Abstract: In an approach for improving the identification of textual resources that contain unrelated and imprecise contents to improve a user's understanding of a conversational system, one or more computer processors extracts a domain keyword from a domain model and retrieves a distributed representation associated with the domain keyword. The one or more computer processors generates a cluster resource based on the distributed representation and creates a resource vector associated with the cluster resource by calculating the resource vector. The one or more computer processors applies the resource vector to a conversational system and simulates a runtime user interaction based on reinforcement learning of the resource vector to further label and refine resource vector. The one or more computer processors outputs a labeled and refined resource vector to aid in understanding of the conversational system.

Abstract: A computer-implemented method, apparatus, computer program product for intervention in a conversation between a virtual agent and a user is disclosed. In the computer-implemented method, a risk level of the conversation is evaluated. In response to the risk level being higher than a threshold, it is indicated that the conversation needs an intervention by a human agent. In response to the human agent intervening in the conversation, the conversation is handed over from the virtual agent to the human agent. Then, a simulative conversation is generated according to the conversation between the user and the human agent. In response to a determination by the human agent based on the simulative conversation, the conversation is handed over from the human agent to the virtual agent.
