Abstract

In some examples, natural language dialogue system perturbation testing may include identifying semantic segments for conversation data for a natural dialogue system. For each semantic segment, a perturbed variant that includes a perturbation may be generated, and forwarded to the natural dialogue system. An updated response to the perturbed variant may be obtained from the natural dialogue system. A semantic similarity may be determined between an original response to a semantic segment and the updated response, and based on the semantic similarity between the original response and the updated response, a perturbability of the natural dialogue system may be determined. A determination may be made as to whether the perturbability of the natural dialogue system is greater than a specified perturbability threshold, and if so, a training corpus that includes a failed response to a perturbed variant may be utilized to train the natural dialogue system.
