TRANSITIONING BETWEEN PRIOR DIALOG CONTEXTS WITH AUTOMATED ASSISTANTS - A simplified explanation of the abstract
- This abstract for appeared for US patent application number 18214404 Titled 'TRANSITIONING BETWEEN PRIOR DIALOG CONTEXTS WITH AUTOMATED ASSISTANTS'
Simplified Explanation
This abstract describes techniques for retrieving prior context in an automated assistant. During a conversation between a user and the assistant, the user's input is used to generate a dialog context, which includes the user's intentions and associated information. Additional inputs can be used to generate a new dialog context that is different from the previous one. If the user commands the assistant to go back to the previous context, the assistant generates natural language output that conveys the intentions and information from that context, which is then presented to the user.
Original Abstract Submitted
Techniques are described related to prior context retrieval with an automated assistant. In various implementations, instance(s) of free-form natural language input received from a user during a human-to-computer dialog session between the user and an automated assistant may be used to generate a first dialog context. The first dialog context may include intent(s) and slot value(s) associated with the intent(s). Similar operations may be performed with additional inputs to generate a second dialog context that is semantically distinct from the first dialog context. When a command is received from the user to transition the automated assistant back to the first dialog context, natural language output may be generated that conveys at least one or more of the intents of the first dialog context and one or more of the slot values of the first dialog context. This natural language output may be presented to the user.
