Solution Overview

Problem

Current natural language systems struggle to maintain dialogue consistency in interactions with human participants, often providing unproductive and irrelevant responses.

Innovation Solution

A system utilizing response-routing machine learning models to evaluate query appropriateness, select relevant query response modules, and retrieve dialogue history candidates to ensure consistent responses, incorporating features like emotional state and domain-specific weighting.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If current natural language systems process requests using basic methods, then system simplicity is maintained, but response relevance and dialogue consistency deteriorate

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedialogue consistencyVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system segments the dialogue processing task into multiple specialized modules: a response-routing ML model for evaluating query appropriateness, multiple query response modules for different response types, and a dialogue history management component. Each module handles specific aspects of dialogue processing, improving overall consistency while keeping individual modules manageable in complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The response-routing ML model acts as an intermediary that evaluates the appropriateness of different query response modules and selects the most suitable one. This intermediary layer ensures that responses are consistent with dialogue context without requiring every component to independently understand the entire dialogue state.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Reliability

If multiple query response modules are used to improve response relevance, then response quality improves, but system complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveresponse relevanceVSAvoidnumber of modules
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system dynamically selects which query response modules to activate based on the specific query and dialogue context. The response-routing ML model evaluates appropriateness scores for different modules and adapts the selection process to each interaction, allowing the system to use multiple specialized modules when needed while keeping the active module count manageable.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The system changes parameters such as the appropriateness evaluation criteria and module selection thresholds based on dialogue context. The response-routing model adjusts which modules are considered appropriate by changing evaluation parameters dynamically, allowing flexible response selection without permanently maintaining all possible module configurations.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

3Reliability

If dialogue history is retrieved and analyzed to maintain consistency, then dialogue coherence improves, but processing time increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedialogue coherenceVSAvoidprocessing time
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The system extracts only the necessary dialogue history candidates relevant to the current query rather than analyzing the entire dialogue history. The response-routing model identifies and extracts key historical context elements that are most relevant to maintaining consistency, reducing processing time while preserving coherence.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

Solution Approach 2:

The system performs partial analysis of dialogue history by retrieving a limited set of relevant history candidates rather than comprehensively analyzing all previous interactions. This partial action approach maintains adequate dialogue coherence while significantly reducing processing time compared to complete history analysis.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #16Partial or excessive action

AI summary

In an embodiment, a method includes receiving a query in a natural language dialogue and submitting first information related to the query to at least one response-routing machine learning model that is trained to evaluate an appropriateness of a set of query response modules. The method also includes selecting a plurality of query response modules from the set of query response modules and routing second information related to the query to the plurality of query response modules. The method also includes receiving a plurality of response candidates responsive to the routing. The method also includes retrieving a plurality of dialogue history candidates from a stored record of dialogue events in the natural language dialogue. The method also includes selecting a response from the plurality of response candidates based, at least in part, on the plurality of dialogue history candidates.
