Abstract

Embodiments generally relate placing a voice response system into a forced sleep state. In some embodiments, a method includes receiving a voice command from a given user to place a voice response system in a woke state. The method further includes obtaining current context data, and analyzing the current context data using a voice response model trained using a voice response corpus that incorporated a history of interactions and context data by one or more users with the voice response system. The method further includes, from the analysis of the current context data using the voice response model, determining whether the voice response system is to be placed in the woke state; and, responsive to determining that the voice response system is not to be placed in the woke state, placing the voice response system in a sleep state contrary to the voice command.
