Abstract: Methods and systems include determining that a query is relevant to information that is unknown to a pre-trained language model. Outputs from adapter layers are added to outputs of respective transformer layers of the language model to infuse the language model with the information, such that the language model generates a response to the query that accounts for the information that is unknown to the pre-trained language model. An action is performed based on the response.

Abstract: Techniques for executing system actions during conversations between a human user and an autonomous conversational system are disclosed. A first generative language model processes user messages to determine user intent, while a dialog management model analyzes the intent and conversation context to identify required system actions. The system executes actions by retrieving parameters from context, performing database queries or API calls to obtain response data, and storing results in conversation context variables. A second generative language model generates natural language responses using the action results. The system maintains conversation context including message history, action results, and state information, validates action execution, and initiates human agent handoff when needed. The system improves over time by detecting poor performance, gathering problematic conversations, and retraining using updated configurations.

Abstract: A generative model, e.g. a large language model (LLM), may be accessed by users over a network. A user might experience latency in the response from the generative model. To address the technical problem of latency, in some embodiments, the latency of the response from a first generative model is measured. If the latency falls within a particular range, then a switch to a second generative model is performed. In some embodiments, if the first generative model is not yet finished providing the response, then the partially-completed response from the first generative model is not deleted. Instead, the second generative model provides the remaining portion of the response so that the switch appears transparent and seamless to the user, and does not require restarting the generation process, thereby avoiding or mitigating the loss of already generated output and hence saving computer resources.
