Abstract

A virtual assistant processes natural language expressions according to grammar rules created by domain providers. The virtual assistant uniquely identifies each of a multiplicity of users and stores values of grammar slots filled by natural language expressions from each user. The virtual assistant stores histories of slot values and computes statistics from the history. The virtual assistant provider, or a classification client, provides values of attributes of users as labels for a machine learning classification algorithm. The algorithm processes the grammar slot values and labels to compute probability distributions for unknown attribute values of users. A network effect of users and domain grammars make the virtual assistant useful and provides increasing amounts of data that improve classification accuracy and usefulness.
