Abstract: Disclosed systems, devices, and methods improve dialogue management through the use of dialogue discourse trees (DDTs). To determine whether a candidate response (CR) is appropriate in the dialogue, the CR can be added to other utterances that have been previously provided in a dialogue between two parties and a dialogue discourse tree (DDT) can be generated from the result. The DDT includes nodes corresponding to elementary discourse units (EDUs) representing text fragments of the utterances and the CR. The DDT may include nodes that indicate rhetorical relationships between EDUs. In some embodiments, the DDT comprises a node representing at least one dialogue-specific rhetorical relationship between two utterances. The DDT for the CR can be provided to a machine-learning model that has been trained to identify whether the rhetorical flow is maintained between the utterances of the DDT. If so, the CR can be provided in response to the request.

Abstract: The general problem of pattern change discovery between high-dimensional data sets is addressed by considering the notion of the principal angles between the subspaces is introduced to measure the subspace difference between two high-dimensional data sets. Current methods either mainly focus on magnitude change detection of low-dimensional data sets or are under supervised frameworks. Principal angles bear a property to isolate subspace change from the magnitude change. To address the challenge of directly computing the principal angles, matrix factorization is used to serve as a statistical framework and develop the principle of the dominant subspace mapping to transfer the principal angle based detection to a matrix factorization problem. Matrix factorization can be naturally embedded into the likelihood ratio test based on the linear models. The method may be unsupervised and addresses the statistical significance of the pattern changes between high-dimensional data sets.

If validated, the content selection graph can be used to rapidly return response data when content from the graph is requested.
