SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR MODEL DERIVATION FOR ENTITY PREDICTION
A method for deriving a model for a chatbot for predicting entities in a sentence. The sentence is input into a named-entity recognition module and features obtained. A LSTM RNN forward pass and backward pass is performed on the features to obtain a first and second set of results, respectively. A first concatenating is performed on the first set of results and the second set of results. A second concatenation is performed on the first concatenation using output target entities. A connected set of neurons from the second concatenation is obtained. An output is obtained, and a prediction is collected on a next output by summing the outputs previous to that output. The prediction is input into the performing of the second concatenation step, wherein the method is performed cyclically until all outputs have been processed with input predictions.
1 . A method for deriving a model for a chatbot for predicting entities in a given sentence comprising a plurality of words wherein the words are separated by space, the method comprising the steps of:
inputting the sentence into a named-entity recognition module and truncating the sentence;
obtaining features from the truncated sentence;
performing a Long Short-Term Memory Recurring Neural Network forward pass on the features to obtain a first set of results;
performing a Long Short-Term Memory Recurring Neural Network backward pass on the features to obtain a second set of results;
performing a first concatenating on the first set of results and the second set of results;
performing a second concatenation on the first concatenation using output target entities, wherein the output target entities are shifted by one step;
obtaining a fully connected set of neurons from the second concatenation, which are shared across all encoded words;
obtaining an output;
collecting a prediction on a next output by summing the plurality of outputs previous to that output; and
inputting the prediction into the performing of the second concatenation step, wherein the method is performed cyclically until all outputs have been processed with input predictions.
