  • Conversational system user behavior identification
    Patent number: 10691896
    Abstract: Examples of the present disclosure describe systems and methods relating to conversational system user behavior identification. A user of the conversational system may be evaluated based on one or more factors. The one or more factors may be compared to an aggregated measure for a larger group of conversational system users, such that “anomalous” behavior (e.g., behavior that deviates from a normal behavior) may be identified. When a user is identified as exhibiting anomalous behavior, the conversational system may adapt its interactions with the user in order to encourage, discourage, or further observe the identified behavior. As a result, the conversational system may be able to verify a user's anomalous behavior, discourage the anomalous behavior, or take other action while interacting with the user.
