Abstract

Embodiments for training an automated response system using weak supervision and co-training in a computing environment are provided. A plurality of conversational logs comprising interactive dialog sessions between agents and clients for a given product or service are received. A subset of the plurality of conversational logs are retrieved according to a defined criterion, and a selected set of the subset of the plurality of retrieved conversational logs are labeled by a user. The labeling is associated with a semantic scope of intent considered by the clients. A combination of propagation operations and learning algorithms using the selected set of labeled conversational logs are applied to a remaining corpus of the plurality of conversational logs to train the automated response system according to the semantic scope of intent.
