Abstract
Embodiments provide for tracking a partial dialog state as part of managing a dialog state space, but the embodiments are not so limited. A method of an embodiment jointly models partial state update and named entity recognition using a sequence-based classification or other model, wherein recognition of named entities and a partial state update can be performed in a single processing stage at runtime to generate a distribution over partial dialog states. A system of an embodiment is configured to generate a distribution over partial dialog states at runtime in part using a sequence classification decoding or other algorithm to generate one or more partial dialog state hypothesis and/or a confidence score or measure associated with each hypothesis. Other embodiments are included.
