Application: Dialogue support system and dialogue support method (Patent ID: US20240211700A1)
The patent filed by Hitachi Ltd. describes a dialogue support system that utilizes question/answer pair candidates with question sentence vectors, emotion vectors, and answer sentence vectors to generate question/answer pairs. These pairs are categorized into groups based on similarities between the vectors, with sentence dependence pairs and emotion dependence pairs being output based on the variance of the vectors in each group. The system also includes a method for calculating and storing sentence dependence and emotion dependence degrees for the generated pairs.
Furthermore, the dialogue support system method involves extracting questions and emotions from dialogues between questioners and respondents, determining question sentence vectors, emotion vectors, and answer sentence vectors based on the extracted information, and calculating and storing sentence dependence and emotion dependence degrees. The system can also receive search instructions, select question/answer pairs based on similarities between vectors, and output answer sentences based on the selected pairs. Overall, the system and method aim to enhance dialogue support by considering the relationships between question sentences, emotions, and answer sentences in generating appropriate responses.
