Building a Multi-Lingual Bot on the Oracle Chatbot Platform

First things first, if you are new to building Chatbot using the Oracle Cloud Platform, here are some quick videos to get you started on the platform and its capabilities. There is also an online MOOC (Massive Open Online Course) available on how to build your first BOT using the Oracle Platform and access the Bot through Facebook Channel.
Now that we understand how to build a bot let’s turn the Bot that can recognise the input from the end user conversing in his/her own language and respond accordingly.

The Bot platform allows you to bring your own translation keys (Google / Bing) and the Bot can be configured to detect the language. The bot further converts the user input to English, intent recognition by the NLP engine kicks off, based on the dialogue flow the bot structures the response in English which is again translated back into the language in which the question was asked by the user.

Let’s see that this in action :

Building iOS Mobile App on Oracle Autonomous Visual Builder Cloud Service (VBCS)

The latest VBCS 2.0 release makes developing Mobile Applications faster using a declarative drag and drop approach while giving the flexibility to the developer to inspect the code and inject any additional code that the tool doesn’t provide out of the box. You can build your app from the browser itself without the need for any code editor.

Here is a quick tutorial on how to build a Mobile app using VBCS.
https://youtu.be/6n6p6D4ReLE

Once you develop your mobile app, you can create an Android or iOS build profile that will allow the tool generate the QR code so that you can test your mobile app on the device of your choice.

Building a Smart Contract with Oracle Blockchain Cloud Service @ #WinterHack2018

Last weekend, I was at the Code Network Winter Hackathon event in Brisbane – https://codenetwork.co/winter-hackathon-2018/. I was there as a sponsor, workshop presenter, mentor and just a general supporter. As such there was some down-time between different activities. So, what a great time to sit down and work on something that I have no idea about (technically) – #Blockchain and Hyperledger. So, as a normal person does – I went searching for relevant content to help. Here’s a couple of the searches that I did.

Unfortunately, through many different searches and reading lots of things it became apparent that I didn’t know much and there was lots to learn. There seemed to a massive amount information that looked great. There was content that talked about what a Blockchain is. There was content that talked about the business use cases and examples of why you use a Blockchain technology. There was code that built a Blockchain. I found plenty smart contract examples on github. I learnt more about what I needed to know but it didn’t get me to the place that I wanted to be.

So – how do I develop and play with a Smart Contract?

Active Directory Delegated Authentication in Oracle Identity Cloud Service

AD Delegated Authentication is a way to synchronise user passwords between an on-premises Microsoft Active Directory enterprise directory structure and Oracle Identity Cloud Service (IDCS). Users can use their AD passwords to sign in to IDCS to access resources and applications protected by Oracle IDCS. We will use Office365 as one of the target applications. Oracle IDCS can provision user into Office365 and keep users synchronised.

The following diagram 1 depicts the scenario:
