Demonstration-driven Scalable Task-oriented Dialogue Modeling - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18148037 titled 'Demonstration-driven Scalable Task-oriented Dialogue Modeling

Simplified Explanation: The patent application describes methods for training a language model to predict dialog states based on input prompts and contextual representations in a conversation between a user and a service agent.

Key Features and Innovation:

  • Determining input prompts labeled with slot-value pairs related to a task.
  • Creating contextual representations from a history of exchanged utterances.
  • Training a sequence-to-sequence language model to predict dialog states.
  • Assigning values to slots based on user preferences in dialog sequences.

Potential Applications: This technology can be applied in customer service chatbots, virtual assistants, and automated helpdesk systems.

Problems Solved: This technology addresses the challenge of accurately predicting user preferences and dialog states in conversational interactions.

Benefits:

  • Improved accuracy in understanding user preferences.
  • Enhanced efficiency in providing relevant responses.
  • Better user experience in interacting with AI systems.

Commercial Applications: The technology can be used in customer service industries to automate responses, streamline interactions, and improve overall customer satisfaction.

Prior Art: Prior research in natural language processing and dialog systems may provide insights into similar approaches to predicting dialog states in conversations.

Frequently Updated Research: Stay updated on advancements in natural language processing, machine learning, and dialog systems to enhance the performance of this technology.

Questions about Dialog State Prediction: 1. How does this technology improve the accuracy of predicting dialog states in conversations? 2. What are the potential limitations of using a sequence-to-sequence language model for dialog state prediction?


Original Abstract Submitted

Example methods include determining an input prompt comprising an utterance labeled with a sequence of slot-value pairs, wherein the sequence of slot-value pairs indicates possible slots and values in the utterance, and wherein the utterance relates to a task. The methods include determining a contextual representation comprising a concatenation of a history of utterances exchanged between a user and a service agent. The utterances describe a context for the task. The methods include training, based on a concatenation of the input prompt and the contextual representation, a sequence-to-sequence language model to predict a sequence of dialog states for an input task. The sequence of dialog states comprise an assignment of values to slots for which the user has indicated a preference in dialog sequences. The methods include providing the trained sequence-to-sequence language model.
