    Abstract: Methods and systems for identifying a meaning of an ambiguous term in a natural language query. The media guidance application isolates first and second terms from a query received from a user and identifies, in a knowledge graph, first and second pluralities of candidate components associated with the first and second terms. The first and second terms each having multiple candidate components indicates the first and second terms have ambiguous meanings. The media guidance application matches each candidate component of the first and second pluralities of candidate components to form a plurality of pairs and determines strength of association for each pair in the plurality of pairs. The media guidance application filters the plurality of pairs by strength of association for each pair and determines a plurality of possible meanings based on the filtered plurality of pairs. The media guidance application selects a meaning from the plurality of possible meanings.

    Abstract: Systems and methods are described to address shortcomings in conventional conversation systems by determining an execution path for a natural language query using questions and answers and selecting the path in a knowledge graph based on the entities in the questions and answers and the user's feedback. In some aspects, the systems and methods described provide for determining an execution path for a natural language query presented to an interactive media guidance application. The interactive media guidance application receives, from a user, a query including an input entity and an unknown term. The interactive media guidance application retrieves, from a knowledge graph, a plurality of possible responses for the query. The interactive media guidance application determines a correct response of the plurality of possible responses based on feedback from the user. The interactive media guidance application selects an execution path for the query based on the correct response.

    Abstract: Systems and methods are described to address shortcomings in a conventional conversation system via a novel technique utilizing artificial neural networks to train the conversation system whether or not to continue context. In some aspects, an interactive media guidance application determines a type of conversation continuity in a natural language conversation comprising first and second queries. The interactive media guidance application determines a first token in the first query and a second token in the second query. The interactive media guidance application identifies entity data for the first and second tokens. The interactive media guidance application retrieves, from a knowledge graph, graph connections between the entity data for the first and second tokens. The interactive media guidance application applies this data as inputs to an artificial neural network. The interactive media guidance application determines an output that indicates the type of conversation continuity between the first and second queries.

    Abstract: Methods and systems are described for processing media consumption information across a data space with different types of user preference information. User preference information is received in a form of a data space. User preference information includes both monitored user interactions with respect to media assets and levels of enjoyment that users expressly input with respect to the media assets. Both types of preference information are transformed to consumption layer preference information and attributes indicative of users' preferences are determined. An estimated explicit user preference and an estimated implicit user preference are determined. The two estimated user preference values are compared and an error value is calculated based on the comparison.

    Abstract: Methods and systems are described for processing media consumption information across multiple data spaces over a common media asset space. User preference information is received from two data spaces. User preference information from the first data space includes monitored user interactions of a first plurality of users with respect to a first plurality of media assets and user preference information from the second data space includes levels of enjoyment that a second plurality of users expressly input with respect to a second plurality of media assets. Both sets of preference information are transformed to respective consumption layer preference information and respective attributes indicative of users' preferences are determined. A first and second sentimental similarity values are determined for the first and second preference information respectively. The two sentimental similarity values are compared and an error value is calculated based on the comparison.

    Abstract: Systems and methods are described herein for updating links between keywords associated with a trending topic. Control circuitry may identify a plurality of communications associated with a plurality of users, the plurality of communications being related to a topic. The communications may comprise, for example, emails, text messages, online social media posts, websites or portions of a website, or any other online communication. The control circuitry may determine whether the topic is trending and increase a strength of association between a first symbol associated with the topic and a second symbol associated with the topic such that when a search query is received that includes the first symbol, search results related to the second symbol have a higher probability of being returned.
