  • Patent number: 11081108
    Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure disclose an interaction method and apparatus. A specific embodiment of the method includes: generating, in response to determining that a request input by a user satisfies a guiding condition, guiding information, and feeding back the guiding information to the user, the guiding condition including one of the following: associating with a plurality of query intents, or associating with no query intent; and generating, based on the request and a feedback input by the user corresponding to the guiding information, an intent-clear request, and feeding back push information bound with the intent-clear request to the user. Realizing that in the process of interacting with the user, for conditions such as the request input by the user is associated with a plurality of query intents or incompleteness, an intent-clear request associated with an explicit query intent is determined through the interaction with the user.
