A computerized method, system and computer program product for building a dialogue flow. One embodiment of the method may comprise receiving an input document, the input document comprising content, and generating, by a question-answer pipeline, a plurality of question-answer pairs from the content of the input document. For each question-answer pair, the method may further comprise feeding the question of the question-answer pair into an intent of a dialogue flow structure, and feeding the answer of the question-answer pair as one response of the intent. The method may further comprise tagging each of the plurality of question-answer pairs with a corresponding document section index, reading, by a conversational agent, the input document to a user, pausing the reading when the conversational agent reaches one of the document section indices in the input document, and in response, reading the question corresponding to the document section indicia to the user.

Automated generation of dialogue flow from documents

A computer-implemented method for visual question generation includes training an alignment module to analyze an image, an answer hint, and a visual hint with respect to the image. A k-nearest neighbors (KNN) graph is constructed by performing an aligned embedding for each region of the image. A node embedding component is generated by using a graph embedding component of the KNN graph. A visual question is generated by sequence decoding each image and graph of the image.

Visual question generation with answer-awareness and region-reference

A dataset including features and values associated with the features can be received. Each of the features in the dataset can be mapped to a corresponding node in a knowledge graph based on the concept represented by the corresponding node. The knowledge graph can be traversed to find a candidate node connected to at least one mapped node, the candidate node not being mapped to a feature in the dataset. A concept associated with the candidate node can be identified as a new feature. A machine learning model pipeline can use the features in the dataset and the new feature to select a subset of features for training a machine learning model.

Use a computerized trained graph neural network model to classify an input instance with a predicted label. With a computerized graph neural network interpretation module, compute a gradient-based saliency matrix based on the input instance and the predicted label, by taking a partial derivative of class prediction with respect to an adjacency matrix of the model. With a computerized user interface, obtain user input responsive to the gradient-based saliency matrix. Optionally, modify the trained graph neural network model based on the user input; and re-classify the input instance with a new predicted label based on the modified trained graph neural network model.

Mechanisms are provided for performing artificial intelligence-based video question answering. A video parser parses an input video data sequence to generate situation data structure(s), each situation data structure comprising data elements corresponding to entities, and first relationships between entities, identified by the video parser as present in images of the input video data sequence. First machine learning computer model(s) operate on the situation data structure(s) to predict second relationship(s) between the situation data structure(s). Second machine learning computer model(s) execute on a received input question to predict an executable program to execute to answer the received question. The program is executed on the situation data structure(s) and predicted second relationship(s). An answer to the question is output based on results of executing the program.
