Abstract: Techniques for recommending a skill experience to a user after a user-system dialog session has ended are described. Upon a dialog session ending, the system uses a first machine learning model to determine potential intents to recommend to a user. The system then uses a second machine learning model to determine a particular skill and intent to recommend. The system then prompts the user to accept the recommended skill and intent. If the user accepts, the system calls the recommended skill to execute. As part of calling the skill, the system sends to the skill at least one entity provided in a natural language user input of the ended dialog session. This enables the skill to skip welcome prompts, and initiate processing to output a response based on the intent and the at least one entity of the ended dialog session.

The techniques designate certain clinical variables as hybrid variables that can be assigned values by machine learning model prediction. The techniques process, using a machine learning model trained to predict a value of a hybrid variable, clinical record data associated with a subject to obtain a predicted hybrid variable value and an associated confidence score. The techniques set the value of the hybrid variable for the subject to the predicted hybrid variable value when the model prediction is of sufficiently high confidence.
