Abstract

The results of a study aimed at improving the process of evaluating the characteristics of a human-machine dialogue carried out in natural language are presented. The relevance of the development of tools for estimating the probabilistic-temporal characteristics of a question-answer system from the point of view of achieving the goal of a human-machine dialogue, which is to satisfy a specific information need of the user, is substantiated. A model of the human-machine dialogue process based on the use of the mathematical apparatus of probabilistic-time graphs is presented. The developed model is focused on calculating the probability of achieving the goal of the dialogue and its average duration, taking into account the characteristics of the question-answer system and the values of indicators characterizing the user's characteristics. It is shown that the application of the model makes it possible to justify the choice of dialogue systems with specific characteristics and recommend them to certain user groups to meet information needs.
