Patent number: 11804225Abstract: Techniques for conversation recovery in a dialog management system are described. A system may determine, using dialog models, that a predicted action to be performed by a skill component is likely to result in an undesired response or that the skill component is unable to respond to a user input of a dialog session. Rather than informing the user that the skill component is unable to respond, the system may send data to the skill component to enable the skill component to determine a correct action responsive to the user input. The data may include an indication of the predicted action and/or entity data corresponding to the user input. The system may receive, from the skill component, response data corresponding to the user input, and may use the response data to update a dialog context for the dialog session and an inference engine of the dialog management system.Type: GrantFiled: July 14, 2021Date of Patent: October 31, 2023Assignee: Amazon Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Ashish Kumar Agrawal, Kemal Oral Cansizlar, Suranjit Adhikari, Shucheng Zhu, Raefer Christopher Gabriel, Arindam Mandal

Patent number: 11749282Abstract: A dialog system receives a user request corresponding to a dialog with a user. The dialog system processes the user request to determine multiple service providers capable of responding to the user request. The dialog system selects one service provider based on a request-to-handle score, and selects another service provider based on a satisfaction rating. The dialog system updates the dialog state based on further input provided by the user to determine an output responsive to the user request.Type: GrantFiled: May 5, 2020Date of Patent: September 5, 2023Assignee: Amazon Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Arindam Mandal, Devesh Mohan Pandey, Kjel Larsen, Prakash Krishnan, Raefer Christopher Gabriel

Patent number: 11374919Abstract: A risk management system deploys an anomaly detection method for a target data instance without explicitly storing data processing architectures in memory. The anomaly detection method determines whether the target data instance is an anomaly with respect to a reference set of data instances. In one embodiment, the anomaly detection method mimics traversal through one or more trees in an isolation forest without explicitly constructing or storing the trees of the isolation forest in memory. This allows the risk management system to avoid unnecessary storage and retrieval of parts of each tree that would not be traversed if the tree were constructed. Moreover, the anomaly detection method allows anomaly detection to be efficiently performed within memory-constrained systems.Type: GrantFiled: November 18, 2020Date of Patent: June 28, 2022Assignee: Okta, Inc.Inventor: Christopher Gabriel Leung

Patent number: 11200885Abstract: A dialog manager receives text data corresponding to a dialog with a user. Entities represented in the text data are identified. Context data relating to the dialog is maintained, which may include prior dialog, prior API calls, user profile information, or other data. Using the text data and the context data, an N-best list of one or more dialog models is selected to process the text data. After processing the text data, the outputs of the N-best models are ranked and a top-scoring output is selected. The top-scoring output may be an API call and/or an audio prompt.Type: GrantFiled: December 13, 2018Date of Patent: December 14, 2021Assignee: Amazon Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Arindam Mandal, Nikko Strom, Angeliki Metallinou, Tagyoung Chung, Dilek Hakkani-Tur, Suranjit Adhikari, Sridhar Yadav Manoharan, Ankita De, Qing Liu, Raefer Christopher Gabriel, Rohit Prasad

Patent number: 11194973Abstract: A system that can engage in a dialog with a user may select a system response to a user input based on how the system estimates a user may respond to a potential system response. Models may be trained to evaluate a potential system response in view of various available data including dialog history, entity data, etc. Each model may score the potential system response for various qualitative aspects such as whether the response is likely to be comprehensible, on-topic, interesting, likely to lead to the dialog continuing, etc. Such scores may be combined to other scores such as whether the potential response is coherent or engaging. The models may be trained using previous dialog/chatbot evaluation data. At runtime the scores may be used to select a system response to a user input as part of the dialog.Type: GrantFiled: March 25, 2019Date of Patent: December 7, 2021Assignee: Amazon Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Rahul Goel, Chandra Prakash Khatri, Tagyoung Chung, Raefer Christopher Gabriel, Anushree Venkatesh, Behnam Hedayatnia, Sanghyun Yi
