434 results about "Chatbot" patented technology

A chatbot is a piece of software that conducts a conversation via auditory or textual methods. Such programs are often designed to convincingly simulate how a human would behave as a conversational partner, although as of 2019, they are far short of being able to pass the Turing test. Chatbots are typically used in dialog systems for various practical purposes including customer service or information acquisition. Some chatbots use sophisticated natural language processing systems, but many simpler ones scan for keywords within the input, then pull a reply with the most matching keywords, or the most similar wording pattern, from a database.

Knowledge graph assisted large language models

Techniques for a knowledge-graph system to use large language models (LLMs) to build knowledge graphs to answer queries submitted to a chatbot by users. The knowledge-graph system builds the knowledge graph using answers produced by an LLM for novel queries. The chatbot will continue to use the LLM to answer novel queries, but the chatbot may harness the knowledge graph to answer repeat questions to gain various efficiencies over LLM-backed chatbots. For example, the knowledge-graph system may easily debug or otherwise improve the answers in knowledge graphs, store provenance information in knowledge graphs, and augment the knowledge graphs using other data sources. Thus, the reliability and correctness of chatbots will be improved as the bugs and inaccuracies in answers provided by the LLM will be corrected in the knowledge graphs, but the chatbots can still harness the abilities of LLMs to provide answers across various subject-matter domains.
