Exploiting knowledge base to generate responses for natural language dialog listening agents

We developed a natural language dialog listening agent that uses a knowledge base (KB) to generate rich and relevant responses. Our system extracts an important named entity from a user utterance, then scans the KB to extract contents related to this entity. The system can generate diverse and relevant responses by assembling the related KB contents into appropriate sentences. Fifteen students tested our system; they gave it higher approval scores than they gave other systems. These results demonstrate that our system generated various responses and encouraged users to continue talking.
