Abstract:
Systems perform methods of interpreting spoken utterances from a user and responding to the utterances by providing requested information or performing a requested action. The utterances are interpreted in the context of multiple domains. Each interpretation is assigned a relevancy score based on how well the interpretation represents what the speaker intended. Interpretations having a relevancy score below a threshold for its associated domain are discarded. A remaining interpretation is chosen based on choosing the most relevant domain for the utterance. The user may be prompted to provide disambiguation information that can be used to choose the best domain. Storing past associations of utterance representation and domain choice allows for measuring the strength of correlation between uttered words and phrases with relevant domains. This correlation strength information may allow the system to automatically disambiguate alternate interpretations without requiring user input.
