Abstract

Techniques are disclosed for detecting distributed incompetence in text of a conversation using communicative discourse trees and then inserting an automatic response from an autonomous agent (chatbot) or other entity. For example, a computing system generates a communicative discourse tree from utterances from multiple agents to a user. The computing system obtains a prediction of whether the text includes distributed incompetence by applying a trained predictive model to the communicative discourse tree. Based on the detection, the computing system generates an updated response to a user device.
