Abstract:
A method for simplifying user interactions with decision tree dialog managers is provided. The method may include receiving from a client computer, by a server computer, a user input. The server computer may identify one or more candidate nodes of a decision tree corresponding to the received user input. An entropy value may be calculated by the server computer for each of the identified candidate nodes. The server computer may then select a current node from among the candidate nodes, whereby the selected current node has a lowest calculated entropy value. A prompt associated with the selected current node may be transmitted to the user by the server computer.
