Abstract: Detection of crisis situations using multiple classifiers can enable fast and efficient processing of input phrases to determine if an abatement protocol should be executed. An input phrase can be passed through a pattern matching classifier and then through a trained machine learning classifier. If neither classifier identifies a crisis, the workflow can continue as usual. However, if a crisis is identified, confirmation of the crisis situation can be sought and used to further update one or both of the classifiers. If the crisis is confirmed, emergency information and crisis management tools can be presented to the user, among other mitigating actions. If the crisis is not confirmed, a prompt can be presented to the user to discuss the trigger phrase associated with the trigger signal.
