Abstract

Methods, systems, and computer program products for bootstrapping of state-based dialog systems are provided herein. A computer-implemented method includes determining parameters for state automata by partitioning an ontology graph into sub-graphs and a knowledge graph into sub-graphs, wherein the ontology graph and the knowledge graph are based on a user question and domain knowledge pertaining to the user question; generating a structured query for each of the sub-graphs; determining intentions of a dialog pertaining to the at least one user question by translating each of the generated structured queries to a respective natural language query; creating one or more dialog states for each of the determined dialog intentions; creating one or more connecting dialog states between pairs of the created dialog states; and generating an automata dialog framework associated with the user question based on the created dialog states and the created connecting dialog states.
