TECHNICAL FIELD

The inventions herein relate generally to the virtual assistant field, and more specifically to a new and useful system and method for generating and deploying human-personified artificially intelligent virtual agents using machine learning.

BACKGROUND

Modern virtual assistants may typically be employed to perform various tasks or services based on an interaction with a user. Typically, a user interacting with a virtual assistant may pose a question, a message, or otherwise submit an input to the virtual assistant, to which, the virtual assistant may provide a response or perform some action as a result of the user input. Many of these virtual assistants may typically be portrayed as a user interface object, such as a chat window or may include an animated computer object that lack real human features and real human mannerisms. As a result, a significant class of users fail to fully engage with the virtual assistant and may continue to prefer interactions that involve a real human agent.
Therefore, an inability of chatbot or virtual assistant systems in their ability to relate to human users may continue to act as a barrier for mass adoption of often helpful automated chat systems. automated engagement (human agent) (compromise, not relatable, human sounding; interactive human chatbot
However, a virtual assistant or automated interaction system personified with real human response may create a more personable and engaging conversation which may increase the likelihood of a user's satisfaction with its response and interactions and therefore, reducing interaction loads on often limited real human agents.
Therefore, there is a need in the virtual assistant field to generate human-personified virtual assistants that deliver interactive automated human engagement with relatable personal features (e.g., a human, voice, human voice, human mannerisms, etc.). The embodiments of the present application described herein provide technical solutions that address, at least, the needs described above, as well as the deficiencies of the state of the art.

However, any suitable machine learning approach can otherwise be incorporated in the system 100. Further, any suitable model (e.g., machine learning, non-machine learning, etc.) may be implemented in the various systems and/or methods described herein.

Accordingly, in one or more preferred embodiments, the response collection module 150 may be configured to collect and/or store the constructed response corpus generated by the response development module 110 and the embedded response representations of the response corpus computed by the embedding service 120.
Additionally, in one or more preferred embodiments, the response collection module 150 may be combinable (or associated) with the selected or the identified machine learning virtual agent model(s) 140 (e.g., the pre-trained language processing models) outputted by the model accessibility/development engine 130 to form the underlying structure of the virtual dialogue agent 160.
2. Method for Configuring a Human-Personified Machine Learning Virtual Agent
As shown in FIG. 2 , the method 200 for configuring a machine learning-based human-personified virtual agent includes creating a video response corpus S210, intelligently processing the video response corpus S220, and computing and storing embedding values based on the video response corpus S230. The method 200 optionally includes creating a mapping of embedded response representations of the video response corpus S235.

2.10 Creating a Video Response Corpus|Media Corpus

S210, which includes identifying and/or creating a video response corpus, may function to create a plurality of expected and/or desired video responses to user stimulus or user utterances to a virtual agent. In a preferred embodiment, video responses may be created and/or obtained from any suitable source including, but not limited to, human agent responses, manuscripts, transcriptions, any video storage database, and/or the like. An expected and/or desired video response may sometimes be referred to herein as a “video response item” or a “video response imprint”. A video response imprint preferably includes a recording or imprintation of a human providing a response to a query, utterance, user communication, or the like.
In a first implementation, a video response imprint may be created by an abridged recording, as shown by way of example in FIG. 4 . In such implementation, a human agent or a subscriber may create and/or upload one or more video response imprints that may include one or more short or abridged videos of themselves and/or another person responding to an expected user stimulus and/or utterance. Further, in such implementation, an “abridged recording” or “single response recording” as referred to herein preferably relates to a video recording response imprint that includes a single expected or desired response to user stimulus.
In a second implementation, video response imprints may be obtained by an extended recording, as shown by way of example in FIG. 5 . In such implementation, subscribers may create and/or upload video response imprints of recordings from a longer or extended video of themselves and/or another person responding to one or more expected user stimulus' and/or utterances. Additionally, or alternatively, as will be further described below (e.g., in S222), longer video response imprints may be partitioned into smaller video response (sub-)imprints. Further, in such implementation, an “extended recording,” as referred to herein, preferably relates to a video recording response imprint that includes multiple expected or desired responses, preferably that each relate to a single dialogue category or dialogue domain.
In either of the implementations described above, an image capturing device (e.g., a video recording camera) may be used by a human agent to create a video response imprint that includes a video recording of themselves or of another human person or agent providing one or more responses for creating a response corpus of a target virtual agent.
Additionally, or alternatively, in one variant implementation, S210 may function to create a video response corpus which may include a plurality of distinct video response imprints or a multi- or single video response imprint that may be pre-recorded. That is, in some embodiments, rather than creating the video response corpus by making one or more human-based or human-imprinted recordings with expected or desired response to user stimuli, S210 may function to search and/or source any available repository (e.g., the Internet, YouTube, Google, etc.) having human-based pre-recordings that may include a desired response or an expected response to a user stimulus.
It shall be recognized that in some embodiments, the method 200, the method 300 or the like may function to implement any suitable combination of the above-described configuration parameters to create a media file, video response imprint, and/or the like.

2.20 Video Response Corpus Processing

S220, which includes intelligently processing the video response corpus, may function to intelligently process a video response corpus to enable a consumption of the content therein for a machine learning-based virtual agent. In one or more embodiments, pre-processing the video response corpus may include partitioning or chunking one or more video response imprints, extracting audio features, and/or transcribing audio features into a consumable or prescribed format (e.g., a textual format), such as an input format suitable for a machine learning virtual agent generation component of a service or system implementing one or more steps of the method 200.

2.22 Partitioning a Video Response Imprint

Optionally, or additionally, S220 includes S222, which may function to partition or chunk a video response imprint of the video response corpus. In one or more embodiments, S222 may function to identify that partitioning of a subject video response imprint may be required based on the subject video response imprint having therein multiple distinct responses satisfying a partitioning threshold (e.g., a minimum number of responses to one or more stimuli). Additionally, or alternatively, in one or more embodiments, S222 may determine that a partitioning of a video response imprint may be required based on a length of the video response imprint, the file size of the video response imprint, and/or the like.
In a first implementation, S222 may function to partition a video response imprint using an intelligent partitioning scheme. In such implementation, S222 may determine a partition location of the video response imprint if there is a suitable pause within the audio of the response. In some embodiments, a suitable pause length for partitioning the video response imprint may be identified based on a discontinuance of a verbal communication by a human agent within the video and lapse of a predetermined amount of time (e.g., pause length). The pause length, pause threshold, and/or decibel level of the sound of the intelligent partitioning may be adjusted according to each subscriber, video response, etc.
In a second implementation, S222 may function to partition a video response imprint using identification partitioning. In such implementation, S222 may determine a partition location of the video response imprint if a user voices a specified keyword and/or phrase or performs an action, such as a predetermined gesture indicating that a partition or break in the video response imprint should be made. For example, the user may pronounce a predetermined keyword, an expected user utterance, and/or the like before articulating their expected response. In another example, a human agent in the recording may make a “thumbs up” gesture or similar gesture indicating a point or section for partitioning the video response imprint.
In a third implementation, S222 may function to partition a video response imprint using interval partitioning. In such implementation, S222 may function to partition a video response imprint every ‘x’ number of seconds. For example, a subscriber may determine that every 10 seconds they'd like the video response to be partitioned. Additionally, or alternatively, the video response imprint may be evenly partitioned into halves, quarters, eighths, and/or the like.
Additionally, or alternatively, the partitioning may be implemented in any suitable manner. In one implementation, S222 may function to partition a video response imprint by demarcating multiple distinct time segments of the video response imprint. In such implementation, S222 may include pairs of digital markers within the video response imprint in which a first marker of the pair of digital markers may indicate a beginning of a time segment (i.e., sub-video response imprint) and a second marker of the pair may indicate a termination or ending of the time segment. In a second implementation, S222 may function to partition a video response imprint by defining each of a plurality of time segments of the video response imprint, extracting each time segment, and storing the extracted time segments independently. That is, in this second implementation, S222 may function to break a video response imprint having multiple responses into multiple distinct sub-videos.
It shall be recognized that in some embodiments, the method 200 or the like may function to implement any suitable video partitioning scheme including a partitioning scheme based on a combination of the above-described techniques or schemes for partition a media file, and/or the like.

2.24 Video Response Identifiers|Selph ID|Imprint ID

Additionally, or alternatively, S220 includes S224, which may function to generate and/or assign one or more unique identifiers to each video response corpus and to each of the video response items/imprints within the video response corpus. In a preferred embodiment, S224 may function to identify or assign a global identifier to each distinct video response corpus or to each collection of video responses that maybe related in content (e.g., same domain or category). Additionally, or alternatively, S224 may function to identify or assign a unique local identifier to video response item/imprint within a given video response corpus.
In one or more embodiments, the global identifier maybe referred to herein as one of a “Selph ID” or a “corpus identifier (ID)”. In such embodiments, the global identifier may function to identify a subject video response corpus as distinctly including video response imprints within a dialogue category or dialogue domain. That is, the global identifier may indicate an overarching category or domain of the video response content within the group. For example, S224 may function to assign a first global identifier to a first video response corpus in which substantially or all the video response imprints relate to a single, first primary category, such as “air travel,” and may function to assign a second global identifier to a second video response corpus in which substantially or all the video response imprints to a single, first primary category, such as “automotive repair.”
In one or more embodiments, the local identifier may be referred to herein as one of an “imprint identifier (ID),” a “video response identifier (ID),” or a “video response imprint ID.” In such embodiments, the local identifier may function as a sub-domain or sub-category identifier that identifies an associated video response imprint as a specific sub-topic or sub-category within a video response corpus. Additionally, or alternatively, each partition of a video response imprint may be assigned a distinct imprint ID for ease of reference, lookup, and/or publishing as a response to a user stimulus.
It shall be recognized that, in one or more embodiments, a video response corpus and a plurality of distinct video response imprints within the video response corpus may be assigned identifiers (i.e., global and local identifiers) based on a hierarchical identification structure in which a video response corpus may be assigned a global identifier corresponding to a top-level category or top-level domain and each of the video response imprints with the video response corpus may be assigned a local identifier corresponding to one or more distinct sub-level categories or sub-level domains. In one example, a video response corpus may be assigned a global identifier such as “air travel”, which may function as a top-level domain, and a first video response imprint within the video response corpus may be assigned a first local identifier of “scheduling flight” and a second video response imprint within the video response corpus may be assigned a second local identifier of “flight status”. In this example, each of the first local identifier of “scheduling flight” and the second local identifier of “flight status” may be sub-level categories of the top-level category of “air travel.”
In a first implementation, either the global and/or local identifiers associated with either the video response corpus or distinct video response imprints may be implemented in tracking operations and/or processes involving or being applied to either the video response corpus or a distinct video response items/imprints. In a second implementation, either the global and/or local identifiers may be implemented for sourcing or obtaining one or more public URLs of one or more target video response imprints preferably during an interaction between a user and a human-personified virtual dialogue agent. In a third implementation, either the global and/or local identifiers may be implemented for response linking and may be electronically associated with an answer object or the like of a chatbot or virtual agent generation service.
As will be further discussed below, the system 100 and/or the method 200 may function to convert the identified (or constructed) video response corpus of S220 into embedding values (e.g., embedded response representations).

2.26 Transcribing a Video Response Imprint

Optionally, or additionally, S220 includes S226, which may function to create a transcription of each video response item/imprint of a video response corpus. In one or more embodiments, the transcription of a given video response imprint may include a textual representation of an audio component or verbal response component within the given video response imprint or any media file.
In one embodiment, S226 may function to interface with a transcriber or a transcription service for automatically generating a transcription of a subject video response imprint. In such embodiment, S226 may function to transmit, via a network and/or via an API, the subject video response imprint together with local identifier data (e.g., an imprint ID) to the transcription service that may function to create a transcription of the subject video response imprint.
In another embodiment, S226 may function to implement a transcription module or the like that may include one or more language models that may function to automatically transcribe an audio component of a subject video response imprint to a text representation.
In the circumstance that a transcription of a video response imprint includes a plurality of distinct responses, S226 may additionally or alternatively function to partition the transcription into a plurality of distinct transcriptions corresponding to the plurality of distinct responses. In one embodiment, S226 may function to partition the transcription based on identifying one or more points of silence (e.g., gaps of text between text representations of the transcription). It shall be noted that any suitable technique for partitioning a transcription of a video response imprint may be implemented.
In a preferred embodiment, a transcription for a given video response imprint may be stored in electronic association with the given video from which the transcription was created together with the local and/or global identifier of the given video response.

2.30 Computing Embedding Values|Video Response Corpus Vectors

S230, which includes computing and storing embedding values based on the video response corpus, may function to convert or generate vector representations or text representations for each response imprint (e.g., each anchor response) of the video response corpus. In one or more preferred embodiments, S230 may function to implement a sentence or text embedding service or language model that may function to convert transcriptions of response imprints of the video response corpus into numerical-based vector representations.
In one implementation, the sentence or text embedding service or model that may be implemented for converting each transcription of each video response imprint in the video response corpus may be the same or substantially similar to an embedding service or model implemented with a pre-trained machine learning (language) model, described herein. In such implementation because the embedding service or model may be the same for converting the video response corpus and training samples or other model inputs of the pre-trained language model, S230 may function to map the vector representations for each response imprint in the video response corpus to an n-dimensional vector space that may be familiar, known, and/or used by the pre-trained language model.
Additionally, or alternatively, in some embodiments, the method 200 may function to implement a plurality of distinct pre-trained language models that may each include an embedding layer (i.e., a hidden layer) or implement a distinct embedding service or language model. In such embodiments, S230 may function to compute one or more distinct sets of embedding values for the video response imprints of the video response corpus using an embedding layer of a pre-trained language model or using one or more of a plurality of distinct embedding services or models that may be used by the pre-trained language models.
For instance, in one or more embodiments that may include using a sentence or text embedding service to generate text representations based on an input of the video response corpus, S230 may function to generate a distinct text representation for each of the plurality of distinct response imprints of the video response corpus.
In a first implementation, S230 may function to sequentially or individually input each response imprint of the video response corpus through an embedding service or language model to create an associated baseline embedded response representation. In such example, a transcription of a first response of the video response corpus (e.g., The delivery fee is $3) may be converted to a first embedded response representation, a transcription of a second response of the video response corpus (e.g., We have a wide selection of vegetarian pizzas) may be converted to a second embedded response representation distinct from the first embedded response representation, and a transcription of a third response of the video response corpus (e.g., Your order will arrive in 30 minutes) may be converted to a third embedded response representation distinct from the first embedded response representation and the second embedded response representation. Stated another way, each transcription of a response of the video response corpus may be an individual input into the sentence or text embedding service to compute a corresponding individual output of an embedded response representation. At least one technical benefit of an individual or discrete approach for creating an embedding representation for each response imprint of a response corpus may include an ability to specifically track a correspondence between a respective response imprint and its computed embedded representation thereby enabling a capability to specifically tune or adjust the computed embedded representation within a given multi-dimensional space for embedding values.
Alternatively, in a second implementation, S230 may function to input a set of transcriptions of the video response corpus of S210 through an embedding service to create a set of embedded response representations (e.g., M_r). In other words, the input into the embedding service may be the entire response corpus and the output (e.g., after processing the video response corpus through the embedding service) may be a set of baseline embedded response representations.
In operation, S230 may function to implement any suitable and/or combination of suitable sentence (or text) embeddings techniques or services to compute embedded response representations. Accordingly, in the case that the identified response corpus may span across a diverse set of text representations (or vector values), S230 may function to identify or define the range of embedding values associated with the video response imprints of the video response corpus.

2.35 N-Dimensional Response Embedding Space

Optionally, S230 includes S235, which may function to associate or map each embedded response representation (or embedded vector representation) of the video response corpus into a multi-dimensional vector space (e.g., an n-dimensional embeddings space), that, in one or more embodiments, may be graphically illustrated. In other words, each vector representation of each distinct string of text or word that may define a distinct response of the video response corpus may be used as input for creating a mapping item or a point that may be positioned onto the multi-dimensional embedding space.
Accordingly, in such preferred embodiment, the embedded response space (e.g., the n-dimensional embedded response space) may be constructed based on mapping the embedded response representations for each response imprint of the video response corpus. For example, S230 may function to map each embedded response representation that may define a coordinate or vector onto the embedded response space.
Additionally, or optionally, each of the embedded representations may be linked, coupled, and/or associated with the anchor response and/or the system-displayed response.
It shall be noted that responses of the video response corpus that may share one or more similar characteristics (e.g., response categories, semantically similar responses within a similarity threshold value) or that may have semantically similar meanings may be mapped (or clustered) proximate to one another, in the embedded response space, when compared to unrelated (e.g., dissimilar) responses.
It shall be noted that each of the video response corpus, the embeddings values for the video response corpus, and/or the n-dimensional mapping of the embeddings values of the video response corpus, may sometimes be referred to herein as the “dialogue agent response collection”, may be stored in association with one another when configured for a specific virtual dialogue agent. Preferably, the dialogue agent response collection may be stored by an instant-virtual agent generation service or the like for creating chatbots or virtual dialogue agents.
3. Method for Implementing a Machine Learning Human-Personified Virtual Agent
As shown in FIG. 3 , the method 300 for implementing a machine learning-based human-personified virtual dialogue agent includes identifying user stimulus data S310, generating a machine learning-based response inference S320, computing a video response imprint (ID) based on the machine learning-based response inference S330, selecting a video response imprint based on a video response imprint ID S340, and implementing a human-personified virtual agent based on the video response S350.

3.10 Receiving a User Utterance/User Stimulus

S310, which includes identifying user stimulus data, may function to identify, collect, and/or receive user input data in the form of a user utterance or user stimulus towards one or more human-personified virtual dialogue agents deployed in a production environment of a subscriber. It shall be noted that one or more of the virtual agents deployed in a production environment of a subscriber may be associated with a distinct video response corpus previously configured with a chat agent generation service or the like.
In a preferred embodiment, S310 may function to receive a user input or user stimulus via a user interface (e.g., an interface of the virtual dialogue agent) accessible by or provided to the user. It shall be noted that, in one or more embodiments, the interface of the virtual dialogue agent may be accessible by a plurality of channels, including but not limited to, a mobile computing device, a web browser (having a website displayed therein), a social network interface, or any other suitable channel or client interface/device for deploying the virtual dialogue agent.
In one or more embodiments, the user utterance or user stimulus may include, but should be not limited to, speech or utterance input, textual input, gesture input, touch input, character input, numerical input, image input and/or any other suitable type of input. It shall be noted that, in one or more embodiments, the user utterance or user stimulus identified, collected, and or received by S310 may be of a single dialogue intent or a plurality of dialogue intents. Additionally, or alternatively, the identified, collected, and or received user stimulus or user utterance may relate to a single dialogue domain or a plurality of dialogue domains.
It shall be noted that, in one or more embodiments, S310 may function to identify, receive, and/or collect the user stimulus or user utterance and transmit, via a computer network or the like, the user stimulus or user utterance to an embedding service that may convert or translate the user stimulus or user utterance into an embedded representation consumable by one or more pre-trained language processing models for producing one or more response inferences or response predictions (“input embedding”).
In one or more alternative embodiments, S310 may function to directly pass the user input or user stimulus, in a raw state, to one or more of the pre-trained language processing models that may include an embedding layer used to generate embedding values for input into one or more inference layers of the models for producing one or more response inferences.
As will be further discussed below, in one or more embodiments, the embedded or vector representation associated with a user utterance or user stimulus may assist with providing the system 100, the method 200, and/or the method 300 the capability of understanding a relational strength between the embedded representation of the user stimulus or the user utterance and the embedded response representations of the video response corpus for intelligently aiding and/or improving a conversational experience.

3.20 Generating Response Inferences Utilizing One or More Pre-Trained Language Processing Models

S320, which includes generating a response inference, may function to provide the user communication or user stimulus as input to one or more pre-trained language models. In some embodiments, a chatbot generation service or the like may function as an intermediary between a client interface implementing a virtual dialogue agent (e.g., a subscriber system) and one or more remote or cloud-based systems implementing the one or more pre-trained language models. In such embodiments, S320 may function to provide or transmit the user stimulus from the client interface (i.e., the virtual dialogue interface) together with a global identifier or Selph ID of a subject virtual dialogue agent to the chatbot generation service and in response to a receipt of the user stimulus, the chatbot generation service may function to directly interface with the one or more pre-trained language models for generating at least one response inference based on the user stimulus.
In operation, S320 may function to operably communicate with (e.g., access, retrieve, or the like) one or more of the plurality of pre-trained language processing models identified within the system 100 and/or by the method 200 or the like. For example, in one or more embodiments, S320 may digitally communicate or digitally interface with one or more of a plurality of language processing models via an application programming interface (API) that may programmatically integrate both the system 100 (implementing the method 200 and method 300) and foreign or third-party systems implementing the one or more pre-trained language processing models. That is, S320 may function to access one or more of the plurality of pre-trained language processing models by requesting or generating one or more API calls that include user stimulus data to APIs of one or more of the pre-trained language processing models for producing one or more inferred responses to the user stimulus.
Accordingly, in one or more embodiments, as the plurality of pre-trained language processing models may be pre-developed and/or pre-trained whereby each of the plurality of pre-trained language processing models may have corresponding configured parameters (e.g., learned weights), the parameters (or weights) of the plurality of language processing models may vary between the distinct pre-trained language models. As a result, each of the distinct language processing models that may process the user stimulus or the user utterance differently and may use distinct embedding models to generate a distinct embedded query representation and may compute a predicted (e.g., embeddings) response inference that may vary from other language processing models. For instance, S320 may function to process the user stimulus or user utterance through a plurality of language processing models and each of the language processing models of the plurality of language processing models may be associated with a distinct embeddings models that generates a distinct user stimulus representation.

3.30 Computing a Video Response to User Stimulus or User Utterance Utilizing One or More Pre-Trained Language Processing Models

S330, which includes computing a video response imprint (ID) based on the machine learning-based response inference, may function to intelligently identify a response to the user stimulus or user utterance based on computationally (e.g., spatially, numerically, etc.) evaluating one or more predicted responses or response inferences of the one or more pre-trained language models against the embedded response representations of the video response corpus for a subject virtual dialogue agent, as shown by way of example in FIG. 6 .
In one or more preferred embodiments, S330 may function to evaluate each embedded response representation or a subset of the embedded response representations of the video response corpus with reference to each response inference computed by the plurality of pre-trained language processing models based on the user stimulus.
In one or more embodiments, if the embedding vector values of an evaluation are based on different embedding models having different vector value ranges or the like, the embedded response representations of the video response corpus and the embedded representations of the user stimulus may be normalized to one another. In this way, S330 may function to compute a similarity metric between an inferred response and one or more embedded response representations of the video response corpus. In such embodiments, the computation of the similarity metric may include mathematically computing a distance value or a distance similarity metric between each embedded response representation of the video response corpus and each inferred response representation produced based on the user stimulus to thereby intelligently identify an optimal or most probable response based on the quantitative analysis of the mathematically computed distance therebetween. It shall be noted that a shorter distance between an embedded response representation and an inferred response representation may express that the two embedded representations signify a higher degree of similarity, and vice versa.
Stated differently, each response imprint of the video response corpus may be associated with a corresponding embedded response representation and preferably mapped to an embedded response space and the user stimulus may be associated with one or more inference responses or inference response vectors. In one or more embodiments, the inference response vector may sometimes be mapped to an n-dimensional space and compared or evaluated against a mapping of the embedding values of the video response corpus for a subject virtual dialogue agent.
Additionally, or alternatively, in some embodiments, the inference response vector may be mapped directly to the n-dimensional space of the embedding values of the video response corpus. Accordingly, S330 may function to mathematically compute, for each inference response to the user stimulus produced by the one or more the pre-trained language processing models, which embedded response representation of the video response corpus provides the most likely or most probable response to the user utterance or user stimulus through a similarity (or distance) analysis.
For example, in one or more embodiments, S330 may perform a quantitative measurement that computes a distance between each embedded response representation of the video response corpus and each inferred response representation that may be computed based on an input of the user stimulus. Accordingly, S330 may further function to identify or select which response from the plurality of responses of the video response corpus that may be the most likely response to the user stimulus by identifying the embedded response representation with the smallest (or shortest) distance to the inferred response representation.
It shall be noted that, in one or more embodiments, the selected or optimal response (vector, item) to the user stimulus may be the embedded response representation that occurs with the highest frequency based on the results of the similarity analysis performed for multiple, distinct inferred responses of the plurality of distinct pre-trained language models. For instance, if three (3) distinct response inferences map to a first embedding value of a first response (R_1) of the video response corpus based on similarity and two (2) distinct response inferences map to a second embedding value of a second response (R_2), S330 may function to select the first response, R_1, as the most likely or most probable response to the user stimulus since there is a higher frequency of similarity mapping between the inferred responses of the pre-trained language models and a given embedded representation of a response imprint of the video response corpus of a given virtual dialogue agent.
Additionally, or alternatively, in one or more embodiments, the inferred response representation generated by each of the plurality of pre-trained language processing models may be averaged together and the averaged inferred response representation may be used for the similarity analysis computations. In one example, S330 may function to source three (3) response inferences or response predictions from three distinct pre-trained machine learning models based on a given user stimulus. In this example, S330 may function to compute an average inference vector value based on the 3 response inferences and compute a similarity metric between the average vector value and one or more embedded values of the video response corpus of a subject virtual dialogue agent.
Accordingly, based on a response computation between the one or more inferred responses of the one or more pre-trained language models and the embedding values of the transcripts of the one or more video response imprints of a video response corpus, S330 may function to identify the most probable or most likely (e.g., best or optimal) video response imprint for responding to the user stimulus. In one embodiment, S330 may function to identify a text-based transcript or the like associated with most probable the video response imprint together with an associated local identifier (e.g., imprint identifier) and return a copy of the text-based transcript of a video response imprint, the imprint ID, and/or the Selph ID to a source of the user stimulus (e.g., subscriber system, client interface, etc.).

3.40 Identifying a Video Response Imprint & Generating a Response Using the Selecting a Video Response Imprint

S340, which includes selecting a video response imprint based on a video response imprint ID, may function to generate a response via the virtual dialogue agent based on the identified text-based transcript and/or imprint ID of a video response imprint.
In one embodiment, in response to receiving or identifying the text-based transcript of the video response imprint with a corresponding local identifier or imprint ID, S340 may function to evaluate one or more of the text-based transcript and imprint ID against the one or more video response imprints of a video response corpus. In such embodiment, based on the evaluation, S340 may function to identify a video response imprint and/or associated time segment or partition of a video response imprint for responding to the user stimulus.
In the circumstance that the video response corpus includes a single video having a sequence of distinct video response imprints partitioned based on time segments and each video response imprint of the sequence having a unique imprint ID, S340 may function to evaluate and/or compare the identified imprint ID along the sequence of video response imprints or time segments and identify a video response imprint or time segment that matches the identified imprint ID.
Additionally, or alternatively, in the circumstance that the video response corpus includes a plurality of distinct video response imprints with each video response imprint being stored independently of one another, S340 may function to individually evaluate and/or compare the identified imprint ID to each video response imprint and an associated imprint ID to identify a video response imprint having an imprint ID that matches the identified imprint ID.

3.50 Implementing a Human-Personified Virtual Agent

S350, which include implementing a human-personified virtual agent based on the video response, may function to generate and/or provide a response to user stimulus/user utterance by loading and/or playing a video response imprint via the human-personified virtual dialogue agent that best (most likely) responds to the user stimulus/user utterance, as shown by way of example in FIG. 7 .
In one embodiment, S350 may function to identify and/or collect a target video response imprint together with an associated text-based transcript of the target video response imprint and load or transmit the video response imprint and transcript to a user system (client interface). Preferably, in such embodiments, the user system may include a display, such a computer or mobile device display panel, that includes a window or an interface object at which the video response imprint may be communicated and/or played.
In one implementation, S350 may function to generate a response via the human-personified virtual dialogue agent that includes executing the video response imprint together with the text-based transcript. In such embodiments, executing the text-based transcript may include superimposing on or overlapping the content of the text-based transcript with the video response imprint. In this way, a user may optionally follow the video response imprint based on viewing the text-based transcript of the video response imprint.
It shall be noted that, in some embodiments, S350 may only function to display the text-based transcript of the video response imprint if an accessibility setting of the human-personified virtual dialogue agent is toggled on. Conversely, in some embodiments, S350 may only function to display the video response imprint (and not the text-based transcript of the video response imprint) if the accessibility setting of the human-personified virtual dialogue agent is toggled off.
Additionally, or alternatively, in some embodiments, the identified imprint ID may be evaluated and/or matched against a proxy response item or a display response item which may be different from an original video response imprint (anchor answer) associated with the identified imprint ID. That is, in some embodiments, an original video response imprint may be tethered to or otherwise associated with a proxy response item that may be presented in lieu of the original video response imprint.
Additionally, or alternatively, in one or more implementations, S350 may function to play (via stream, download, and/or the like) any combinations of a video, audio, transcript, and/or the like of a video response imprint.
Embodiments of the system and/or method can include every combination and permutation of the various system components and the various method processes, wherein one or more instances of the method and/or processes described herein can be performed asynchronously (e.g., sequentially), concurrently (e.g., in parallel), or in any other suitable order by and/or using one or more instances of the systems, elements, and/or entities described herein.
Although omitted for conciseness, the preferred embodiments may include every combination and permutation of the implementations of the systems and methods described herein.
