Adaptive semantic platform architecture

Abstract

An adaptive shared infrastructure that can be easily utilized to enable natural interaction between user(s) and machine system(s) is provided. Additionally, the novel innovation can provide interactive techniques that produce accurate intent-to-action mapping based upon a user input. Further, the innovation can provide novel mechanism by which assets (e.g., documents, actions) can be authored. The authoring mechanisms can enable the generation of learning models such that the system can infer a user intent based at least in part upon an analysis of a user input. In response thereto, the system can discover an asset, or group of assets based upon the inference. Moreover, the innovation can provide a natural language interface that learns and/or adapts based upon one or more user input(s), action(s), and/or state(s).
