Building conversational understanding systems using a toolset

摘要

Tools are provided to allow developers to enable applications for Conversational Understanding (CU) using assets from a CU service. The tools may be used to select functionality from existing domains, extend the coverage of one or more domains, as well as to create new domains in the CU service. A developer may provide example Natural Language (NL) sentences that are analyzed by the tools to assist the developer in labeling data that is used to update the models in the CU service. For example, the tools may assist a developer in identifying domains, determining intent actions, determining intent objects and determining slots from example NL sentences. After the developer tags all or a portion of the example NL sentences, the models in the CU service are automatically updated and validated. For example, validation tools may be used to determine an accuracy of the model against test data.

主权项

1. A computer implemented method for enabling an application for Conversational Understanding (CU) using assets in a CU service, comprising:
receiving a selection of Application Programming Interfaces (APIs) that are associated with a domain to use in the application; automatically updating models for the CU service based on the selection of the APIs and the determined domain; receiving a Natural Language (“NL”) expression, wherein the NL expression may be used to interact with the application; rephrasing the NL expressions to generate at least one additional expression, wherein the at least one additional expression contains a different, way of expressing a meaning of the NL expression; and automatic updating the models for CU service based on the rephrased NL expressions; making the models available to the CU service.
