  • Publication number: 20200250489
    Abstract: A computer implemented method, computer system and computer program product are provided for transferring in a BOT conversation. According to the method, a user input is received, by a device operatively coupled to one or more processing units, from a user. A first response from a conversation BOT responding to the user input is obtained by the device. The first response is evaluated by the device according to configured rules to determine whether a human agent is needed, wherein the evaluation according to at least one of the configured rules is carried out by a trained engine of a reinforcement learning model. Finally, responding to determine the human agent is needed, a transferring recommendation is sent to the user by the device.

  • Publication number: 20200218780
    Abstract: Systems and method for automated contextual dialog generation for cognitive conversations include embedding a natural language sentence input by a user into a corresponding sentence vector using a sentence embedder. A context array is generated using a contextual sentence embedder to embed the sentence vector and previous sentence vectors of a conversation history into a context array. Response words are predicted from the sentence vector by performing sequence-to-sequence dialog prediction with a dialog prediction network. Context of the input sentence is quantified by extracting context features from the context array using a situation quantification network. A response dialog is generated in natural language to display to a user, the response dialog responding to the input sentence with a response generator by determining a dialog state including the response words and the quantified context and optimizing the response dialog with reinforcement learning corresponding to the dialog state.
