REDUCED TRAINING FOR DIALOG SYSTEMS USING A DATABASE

Abstract:

Techniques are described for training and executing a machine learning model using data derived from a database. A dialog system uses data from the database to generate related training data for natural language understanding applications. The generated training data is then used to train a machine learning model. This enables the dialog system to leverage a large amount of available data to speed up the training process as compared to conventional labeling techniques. The dialog system uses the trained machine learning model to identify a named entity from a received spoken utterance and generate and output a speech response based upon the identified named entity.
