  • Patent number: 11106871
    Abstract: Systems and methods for a configurable response-action engine are provided. Actions are generated for a conversation when an insight is received from a natural language processing system. Industry, segment, client specific instructions, third party data, a state for the lead and lead historical patterns are also received. A decision making action model is tuned using this information. An objective for the conversation may be extracted from the state information for the lead. The tuned model is then applied to the insight and objective to output an action. A response message may be generated for the action. The action is directed to cause a state transition of the lead to a preferred state. In another embodiment, systems and methods are presented for feature extraction from one or more messages. In yet other embodiments, systems and methods for message cadence optimization are provided.

  • Publication number: 20200143247
    Abstract: Systems and methods for generating intents for a response is provided. The tokens of the response is encoded into a dense vector space as a plurality of vectors. Name entities are extracted, and individual sentences and paragraphs are both classified in response to the vectors. In addition to the tokens being represented in the vector space, the sentences and paragraphs may be represented in the vector space. The entities and intents are then used to determine an action for the system according to a policy that is optimized for. Annotations may be requested when the classifications are below thresholds, and these annotations may be employed in the action determination process. Annotation includes receiving an annotation work in an annotation queue, prioritizing the annotations, and sending the highest priority annotations to the annotator in order. This is used to update the production annotation database.

  • Publication number: 20190179903
    Abstract: Systems and methods for improvements in AI model learning and updating are provided. The model updating may reuse existing business conversations as the training data set. Features within the dataset may be defined and extracted. Models may be selected and parameters for the models defined. Within a distributed computing setting the parameters may be optimized, and the models deployed. The training data may be augmented over time to improve the models. Deep learning models may be employed to improve system accuracy, as can active learning techniques. The models developed and updated may be employed by a response system generally, or may function to enable specific types of AI systems. One such a system may be an AI assistant that is designed to take use cases and objectives, and execute tasks until the objectives are met. Another system capable of leveraging the models includes an automated question answering system utilizing approved answers.
