Execution engine for compositional entity resolution for assistant systems

Abstract:

In one embodiment, a method includes, by one or more computing systems, receiving a user input comprising a plurality of n-grams from a user of a client system, generating a tree-structured representation for the user input based on a parsing by a compositional model, resolving the tree-structured representation by applying a depth-first search algorithm, wherein the tree-structured representation comprises one or more non-resolvable non-terminal nodes associated with one or more slots, and wherein each non-terminal parent node of a non-resolvable non-terminal node is partially resolved based on partial slot information associated with the non-resolvable non-terminal node, and wherein each non-resolvable non-terminal node is resolved based on the respective partially resolved non-terminal parent node of the non-resolvable non-terminal node, generating a response to the user input based on the resolved tree-structured representation, sending instructions for presenting the response to the client system of the user.
