Abstract:
Features are disclosed for processing and interpreting natural language, such as interpretations of user utterances, in multi-turn dialog interactions. Context information regarding interpretations of user utterances and system responses to the user utterances can be maintained. Subsequent user utterances can be interpreted using the context information, rather than being interpreted without context. In some cases, interpretations of subsequent user utterances can be merged with interpretations of prior user utterances using a rule-based framework. Rules may be defined to determine which interpretations may be merged and under what circumstances they may be merged.
Abstract:
Features are disclosed for processing user utterances and applying user-supplied corrections to future user utterances. If a user utterance is determined to relate to a speech processing error that occurred when processing a previous utterance, information about the error or a correction thereto may be stored. Such information may be referred to as correction information. Illustratively, the correction information may be stored in a skip list. Subsequent utterances may be processed based at least partly on the correction information. For example, speech processing results generated from processing subsequent utterances that include a term associated with the error may be removed or re-scored in order to reduce or prevent the chance that an error will be repeated.
