Publication number: 20250103621Abstract: In an approach to improve prompt variations to enhance user-based experiences while interacting with artificial intelligent (AI) systems, embodiments generate variations of the prompts associated with the initial input by automatically leveraging machine learning techniques and collect the prompts from a user resulting from an interaction with an artificial intelligent (AI) system. Further, embodiments, identify a heuristic to organize suggestions and the variations of the prompts, and determine and utilize the heuristic to organize the variations of the prompts in systematic categories to produce an efficient display of the variations of the prompts, in a graphic user interface (GUI), for the user to view. Additionally, embodiments, update the variations of the prompts based on identified interaction data from the user, and dynamically output the updated variations of the prompts in response to the identified and collected user data.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 22, 2023Publication date: March 27, 2025Inventors: Qian Pan, Hyo Jin Do, Zahra Ashktorab, Michael Desmond, James Johnson, Casey Dugan

Publication number: 20240333666Abstract: Provided are techniques for moderating Artificial Intelligence (AI) agent interlocution in group dialog environments. Under control of an interlocution module that has been trained with dialog content and dialog turns, an indication that interlocution is to be determined for a group dialog is received. Under control of the interlocution module, it is determined whether an AI agent is to participate in the group dialog based on a current dialog context and a dialog response. Under control of the interlocution module, in response to determining that the AI agent is to participate in the group dialog, the AI agent is triggered to post the dialog response to the group dialog.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 29, 2023Publication date: October 3, 2024Inventors: Michael Desmond, Zahra Ashktorab, Michelle Brachman, James Johnson, Casey Dugan, Qian Pan

Publication number: 20240282299Abstract: A present invention embodiment analyzes user input via natural language processing. A natural language utterance from a user is analyzed to determine one or more computing tasks. the natural language utterance is analyzed using a knowledge base to identify one or more modifications to the natural language utterance that are based on previous user modifications to a previous user utterance. An indication that the user accepted at least one modification of the one or more modifications is received, wherein the at least one modification modifies the one or more computing tasks. The modified one or more computing tasks are executed.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 22, 2023Publication date: August 22, 2024Inventors: Michelle Brachman, James Johnson, Qian Pan, Casey Dugan

Patent number: 11824819Abstract: A method, a computer program product, and a computer system generate an accurate mental model of an automated agent. The method includes receiving an input from a user device associated with a user during a communication session between the user and the automated agent. The method includes determining a response to the input. The method includes determining a confidence score of the response relative to a confidence threshold. The method includes determining an assertiveness feature associated with the response, the assertiveness feature comprising an expression of the automated agent based on the confidence score. The method includes transmitting the response and the assertiveness feature to the user device, the expression configured to update anthropomorphic characteristics of a graphical representation of the automated agent shown on a graphical user interface of the communication session displayed on a display device of the user device.Type: GrantFiled: January 26, 2022Date of Patent: November 21, 2023Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Qian Pan, James Johnson, Zahra Ashktorab, Dakuo Wang
