Abstract

In some aspects, a multi-turn conversational system includes: an artificial intelligence to provide a conversation interface configured to execute multiple turns of human-like conversation with a user and a control logic, in communication with the conversation interface, and configured to generate one or more control signals based on evaluating multiple turns of upstream human-like conversation between the conversation interface and the user. The control signals contribute in part to construction of multiple turns of downstream human-like conversation between the conversation interface and the user.

Claims (33)

1. A multi-turn conversational system, comprising:

a conversation interface that is based on a first large language model and is configured to execute multiple turns of human-like conversation with a user based on a checklist that identifies tasks that the first large language model is to complete during the human-like conversation, wherein the first large language model is trained with over one thousand gradient update iterations;

a control logic, in communication with the conversation interface, and configured to generate control signals based on evaluating multiple turns of upstream human-like conversation between the conversation interface and the user, wherein the control signals contribute in part to construction of multiple turns of downstream human-like conversation between the conversation interface and the user; and

a second opinion module comprising an additional large language model to perform research into a portion of the human-like conversation in parallel with the human-like conversation taking place between the conversation interface and the user.

2. The multi-turn conversational system of claim 1 , wherein;

the control logic comprises a trigger detection logic, a question insertion logic, and an answer classification logic;

the trigger detection logic comprises a second large language model; and

the answer classification logic comprises a third large language model.

3. The multi-turn conversational system of claim 1 , wherein the second opinion module performs research into the portion of the human-like conversation based on one or more of:

determining one or more prescriptions associated with the user;

determining one or more co-morbidities associated with the user;

determining a family history associated with the user; or

any combination thereof.

4. The multi-turn conversational system of claim 2 , wherein the trigger detection logic is configured to evaluate the multiple turns of upstream human-like conversation and detect trigger exchanges in the multiple turns of upstream human-like conversation that require invoking the question insertion logic.

5. The multi-turn conversational system of claim 4 , wherein the question insertion logic is configured to select questions that correspond to the trigger exchanges, and to cause the conversation interface to use the questions to construct the multiple turns of downstream human-like conversation.

6. The multi-turn conversational system of claim 5 , wherein the questions comprise the control signals.

7. The multi-turn conversational system of claim 5 , wherein the conversation interface is further configured to pose to the user the questions, to receive, from the user, answers to the questions, and to transmit the answers to the answer classification logic.

8. The multi-turn conversational system of claim 7 , wherein the answer classification logic is configured to analyze the answers and to perform a classification of the answers to at least one answer category in a plurality of answer categories, and to generate the control signals based on the classification.

9. The multi-turn conversational system of claim 8 , wherein the control signals, generated in response to the answer classification logic classifying the answers to a first kickout category, cause the conversation interface to end the human-like conversation with the user.

10. The multi-turn conversational system of claim 5 , wherein the conversation interface emulates a human healthcare professional, wherein the user is a human, and wherein the human-like conversation is a healthcare conversation.

11. The multi-turn conversational system of claim 10 , wherein the trigger exchanges include symptom descriptors that identify one or more symptoms.

12. The multi-turn conversational system of claim 11 , wherein the questions comprise medical condition queries that probe at least one symptom mentioned by the human and identified by at least one symptom descriptor associated with the trigger exchanges.

13. The multi-turn conversational system of claim 12 , wherein the answers identify medical conditions associated with the at least one symptom and experienced by the human.

14. The multi-turn conversational system of claim 13 , wherein the answer classification logic is further configured to classify the answers and generate the control signals based on a severity of the medical conditions.

15. The multi-turn conversational system of claim 14 , wherein the control signals, generated in response to the answer classification logic classifying the answers to a second kickout category, cause the conversation interface to connect the user with a human healthcare professional.

16. The multi-turn conversational system of claim 15 , wherein the control signals, generated in response to the answer classification logic classifying the answers to a third kickout category, cause the conversation interface to schedule a healthcare appointment of the user with a human healthcare professional.

17. The multi-turn conversational system of claim 1 , wherein the human-like conversation is text-based.

18. The multi-turn conversational system of claim 1 , wherein the human-like conversation is audio-based.

19. A system, comprising:

a conversation interface that is based on a first large language model and is configured to execute multiple turns of human-like conversation with a user based on a checklist that identifies tasks that the first large language model is to complete during the human-like conversation;

a control logic, in communication with the conversation interface, and configured to generate one or more control signals based on evaluating multiple turns of upstream human-like conversation between the conversation interface and the user; and

a second opinion module comprising an additional large language model to perform research into a portion of the human-like conversation in parallel with the human-like conversation taking place between the conversation interface and the user.

20. The system of claim 19 , wherein the one or more control signals contribute in part to construction of multiple turns of downstream human-like conversation between the conversation interface and the user.
