Learning from interactions for a spoken dialog system
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method comprising:
- obtaining, during an unsupervised classification phase of a spoken dialog system, a semantic classifier input and a corresponding label attributed to the semantic classifier input;
determining, via a processor, whether the corresponding label is correct based on logged interaction data, to yield a correctness result, wherein the logged interaction data comprises;
data describing user speech;
a non-speech user action indicating one of a negative training example and a positive training example; and
an input/output pair having an input and an output, the input comprising a speech recognition result in a lattice form and the output comprising one of an outcome of a call, a confirmation by a user, and a call hang-up, the output being a result of the input;
generating an entry for an adaptation corpus based on the correctness result; and
adapting operation of a semantic classifier based on the adaptation corpus.

Abstract
In one embodiment, a semantic classifier input and a corresponding label attributed to the semantic classifier input may be obtained. A determination may be made whether the corresponding label is correct based on logged interaction data. An entry of an adaptation corpus may be generated based on a result of the determination. Operation of the semantic classifier may be adapted based on the adaptation corpus.

6. A system comprising:
-
a processor; and a computer-readable storage medium having instructions stored which, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to perform operations comprising; obtaining, during an unsupervised classification phase of a spoken dialog system, a semantic classifier input and a corresponding label attributed to the semantic classifier input; determining, via a processor, whether the corresponding label is correct based on logged interaction data, to yield a correctness result, wherein the logged interaction data comprises; data describing user speech; a non-speech user action indicating one of a negative training example and a positive training example; and an input/output pair having an input and an output, the input comprising a speech recognition result in a lattice form and the output comprising one of an outcome of a call, a confirmation by a user, and a call hang-up, the output being a result of the input; generating an entry for an adaptation corpus based on the correctness result; and adapting operation of a semantic classifier based on the adaptation corpus. - View Dependent Claims (7, 8, 9, 10, 11)
