Embodiment Construction

[0018] The present technology provides a system that allows non-engineer administrators to extend the capabilities of dialog systems without knowledge of programming, machine language, or artificial intelligence systems. A dialog system can have a knowledge system, a user interface, and a learning model. The user interface allows non-engineers to annotate user utterances with a knowledge system defined by a small set of primitives and simple language. Annotating can include selecting actions to take based on utterances and subsequent actions, as well as configuring associations. As actions and associations occur, the dialog state is continuously updated and provided to the user. Generate rules that allow various outcomes to be computed based on actions, associations, and dialog states.

[0019] The scalable dialog system described herein has advantages over prior art systems. Prior art speech generation systems cannot be expanded in a manner that allows non-expert administr...

Abstract

A system that allows non-engineers administrators, without programming, machine language, or artificial intelligence system knowledge, to expand the capabilities of a dialogue system. The dialogue system may have a knowledge system, user interface, and learning model. A user interface allows non-engineers to utilize the knowledge system, defined by a small set of primitives and a simple language,to annotate a user utterance. The annotation may include selecting actions to take based on the utterance and subsequent actions and configuring associations. A dialogue state is continuously updatedand provided to the user as the actions and associations take place. Rules are generated based on the actions, associations and dialogue state that allows for computing a wide range of results.

Description

[0001] Cross References to Related Applications [0002] This application claims the benefit of priority to U.S. Provisional Patent Application No. 62 / 462,736, filed February 23, 2017, entitled "Expandable Dialogue Systems," the disclosure of which is incorporated herein. Background technique [0003] Prior art speech generation systems cannot be expanded in a manner that allows non-expert administrators to expand the capabilities of the system. In contrast, changes and modifications to prior art dialog systems require significant engineering and developer resources and time. A general problem with goal-oriented dialogue systems such as performing actions in the world (actions querying an API) is that they are limited by constraints on composition and predefined dialogue patterns. Composition is important to support rich functionality from a small number of primitives. However, to limit combinatorial explosions when learning from weak supervision, constrained grammars are o...
