Patent number: 11928430Abstract: Techniques are described to determine whether an input utterance is unrelated to a set of skill bots associated with a master bot. In some embodiments, a system described herein includes a training system and a master bot. The training system trains a classifier of the master bot. The training includes accessing training utterances associated with the skill bots and generating training feature vectors from the training utterances. The training further includes generating multiple set representations of the training feature vectors, where each set representation corresponds to a subset of the training feature vectors, and configuring the classifier with the set representations. The master bot accesses an input utterance and generates an input feature vector. The master bot uses the classifier to compare the input feature vector to the multiple set representations so as to determine whether the input feature falls outside and, thus, cannot be handled by the skill bots.Type: GrantFiled: September 10, 2020Date of Patent: March 12, 2024Assignee: Oracle International CorporationInventors: Crystal C.

Patent number: 11922123Abstract: Techniques for automatically switching between chatbot skills in the same domain. In one particular aspect, a method is provided that includes receiving an utterance from a user within a chatbot session, where a current skill context is a first skill and a current group context is a first group, inputting the utterance into a candidate skills model for the first group, obtaining, using the candidate skills model, a ranking of skills within the first group, determining, based on the ranking of skills, a second skill is a highest ranked skill, changing the current skill context of the chatbot session to the second skill, inputting the utterance into a candidate flows model for the second skill, obtaining, using the candidate flows model, a ranking of intents within the second skill that match the utterance, and determining, based on the ranking of intents, an intent that is a highest ranked intent.Type: GrantFiled: September 30, 2021Date of Patent: March 5, 2024Assignee: ORACLE INTERNATIONAL CORPORATIONInventors: Vishal Vishnoi, Xin Xu, Elias Luqman Jalaluddin, Srinivasa Phani Kumar Gadde, Crystal C.

Publication number: 20230252975Abstract: Techniques are described for invoking and switching between chatbots of a chatbot system. In some embodiments, the chatbot system is capable of routing an utterance received while a user is already interacting with a first chatbot in the chatbot system. For instance, the chatbot system may identify a second chatbot based on determining that (i) such an utterance is an invalid input to the first chatbot or (ii) that the first chatbot is attempting to route the utterance to a destination associated with the first chatbot. Identifying the second chatbot can involve computing, using a predictive model, separate confidence scores for the first chatbot and the second chatbot, and then determining that a confidence score for the second chatbot satisfies one or more confidence score thresholds. The utterance is then routed to the second chatbot based on the identifying of the second chatbot.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 19, 2023Publication date: August 10, 2023Applicant: Oracle International CorporationInventors: Vishal Vishnoi, Xin Xu, Srinivasa Phani Kumar Gadde, Fen Wang, Muruganantham Chinnananchi, Manish Parekh, Stephen Andrew McRitchie, Jae Min John, Crystal C.
