This invention helped to leverage AI-enabled natural language processing technologies to find relevant information from massive documents and make responses to user queries.
Conversational Chatbots
For most knowledge bases, there is a vast amount of document content to communicate with human readers for sharing knowledge. Making the document content accessible to users via conversational systems could be a meaningful yet challenging task. To effectively improve the accuracy of information retrieval and response generation, our team proposed a pipeline system of “retrieve, re-rank, and generate” for handling users’ information-seeking queries. This conversational chatbot can help users to search for information from massive contents ranging from encyclopedias to public policies.
This invention can automatically retrieve some relevant informationfrom massive documents, and then generate answers in response to users’ queries.
This invention can continuously complete user requests in the form of a user-friendly conversational chatbot.
This invention helps to advance AI-enabled information seeking technologies, reducing the costs for users to search information.
