Abstract

Method and apparatus improves the quality of responses from an automatic dialogue system by dynamically adjusting response thresholds. More particularly, the automatic dialogue system may dynamically determine response threshold values in response to user feedback. The response threshold values may be used to evaluate a confidence value. The confidence value may be assigned to or otherwise associated with an input class, or user intent. The system may automatically adjust the response threshold values to provide a better user experience as the amount of user-interaction with the system increases.
