Abstract

See full text

Embodiments of a configurable content optimizer for use in dialog systems are described. In one embodiment, the content optimizer is a configurable component that acts as an intermediary between a dialog management module and a knowledge management module of a dialog system during the query process. The content optimizer module makes extensive use of the system ontology and organizes items returned by the knowledge base and makes adjustments to the query so that a reasonable number of responses are returned. Each query is broken down into a number of constraints, the constraints are characterized by type, and adjustments are made by strategies that include relaxing or tightening constraints in the query. Generic strategies for the potential adjustments are represented in a configurable manner so that the content optimizing module can be easily applied to new domains.
