Abstract
Conversational interactions between humans and computer systems can be provided by a computer system that classifies an input by conversation type, and provides human authored responses for conversation types. The input classification can be performed using trained binary classifiers. Training can be performed by labeling inputs as either positive or negative examples of a conversation type. Conversational responses can be authored by the same individuals that label the inputs used in training the classifiers. In some cases, the process of training classifiers can result in a suggestion of a new conversation type, for which human authors can label inputs for a new classifier and write content for responses for that new conversation type.
