Publication number: 20230206087Abstract: Techniques disclosed herein relate generally to constructing a customized knowledge graph. In one embodiment, entities and relations among entities are extracted from a user dataset based on certain rules to generate a seed graph. Large-scale knowledge graphs are then traversed using a finite state machine to identify candidate entities and/or relations to add to the seed graph. A priority function is used to select entities and/or relations from the candidate entities and/or relations. The selected entities and/or relations are then added to the seed graph to generate the customized knowledge graph.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 3, 2023Publication date: June 29, 2023Applicant: Oracle International CorporationInventors: Gautam Singaraju, Prithviraj Venkata Ammanabrolu

Publication number: 20220058347Abstract: A chatbot system is configured to execute code to perform determining, by the chatbot system, a classification result for an utterance and one or more anchors each anchor of the one or more anchors corresponding to one or more anchor words of the utterance. For each anchor of the one or more anchors, one or more synthetic utterances are generated, and one or more classification results for the one or more synthetic utterances are determined. A report is generated by the chatbot system comprising a representation of a particular anchor of the one or more anchors, the particular anchor corresponding to a highest confidence value among the one or more anchors. The one or more synthetic utterances may be used to generate a new training dataset for training a machine-learning model. The training dataset may be refined according to a threshold confidence values to filter out datasets for training.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 20, 2021Publication date: February 24, 2022Applicant: Oracle International CorporationInventors: Gautam Singaraju, Vishal Vishnoi, Manish Parekh, Alexander Wang

Publication number: 20190102701Abstract: Techniques disclosed herein relate to generating a hierarchical classification model that includes a plurality of classification models. The hierarchical classification model is configured to classify an input into a class in a plurality of classes and includes a tree structure. The tree structure includes leaf nodes and non-leaf nodes. Each non-leaf node has two child nodes associated with two respective sets of classes in the plurality of classes, where a difference between numbers of classes in the two sets of classes is zero or one. Each leaf node is associated with at least two but fewer than a first threshold number of classes. Each of the leaf nodes and non-leaf nodes is associated with a classification model in the plurality of classification models of the hierarchical classification model. The classification model associated with each respective node in the tree structure can be trained independently.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 28, 2018Publication date: April 4, 2019Applicant: Oracle International CorpoationInventors: Gautam Singaraju, Jiarui Ding, Sangameswaran Viswanathan

Publication number: 20190103095Abstract: Techniques disclosed herein relate to improving quality of classification models for differentiating different user intents by improving the quality of training samples used to train the classification models. Pairs of user intents that are difficult to differentiate by classification models trained using the given training samples are identified based upon distinguishability scores (e.g., F-scores). For each of the identified pairs of intents, pairs of training samples each including a training sample associated with a first intent and a training sample associated with a second intent in the pair of intents are ranked based upon a similarity score between the two training samples in each pair of training samples. The identified pairs of intents and the pairs of training samples having the highest similarity scores may be presented to users through a user interface, along with user-selectable options or suggestions for improving the training samples.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 28, 2018Publication date: April 4, 2019Applicant: Oracle International CorporationInventors: Gautam Singaraju, Jiarui Ding, Vishal Vishnoi, Mark Joseph Sugg, Edward E.

Publication number: 20210083994Abstract: Techniques are described to determine whether an input utterance is unrelated to a set of skill bots associated with a master bot. In some embodiments, a system described herein includes a training system and a master bot. The training system trains a classifier of the master bot. The training includes accessing training utterances associated with the skill bots and generating training feature vectors from the training utterances. The training further includes generating multiple set representations of the training feature vectors, where each set representation corresponds to a subset of the training feature vectors, and configuring the classifier with the set representations. The master bot accesses an input utterance and generates an input feature vector. The master bot uses the classifier to compare the input feature vector to the multiple set representations so as to determine whether the input feature falls outside and, thus, cannot be handled by the skill bots.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 10, 2020Publication date: March 18, 2021Applicant: Oracle International CorporationInventors: Crystal C.

Publication number: 20230252975Abstract: Techniques are described for invoking and switching between chatbots of a chatbot system. In some embodiments, the chatbot system is capable of routing an utterance received while a user is already interacting with a first chatbot in the chatbot system. For instance, the chatbot system may identify a second chatbot based on determining that (i) such an utterance is an invalid input to the first chatbot or (ii) that the first chatbot is attempting to route the utterance to a destination associated with the first chatbot. Identifying the second chatbot can involve computing, using a predictive model, separate confidence scores for the first chatbot and the second chatbot, and then determining that a confidence score for the second chatbot satisfies one or more confidence score thresholds. The utterance is then routed to the second chatbot based on the identifying of the second chatbot.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 19, 2023Publication date: August 10, 2023Applicant: Oracle International CorporationInventors: Vishal Vishnoi, Xin Xu, Srinivasa Phani Kumar Gadde, Fen Wang, Muruganantham Chinnananchi, Manish Parekh, Stephen Andrew McRitchie, Jae Min John, Crystal C.
