Abstract

Methods and systems are disclosed for improving dialog management for task-oriented dialog systems. The disclosed dialog builder leverages machine teaching processing to improve development of dialog managers. In this way, the dialog builder combines the strengths of both rule-based and machine-learned approaches to allow dialog authors to: (1) import a dialog graph developed using popular dialog composers, (2) convert the dialog graph to text-based training dialogs, (3) continuously improve the trained dialogs based on log dialogs, and (4) generate a corrected dialog for retraining the machine learning.
