  • Patent number: 11087092
    Abstract: Approaches for determining a response for an agent in an undirected dialogue are provided. The approaches include a dialogue generating framework comprising an encoder neural network, a decoder neural network, and a language model neural network. The dialogue generating framework generates a sketch sentence response with at least one slot. The sketch sentence response is generated word by word and takes into account the undirected dialogue and agent traits of the agent making the response. The dialogue generating framework generates sentence responses by filling the slot with words from the agent traits. The dialogue generating framework ranks the sentence responses according to perplexity by passing the sentence responses through a language model and selects a final response which is a sentence response that has a lowest perplexity.
