Abstract

A natural language understanding (NLU) system utilizes a knowledge network having interconnected actor perceiver predictor (APP) nodes associated with context, action, and result. For a received utterance, an utterance type is determined, and an input message is generated based on the utterance type. The input message includes word-concept groupings, which include words of the received utterance and concept tags associated with the words. An action type is determined based on the utterance type. The knowledge network is searched to locate a subset of the APP nodes that exceed a threshold connection weight and thereby discriminate the word-concept groupings from other word-concept groupings represented by nodes of the network. Metadata for the word-concept groupings is retrieved from the subset of the APP nodes, and a response to the received utterance is generated by incorporating the metadata into a response template.
