  • Publication number: 20230401445
    Abstract: A processing unit can train a model as a joint multi-domain recurrent neural network (JRNN), such as a bi-directional recurrent neural network (bRNN) and/or a recurrent neural network with long-short term memory (RNN-LSTM) for spoken language understanding (SLU). The processing unit can use the trained model to, e.g., jointly model slot filling, intent determination, and domain classification. The joint multi-domain model described herein can estimate a complete semantic frame per query, and the joint multi-domain model enables multi-task deep learning leveraging the data from multiple domains. The joint multi-domain recurrent neural (JRNN) can leverage semantic intents (such as, finding or identifying, e.g., a domain specific goal) and slots (such as, dates, times, locations, subjects, etc.) across multiple domains.

  • Publication number: 20230334313
    Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed for inquiry-based deep learning. In one implementation, a first content segment is selected from a body of content. The content segment includes a first content element. The first content segment is compared to a second content segment to identify a content element present in the first content segment that is not present in the second content segment. Based on an identification of the content element present in the first content segment that is not present in the second content segment, the content element is stored in a session memory. A first question is generated based on the first content segment. The session memory is processed to compute an answer to the first question. An action is initiated based on the answer. Using deep learning, content segments can be encoded into memory. Incremental questioning can serve to focus various deep learning operations on certain content segments.

  • Patent number: 11449744
    Abstract: A processing unit can extract salient semantics to model knowledge carryover, from one turn to the next, in multi-turn conversations. Architecture described herein can use the end-to-end memory networks to encode inputs, e.g., utterances, with intents and slots, which can be stored as embeddings in memory, and in decoding the architecture can exploit latent contextual information from memory, e.g., demographic context, visual context, semantic context, etc. e.g., via an attention model, to leverage previously stored semantics for semantic parsing, e.g., for joint intent prediction and slot tagging. In examples, architecture is configured to build an end-to-end memory network model for contextual, e.g., multi-turn, language understanding, to apply the end-to-end memory network model to multiple turns of conversational input; and to fill slots for output of contextual, e.g., multi-turn, language understanding of the conversational input.
