The granted patent (Publication Number: US11868732B2) discloses a computerized method and system for improving the performance of a virtual assistant during conversations with users. The system involves displaying a conversation user interface for interaction, processing user input data and virtual assistant responses using natural language processing modules, and evaluating the conversation turns with a risk indicator module to determine the confidence level of the virtual assistant's understanding. If a user restates previous input and the virtual assistant fails to respond adequately, the system flags the response as a failure, allowing for further analysis and improvement.

Furthermore, the system includes features such as comparing confidence values to threshold levels, mapping user actions to intent units for appropriate responses, and calculating risk coefficients and response content scores to predict and prevent future instances of failed responses. The system also tags conversation data with presentation modes, identifies high-risk presentation modes for exclusion, and predicts probabilities of restatement turns in future conversations. By utilizing these methods and technologies, the virtual assistant system aims to enhance user interactions, improve response accuracy, and optimize performance based on past conversation data and risk assessments.
