Hey Rasa [@community](https://forum.rasa.com/groups/community)

Rasa Research Advocate Vincent Warmerdam (@koaning) presents a brand-new series on the [Rasa YouTube channel](https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCJ0V6493mLvqdiVwOKWBODQ?sub_confirmation=1): [The Algorithm Whiteboard](https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL75e0qA87dlG-za8eLI6t0_Pbxafk-cxb)!

The field of natural language is expanding, and we want to make sure they are well understood by developers who use our tools. The goal of this playlist is to create a place where developers can learn about the ideas behind the algorithms and explain some of our research results.

The first episodes explain our new DIET algorithm for intent classification and entity extraction:

### **More on DIET**

Looking for more information about DIET? Check out our [**recent blog post**](https://blog.rasa.com/introducing-dual-intent-and-entity-transformer-diet-state-of-the-art-performance-on-a-lightweight-architecture/) by Senior Evangelist @maddymantha where she walks us through what is DIET, why to use DIET, and how to use DIET.
