Domain specific neural sentence generator for multi-domain virtual assistants

Abstract

Automatically generating sentences that a user can say to invoke a set of defined actions performed by a virtual assistant are disclosed. A sentence is received and keywords are extracted from the sentence. Based on the keywords, additional sentences are generated. A classifier model is applied to the generated sentences to determine a sentence that satisfies a threshold. In the situation a sentence satisfies the threshold, an intent associated with the classifier model can be invoked. In the situation the sentences fail to satisfy the classifier model, the virtual assistant can attempt to interpret the received sentence according to the most likely intent by invoking a sentence generation model fine-tuned for a particular domain, generate additional sentences with a high probability of having the same intent and fulfill the specific action defined by the intent.
