Abstract
Methods and systems for automatically generating sample phrases or sentences that a user can say to invoke a set of defined actions performed by a virtual assistant are disclosed. By enabling finetuned general-purpose natural language models, the system can generate potential and accurate utterance sentences based on extracted keywords or the input utterance sentence. Furthermore, domain-specific datasets can be used to train the pre-trained, general-purpose natural language models via unsupervised learning. These generated sentences can improve the efficiency of configuring a virtual assistant. The system can further optimize the effectiveness of a virtual assistant in understanding the user, which can enhance the user experience of communicating with it.
