Abstract
A computer-implemented method is disclosed for determining one or more characteristics of a dialog between a computer system and user. The method may comprise receiving a system utterance comprising one or more tokens defining one or more words generated by the computer system; receiving a user utterance comprising one or more tokens defining one or more words uttered by a user in response to the system utterance, the system utterance and the user utterance forming a dialog context; receiving one or more utterance candidates comprising one or more tokens; for each utterance candidate, generating an input sequence combining the one or more tokens of each of the system utterance, the user utterance, and the utterance candidate; and for each utterance candidate, evaluating the generated input sequence with a model to determine a probability that the utterance candidate is relevant to the dialog context.
