The results of the study aimed at improving the process of evaluating the effectiveness of the functioning of dialogue systems based on the development of models of fuzzy inference and neural network learning are presented. The relevance of the development of tools for analyzing the performance of question-answer functions by software tools called virtual assistants is substantiated. As values for evaluating the effectiveness of the functioning of dialogue systems, it is proposed to use particular indicators that characterize the accuracy, conciseness and completeness of answers to the questions asked. The resulting performance evaluation is determined by the value of the generalized indicator, calculated taking into account the values of particular indicators. An algorithm for calculating a generalized indicator based on the use of fuzzy inference has been developed. The values of parameters of membership functions and individual conclusions of fuzzy rules necessary for its implementation are proposed to be calculated on the basis of a neural network learning algorithm. The decision to complete the neural network tuning of the fuzzy inference parameters is made based on the calculation and analysis of the current learning error. The results of experimental studies on evaluating the effectiveness of the functioning of dialogue systems based on the proposed algorithms are presented.
