Abstract: A system and method for updating computerized language models is provided that automatically adds or deletes terms from the language model to capture trending events or products, while maximizing computer efficiencies by deleting terms that are no longer trending and use of knowledge bases, machine learning model training and evaluation corpora, analysis tools and databases.

Abstract: According to principles described herein, a system applies Active Learning methodology to multiple models simultaneously. The system includes a means to distribute the sample selection algorithm across large pools of unlabeled data and a automatic model training deployed on hardware matched to the model type that scales to large volumes of data without consuming all resources.

Abstract: Virtual assistants intelligently emulate a representative of a service provider by providing variable responses to user queries received via the virtual assistants. These variable responses may take the context of a user's query into account both when identifying an intent of a user's query and when identifying an appropriate response to the user's query.

Abstract: A real-time conversation is monitored between a user and an intelligent virtual assistant (IVA). A visualization may be generated and displayed to the user on the user computing device based on one or more topics identified in the conversation. The conversation between the user and the IVA may continue and is continued to be monitored. The visualization can be updated as the conversation continues, e.g., based on further topics being identified.

Abstract: To prevent intent classifiers from potentially choosing intents that are ineligible for the current input due to policies, dynamic intent classification systems and methods are provided that dynamically control the possible set of intents using environment variables (also referred to as external variables). Associations between environment variables and ineligible intents, referred to as culling rules, are used.

Abstract: A scalable system provides automated conversation review that can identify potential miscommunications. The system may provide suggested actions to fix errors in intelligent virtual assistant (IVA) understanding, may prioritize areas of language model repair, and may automate the review of conversations. By the use of an automated system for conversation review, problematic interactions can be surfaced without exposing the entire set of conversation logs to human reviewers, thereby minimizing privacy invasion. A scalable system processes conversations and autonomously marks the interactions where the IVA is misunderstanding the user.

Abstract: Attention weights in a hierarchical attention network indicate the relative importance of portions of a conversation between an individual at one terminal and a computer or a human agent at another terminal. Weighting the portions of the conversation after converting the conversation to a standard text format allows for a computer to graphically highlight, by color, font, or other indicator visible on a graphical user interface, which portions of a conversation led to an escalation of the interaction from an intelligent virtual assistant to a human customer service agent.

Abstract: Provided is a system and method for adapting analysis to user profiles to reduce bias in customer or user generated content, specifically a system and method that discounts or adjusts bias in sentiment data based on the channel from which the content was received and/or the demographic of the user. The system includes a means to detect bias for any product, service, or company across multiple channels of customer data; a means to construct models to quantize bias by specific demographics and channels; and a means to adjust model output to reduce inflation by biased groups.

Abstract: Disclosed are a framework and method for selecting an anomaly detection method for each of a plurality of class of time series based on characteristics a time series example that represents an expected form of data. The method provides classification of a given time series into one of known classes based on expected properties of the time series, filtering the set of possible detection methods based on the time series class, evaluating the remaining detection methods on the given time series using the specific evaluation metric and selecting and returning a recommended anomaly detection method based on the specific evaluation metric.

Abstract: Hybrid natural language understanding (NLU) systems and methods are provided that capitalize on the strengths of the rule-based models and the statistical models, lowering the cost of development and increasing the speed of construction, without sacrificing control and accuracy. Two models are used for intent recognition, one statistical and one rule-based. Both models define the same set of intents, but the rule-based model is devoid of any grammars or patterns initially. Each model may or may not be hierarchical in that it may be composed of a set of specialized models that are in a tree form or it may be just a singular model.
