Machine learning to propose actions in response to natural language questions

Abstract:

A method of training machine learning models (MLMs). An issue vector is generated using an issue MLM to generate a first output including first embedded natural language issue statements. An action vector is generated using an action MLM to generate a second output including related embedded natural language action statements. The issue and action MLMs are of a same type. An inner product of the first and second output is calculated, forming a third output. The third output is processed according to a sigmoid gate process to predict whether a given issue statement and corresponding action statement relate to a same call, resulting in a fourth output. A loss function is calculated from the fourth output by comparing the fourth output to a known result. The issue MLM and the action MLM are modified using the loss function to obtain a trained issue MLM and a trained action MLM.
