  • Publication number: 20230409615
    Abstract: In one embodiment, a system includes an automatic speech recognition (ASR) module, a natural-language understanding (NLU) module, a dialog manager, one or more agents, an arbitrator, a delivery system, one or more processors, and a non-transitory memory coupled to the processors comprising instructions executable by the processors, the processors operable when executing the instructions to receive a user input, process the user input using the ASR module, the NLU module, the dialog manager, one or more of the agents, the arbitrator, and the delivery system, and provide a response to the user input.

  • Patent number: 11710479
    Abstract: Techniques for implementing a chatbot that utilizes context embeddings are described. An exemplary method includes determining a next turn by: applying a language model to the utterance to determine a probability of a sequence of words, generating a context embedding for the utterance based at least on one or more of: a dialog act as defined by a chatbot definition of the chatbot, a topic vector identifying a domain of the chatbot, a previous chatbot response, and one or more slot options; performing neural language model rescoring using the determined probability of a sequence of words as a word embedding and the generated context embedding to predict an hypothesis; determining at least a name of a slot and type to be fulfilled based at least in part on the hypothesis and the chatbot definition; and determining a next turn based at least in part on the chatbot definition, any previous state, and the name of the slot and type to be fulfilled.

  • Patent number: 11705116
    Abstract: Systems and methods described herein relate to adapting a language model for automatic speech recognition (ASR) for a new set of words. Instead of retraining the ASR models, language models and grammar models, the system only modifies one grammar model and ensures its compatibility with the existing models in the ASR system.
