  • Collaborative-filtering based user simulation for dialog systems
    Patent number: 10706086
    Abstract: Techniques for simulating a user in a conversation are described. A user simulation service and a conversation agent service conduct a dialog. The user simulation service compares a current sequence of stored labels corresponding to statements in the dialog with a plurality of candidate sequences of labels corresponding to statements in a plurality of candidate dialogs to identify a matching sequence of labels. The user simulation sequence identifies a base sequence of labels that includes the matching sequence of labels to identify a label corresponding to an act in the base sequence of labels following the matching sequence of labels. The user simulation service issues the act to the conversation agent service to be used as a simulated user act.
