LANGUAGE-UNDERSTANDING TRAINING DATABASE ACTION PAIR AUGMENTATION USING BIDIRECTIONAL TRANSLATION
First Claim
1. A method for augmenting an initial training database, comprising:
- receiving a training example in a first language from the initial training database, wherein said training example is from an action pair comprising the training example and an action command associated with the training example;
translating the training example to a second language output;
translating the second language output to a first variant of the training example; and
storing an augmented action pair including the first variant of the training example and the action command associated with the training example in an augmented training database.

Abstract
Embodiments of the present invention relate to a method and system for augmenting a training database of an automated language-understanding system. In one embodiment, a training example in a first language is received from the training database. The first language-training example is translated to a second language output. The second language output is translated to a first variant of the first language-training example. An action pair including the first variant of the first language-training example and an action command associated with the first language-training example is stored in an augmented training database.
