  • Publication number: 20230173392
    Abstract: A video game system provides dialog responses based on a natural language model (NLM). The NLM is a language model that receives a language input, such as a dialog selection, audio recording, or natural language text input provided by a user of the video game system. In response to the language input, and based on a corpus of natural language candidate lines, the NLM identifies one or more potential responses. The video game system selects a final response from the identified potential responses and provides the selected response to the user via, for example, one or more display frames or via an audio output.
