In machine learning, a Confidence Score is a number between zero and one that represents the likelihood that the output of a machine learning model is correct and will satisfy a user’s request.
Translating that to Conversational AI, Confidence Score represents the likelihood that your bot is returning the correct response to an utterance. Zammo translates the confidence score into a percentage between zero and one hundred percent.
Answers that do not meet the confidence score threshold will not be returned by the bot. In addition to finding no matches or a weak match to an utterance, answers may have a low confidence score if too many matches are found. Therefore, it may be useful to lower the confidence score threshold rather than adding more question alternatives or new question-answer pairs.
