Patent number: 11954446Abstract: Disclosed herein are methods and systems for generating automatically transactional dialog flows for a virtual assistant based on a set of predefined (labeled) transactional flows defining user interaction paths to accomplish one or more tasks. The virtual assistant is represented by a tree structure comprising a plurality of dialog nodes where each transactional flow comprises a respective subset of the nodes descending from a parent node to one or more completion nodes. New transactional flows may be generated automatically based on similarity with the predefined transactional flows, by selecting a candidate node and one of the predefined transactional flows comprising a completion node most similar to the candidate completion node and further selecting a candidate parent node most similar to the parent node of the selected predefined transactional flow. The new transactional flows may be then generated to comprise all descendant nodes of the candidate parent node.Type: GrantFiled: April 8, 2021Date of Patent: April 9, 2024Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Sergey Zeltyn, Avi Yaeli
