short: ''conversational agent'' is an umbrella academic term for ''chatbot'' (nowadays also a ''voicebot'' or ''multimodal bot''). Not necessarly a conversational agent is an ''assistant''. Indeed an assistant is a special kind of chatbot that just "assists" the user.

Two topics to be discussed:
1. Open voice Assistant or Voice Assistant? So a voice assistant is a voice-interfaced virtual assistant. Maybe an open voice assitant is an open assistant made by opensource+opendata enablers. Usually we ALSO tend to refer to an open voice assistant to on-prem/offline system... That's frankly a specific case (I could have a full open system but delivered as a cloud service...). It's all debatable :)
2. What's a "conversational agent" and is this a subcategory of an "assistant" ? That's a good question! I'll try to create a definition asap. In short: conversational agent is an umbrella academic term for chatbot (nowadays also a voicebot or multimodal bot). Not necessarly a conversational agent is an assistant. Indeed an assistant is a special kind of chatbot that just "assists" the user. I'll give examples in the definition.--Solyarisoftware (talk) 11:22, 12 December 2021 (CET)Reply[reply]

If you look at the category tree on the Mainpage i thought it's helpful finding relevant content. I've already added some pages to multiple categories. So for example i'd add TTS and STT category to real-time-factor because it's related to both categories. --Thorsten (talk) 10:56, 12 December 2021 (CET)Reply[reply]
