  • Building a knowledge base taxonomy from structured or unstructured computer text for use in automated user interactions
    Patent number: 11328707
    Abstract: Methods and apparatuses are described for building a knowledge base taxonomy from structured or unstructured computer text for use in automated user interactions. A server computing device receives one or more of structured text or unstructured text corresponding to historical user interaction data from a database. The server computing device extracts one or more terms from the received text that are most relevant to a subject matter domain. The server computing device organizes the extracted one or more terms into a taxonomy data structure.
