Abstract
A system and a method for analyzing conversation text model comprising an inspection model, using a neural network based language model. The method may be used for investigation, as a tutor or examination bot, for mental state health screening, and for adapting a bot to covert preferences. Some implementations may ask the same question several times in different forms, to check the consistency or lead a conversation implicitly.
Claims25
A method for evaluating understanding in a textual content, comprising:
- accessing a storage to obtain a plurality of inspection questions;
- acquiring a textual content, using a virtual human interaction agent;
- using at least one processing circuitry for generating:
- a plurality of queries each from a combination of at least one part of the textual content and one of the plurality of inspection questions;
- a plurality of inference values, each by feeding one of the plurality of queries to at least one conversational language model;
- and
- at least one evaluation of the textual content by processing the plurality of inference.
A system comprising a storage and at least one processing circuitry configured to:
- access the storage to obtain a plurality of inspection questions;
- acquire a textual content, using a virtual human interaction agent;
- use the at least one processing circuitry for generating:
- a plurality of queries each from a combination of at least one part of the textual content and one of the a plurality of inspection questions;
- a plurality of inference values, each by feeding one of the plurality of queries to at least one conversational language model;
- and
- at least one evaluation of the textual content by processing the plurality of inference.
One or more computer program products comprising instructions for evaluating understanding in a textual content, wherein execution of the instructions by one or more processors of a computing system is to cause a computing system to:
- access a storage to obtain a plurality of inspection questions;
- acquire a textual content, using a virtual human interaction agent;
- use at least one processing circuitry for generating:
- a plurality of queries each from a combination of at least one part of the textual content and one of the plurality of inspection questions;
- a plurality of inference values, each by feeding one of the plurality of queries to at least one conversational language model;
- and
- at least one evaluation of the textual content by processing the plurality of inference.
