Today I read about Meena not a girl but a chatbot developed by Google.

Few important things that you should know about Meena :

• Meena is “a 2.6 billion parameter end-to-end trained neural conversational model” who can “conduct conversations that are more sensible and specific than existing state-of-the-art chatbots”.
• Meena has been trained on 341GB of text filtered from public social-media conversations
• If we compare Meena to OpenAI GPT-2 , Meena has 1.7x greater model capacity and it was trained on 8.5x more data.
• To put Meena to the test, Google has developed a new metric it calls the Sensibleness and Specificity Average (SSA), which captures important attributes for natural conversations.
• Humans rank around 86% in SSA, and in initial tests, Meena scores a high of 79%.
