Abstract: A multi-tenant system performs custom configuration of a tenant-specific chatbot to process and act upon natural language requests. The multi-tenant system configures the tenant-specific chatbots without requiring tenant-specific training. The multi-tenant system providing a user interface for configuring a tenant-specific set of permitted actions. The multi-tenant system determines a set of example phrases for each of the selected permitted actions. The multi-tenant system receives a natural language request from a user and identifies the action that the user wants to perform. The multi-tenant system uses a neural network to compare the natural language request with example phrases to identify an example phrase that matches the natural language request. The multi-tenant system performs the action corresponding to the matching example phrase.

Abstract: An online system that allows users to interact with it using expressions in natural language form includes an intent inference module allowing it to infer an intent represented by a user expression. The intent inference module has a set of possible intents, along with a small set of example natural language expressions known to represent that intent. When a user interacts with the system using a natural language expression for which the intent is not already known, the intent inference module applies a natural language inference model to compute scores indicating whether the user expression textually entails the various example natural language expressions. Based on the scores, the intent inference module determines an intent that is most applicable for the expression. If an intent cannot be determined with sufficient confidence, the intent inference module may further attempt to determine whether the various example natural language expressions textually entail the user expression.

Abstract: A conversation engine performs conversations with users using chatbots customized for performing a set of tasks that can be performed using an online system. The conversation engine loads a chatbot configuration that specifies the behavior of a chatbot including the tasks that can be performed by the chatbot, the types of entities relevant to each task, and so on. The conversation may be voice based and use natural language. The conversation engine may load different chatbot configurations to implement different chatbots. The conversation engine receives a conversation engine configuration that specifies the behavior of the conversation engine across chatbots. The system may be a multi-tenant system that allows customization of the chatbots for each tenant.

Abstract: A system authenticates users using voice-based conversations. The system allows the authentication process to be customized using an authentication plan. For example, the system may be a multi-tenant system that allows customization of the authentication process for each tenant. The authentication plan is represented as an expression of phrase types, each phrase type associated with a phrase verification method. The system authenticates a user by executing the expression of an authentication plan for that user in response to a request from the user. The system performs a conversation with the user according to the authentication plan. The system determines whether to allow or deny the user request based on the result of evaluation of the expression of the authentication plan.

Abstract: A system performs conversations with users using chatbots customized for performing a set of tasks. The system may be a multi-tenant system that allows customization of the chatbots for each tenant. The system receives a task configuration that maps tasks to entity types and an entity configuration that specifies methods for determining entities of a particular entity type. The system receives a user utterance and determines the intent of the user using an intent detection model, for example, a neural network. The intent represents a task that the user is requesting. The system determines one or more entities corresponding to the task. The system performs tasks based on the determined intent and the entities and performs conversations with users based on the tasks.

Abstract: A system performs conversations with users using chatbots customized for performing a set of tasks. The system may be a multi-tenant system that allows customization of the chatbots for each tenant. The system processes sentences that may include negation or coreferences. The system determines a confidence score for an input sentence using an intent detection model, for example, a neural network. The system modifies the sentence to generate a modified sentence, for example, by removing a negation or by replacing a pronoun with an entity. The system generates a confidence score for the modified sentence using the intent detection model. The system determines the intent of the sentence based on the confidence scores of the sentence and the modified sentence. The system performs tasks based on the determined intent and performs conversations with users based on the tasks.
