  • Patent number: 11003857
    Abstract: A method, system and computer-usable medium for augmenting the training of a conversational system. In certain embodiments, the method comprises: ingesting a training set to be used in training of the conversational system, the training set including objects for use in the training, wherein the objects include one or more object types, wherein the object types include one or more of an entity or intent; generating proposed reductions for inclusion in an augmented training set, wherein the proposed reductions include one or more of: reduction candidates generated using properties of objects included in the training set; reduction candidates obtained from search queries of one or more external resources, wherein the search queries relate to one or more objects included in the training set; filtering the proposed reductions to generate a reduced set of proposed reductions; and augmenting the training set with the reduced set of proposed reductions.
