  • Real-time feedback for efficient dialog processing
    Patent number: 11935521
    Abstract: Techniques are described for improving the efficiency of dialog processing by prompting and processing user feedback substantially in real time. A dialog system receives speech input from a user and processes a first portion of the speech input to determine an initial discerned intent. The dialog system causes display of a visual indication of the initial discerned intent. The visual indication of the discerned intent is used to guide the dialog so that the user can correct or confirm the initial discerned intent in a natural fashion. If the initial discerned intent is inaccurate, the user can provide feedback correcting the dialog system, and the dialog system processes a second portion of the speech input to determine a modified discerned intent. Thus, the dialog system can use the feedback to correct misunderstandings on the fly.
