US Patent 11023683 Out-of-domain sentence detection

A computer-implemented method includes obtaining a training data set including text data indicating one or more phrases or sentences. The computer-implemented method includes training a classifier using supervised machine learning based on the training data set and additional text data indicating one or more out-of-domain phrases or sentences. The computer-implemented method includes training an autoencoder using unsupervised machine learning based on the training data. The computer-implemented method further includes combining the classifier and the autoencoder to generate the out-of-domain sentence detector configured to generate an output indicating a classification of whether input text data corresponds to an out-of-domain sentence. The output is based on a combination of a first output of the classifier and a second output of the autoencoder.
