CONTEXTUAL DIALOGUE FRAMEWORK OVER DYNAMIC TABLES - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17543257 titled 'CONTEXTUAL DIALOGUE FRAMEWORK OVER DYNAMIC TABLES

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes a method, system, and computer program for providing a contextual dialogue framework over dynamic tables. Here are the key points:

  • The method involves maintaining a context space for a natural language conversation, which includes a dynamic set of tables used for processing queries.
  • An additional table associated with a query is obtained during the conversation.
  • Implicit links between the additional table and the dynamic set of tables are discovered.
  • The context space is updated with these implicit links.
  • The additional query is answered based on the updated context space.

Potential applications of this technology:

  • Natural language processing systems: This technology can be used to enhance natural language processing systems by providing a contextual dialogue framework over dynamic tables.
  • Virtual assistants: Virtual assistants can benefit from this technology by being able to process and answer queries in a more context-aware manner.

Problems solved by this technology:

  • Contextual understanding: The technology solves the problem of understanding the context of a natural language conversation by maintaining a dynamic set of tables and discovering implicit links between them.
  • Efficient query processing: By updating the context space with implicit links, the technology enables more efficient processing of queries in a natural language conversation.

Benefits of this technology:

  • Improved accuracy: By considering the context of a conversation, the technology can provide more accurate answers to queries.
  • Enhanced user experience: Users interacting with systems or virtual assistants using this technology can have a more seamless and context-aware conversation experience.


Original Abstract Submitted

Methods, systems, and computer program products for providing a contextual dialogue framework over dynamic tables are provided herein. A computer-implemented method includes maintaining a context space for a natural language conversation of a user, wherein the context space comprises a dynamic set of one or more tables used for processing at least one query of the natural language conversation; obtaining an additional table associated with an additional query of the natural language conversation; discovering one or more implicit links between the additional table and the dynamic set of tables; updating the context space with the one or more implicit links; and answering the additional query based at least in part on the updated context space.
