Bio:
Enrique Alfonseca is a Staff Research Scientist at Google Research Europe, where
he manages a team working on language understanding. Over the past ten years, he 
has worked at Google in ads quality, search quality and natural language processing,
with a current focus on conversational search.
 
Abstract: In this talk, I will discuss some of the challenges that conversational search 
faces in providing information to users. Some of them stem from the fact that many
questions are answered with snippets from the web, which may not be the most
appropriate to be inserted inside conversations. Secondly, I will describe in more 
detail the sentence compression and summarization approaches that are running 
in production in Google Home for improving the user experience around question
answering.
