Techniques for using logit values for classifying utterances and messages input to chatbot systems in natural language processing. A method can include a chatbot system receiving an utterance generated by a user interacting with the chatbot system. The chatbot system can input the utterance into a machine-learning model including a set of binary classifiers. Each binary classifier of the set of binary classifiers can be associated with a modified logit function. The method can also include the machine-learning model using the modified logit function to generate a set of distance-based logit values for the utterance. The method can also include the machine-learning model applying an enhanced activation function to the set of distance-based logit values to generate a predicted output. The method can also include the chatbot system classifying, based on the predicted output, the utterance as being associated with the particular class.
