Hobson Lane is a machine learning engineer with a passion for teaching and writing. So it's no surprise that his first book teaches how to "compile" natural language into software that machines can execute. Hobson has been building control systems for 30 years, from offroad self-driving cars (TerraHawk) to spacefaring robots (NASA's AWIMR project and NGST's Formation Flying laboratory). Hobson's true passion is for robots that can communicate in natural language (English). His answer to the rise of antisocial chatbots is to build and train prosocial virtual assistants. He's on a mission to teach the world how to build chatbots that actually assist us rather than manipulate us. He built the first "visual interpreter for the blind" at Aira, and is now helping architect a cognitive assistant for medical providers at Manceps as well as a safety-monitoring smart camera for DeepCanopy. A how-to book on building cognitive assistants won't be far behind.
