Abstract
A system and method for engaging in an automated dialog with a user. A processor retrieves a preset dialog flow that includes various blocks directing the dialog with the user. The processor provides a prompt to the user based on a current block of the dialog flow, receives an action from the user in response to the prompt, and retrieves a classification/decision tree corresponding to the dialog flow. The classification tree has a plurality of nodes mapped to the blocks of the dialog flow. Each of the nodes represents a user intent. The processor computes a probability for each of the nodes based on the action from the user. A particular one of the nodes is then selected based on the computed probabilities. A target block of the dialog flow is further identified based on the selected node, and a response is output in response to the identified target block.
