Abstract: In some aspects, a multi-turn conversational system includes: an artificial intelligence to provide a conversation interface configured to execute multiple turns of human-like conversation with a user and a control logic, in communication with the conversation interface, and configured to generate one or more control signals based on evaluating multiple turns of upstream human-like conversation between the conversation interface and the user. The control signals contribute in part to construction of multiple turns of downstream human-like conversation between the conversation interface and the user.
