  • Training a user-system dialog in a task-oriented dialog system
    Patent number: 11961509
    Abstract: Methods and systems are disclosed for improving dialog management for task-oriented dialog systems. The disclosed dialog builder leverages machine teaching processing to improve development of dialog managers. In this way, the dialog builder combines the strengths of both rule-based and machine-learned approaches to allow dialog authors to: (1) import a dialog graph developed using popular dialog composers, (2) convert the dialog graph to text-based training dialogs, (3) continuously improve the trained dialogs based on log dialogs, and (4) generate a corrected dialog for retraining the machine learning.

  • HYBRID TRANSFORMER-BASED DIALOG PROCESSOR
    Publication number: 20230153348
    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for determining a response to a query in a dialog. An entity extractor extracts rules and conditions associated with the query and determines a particular task. The disclosed technology generates a transformer-based dialog embedding by pre-training a transformer using dialog corpora including a plurality of tasks. A task-specific classifier generates a first set of candidate responses based on rules and conditions associated with the task. The transformer-based dialog embedding generates a second set of candidate responses to the query. The classifier accommodates changes made to a task by an interactive dialog editor as machine teaching. A response generator generates a response based on the first and second sets of candidate responses using an optimization function.
