Abstract

The present invention provides a method for identifying a turn, such as a sentence or phrase, for addition to a platform dialog comprising a plurality of turns. Lexical features of each of a set of candidate turns relative to one or more turns in the platform dialog are determined. Semantic features associated with each candidate turn and associated with the platform dialog are determined to identify one or more topics associated with each candidate turn and with the platform dialog. Lexical features of each candidate turn are compared to lexical features of the platform dialog and semantic features associated with each candidate turn are compared to semantic features of the platform dialog to rank the candidate turns based on similarity of lexical features and semantic features of each candidate turn to lexical features and semantic features of the platform dialog.
