Definitions

  • Task driven user intents may provide a mechanism for facilitating natural language understanding of user queries and conversations.
  • web and/or cloud-based network services may offer a wide array of information to users, but a search agent may not be able to understand a user's context to choose which service to query.
  • a natural language phrase of "let's do Italian tonight” may not be understood by a search engine, which may return results associated with translating the phrase into Italian rather than searching for an Italian restaurant.
  • conventional systems require specific syntax to define a search domain rather than being able to identify that domain from the context of the search.
  • Identification of user intents may be provided.
  • a plurality of network applications may be identified, and an ontology associated with each of the plurality of applications may be defined. If a phrase received from a user is associated with at least one of the defined ontologies, an action associated with the network application may be executed.
  • FIG. 1 is a block diagram of an operating environment
  • FIG. 2 is a flow chart of a method for providing an understanding of user intents
  • FIG. 3 is a block diagram of a system including a computing device.
  • Spoken dialog systems enable people to interact with computers with their voice.
  • the primary component that drives the SDS may comprise a dialog manager: this component manages the dialog-based conversation with the user.
  • the dialog manager may determine the intention of the user through a combination of multiple sources of input, such as speech recognition and natural language understanding component outputs, context from the prior dialog turns, user context, and/or semantic concepts and data associated with an ontology. After determining the intention, the dialog manager may take an action, such as displaying the final results to the user and/or continuing in a dialog with the user to satisfy their intent.
  • FIG. 1 is a block diagram of an operating environment 100 comprising a server 105 comprising a spoken dialog system (SDS) 110.
  • Server 105 may comprise software applications such as a personal assistant program 1 12 and/or a search agent 1 14.
  • SDS 110 may comprise a dialog manager 1 15 and may be operative to receive user phrases, queries, and/or action requests via a network 120.
  • Network 120 may comprise a private network (e.g., a corporate intranet), a cellular network, and/or a public network such as the Internet.
  • Operating environment 100 may further comprise a plurality of network applications 150(A)-(C).
  • Network applications 150(A)-(C) may comprise data sources, such as a stock market quote service and/or a weather data service, and/or web services such as a restaurant reservation tool.
  • FIG. 2 is a flow chart setting forth the general stages involved in a method 200 consistent with an embodiment of the invention for providing understanding of user intents.
  • Method 200 may be implemented using a computing device 300 as described in more detail below with respect to FIG. 3. Ways to implement the stages of method 200 will be described in greater detail below.
  • Method 200 may begin at starting block 205 and proceed to stage 210 where computing device 300 may identify a plurality of network applications.
  • SDS 1 10 may parse web pages provided by each of plurality of network applications 150(A)-(C).
  • Those web pages may comprise publically accessible APIs that may be called by a remote process, such as search agent 1 14.
  • Such APIs may comprise functional definitions within the web page that may identify required parameters in order to successfully call the API.
  • application-specific ontologies may be provided by the network applications.
  • Method 200 may then advance to stage 215 where computing device 300 may receive and/or define an ontology for each of the identified applications.
  • SDS 110 may receive a "restaurant” ontology for a restaurant rating website such as Zagat® or reservation site OpenTable®.
  • a "travel” ontology may be defined for a travel booking website such as Expedia®.
  • Each identified application, it's associated ontology, and any required parameters may then be stored in a database associated with SDS 1 10.
  • Method 200 may then advance to stage 220 where computing device 300 may receive a phrase from a user. For example, a user may speak into a cellular phone comprising user device 130 and say "let's get dinner tonight.”
  • Method 200 may then advance to stage 225 where computing device 300 may determine whether the phrase is associated with one of the defined ontologies.
  • “dinner” may comprise a keyword associated with a "restaurant” ontology.
  • the ontology associated with the application may comprise a shared ontology that may be merged with a personal ontology of the user.
  • the received phrase may be compared to semantic concepts associated with the merged ontology (and/or multiple merged ontologies) to identify an intent of the received phrase.
  • method 200 may advance to stage 227 where computing device 300 may translate the phrase into an agent action associated with at least one of the plurality of network-based applications according to the merged ontology. For example, the received phrase "let's get dinner tonight" may be translated into a search action for nearby restaurants with reservations available tonight. [017] Method 200 may then advance to stage 230 where computing device 300 may determine whether the required parameters were received. For example, to perform a search on a restaurant reservation network service, a time-frame may be required. The concept "tonight" may be translated into the required time-frame for the associated application.
  • method 200 may advance to stage 235 where computing device 300 may request more information.
  • personal assistant program 1 12 may ask the user for the required information via a voice prompt and/or a display on user device 130.
  • method 200 may advance to stage 240 where computing device 300 may execute the translated action on the associated application.
  • server 105 may execute a remote procedure call to network application 150(A) using the required parameters from the user phrase.
  • Method 200 may then advance to stage 245 where computing device 300 may display a result to the user.
  • server 105 may receive a result associated with the executed action from network application 150(A). This result may then be transmitted to user device 130 for display on a screen and/or for being output via audio (e.g., text-to-speech). Method 200 may then end at stage 250.
