Abstract
Intelligent Personal Assistants (IPAs) of today (e.g., Google’s Assistant, Apple’s Siri, and Microsoft’s Cortana) are rapidly transforming how humans interact with computers. However, these systems commonly behave like amnesiacs; they often do not remember what the user told them seconds ago, which inhibits their ability to learn new concepts over an extended period of time. This research project proposes a model that will enhance the memory capabilities of IPAs by describing an incrementally flexible dialogue system architecture. The model would enable an IPA to form long-term concepts and relationships from natural language input without the use of a predefined schema. Not only would these concepts improve an IPA’s response to certain types of queries, user interaction would feel more personal and natural.
