Patent number: 11886823Abstract: An approach is described with respect to dynamically constructing and configuring a conversational agent learning model. Various aspects of the conversational agent learning model may be constructed and updated without continuous intervention of a domain administrator. A method pertaining to such approach may include retrieving a corpus of information. The corpus of information may include records from a set of repositories and external data, including data from social networks or applications. The method further may include configuring the conversational agent learning model based upon the retrieved corpus of information. The method further may include deploying the conversational agent learning model by facilitating interaction between the conversational agent learning model and a plurality of clients. The method further may include updating the conversational agent learning model to address any modification to the corpus of information.Type: GrantFiled: February 1, 2018Date of Patent: January 30, 2024Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Giuseppe Ciano, Pietro Marella, Leonardo Modeo, Luigi Pichetti
