    Abstract: Systems and processes for operating an intelligent automated assistant are provided. An example process for determining user intent includes receiving a natural language input and detecting an event. The process further includes, determining, at a first time, based on the natural language input, a first value for a first node of a parsing structure; and determining, at a second time, based on the detected data event, a second value for a second node of the parsing structure. The process further includes in accordance with a determination that the first time and the second time are within the predetermined time: determining, using the parsing structure, the first value, and the second value, a user intent associated with the natural language input; initiating a task based on the determined intent; and providing an output indicative of the task.

    Abstract: Systems and processes for rule-based natural language processing are provided. In accordance with one example, a method includes, at an electronic device with one or more processors, receiving a natural-language input; determining, based on the natural-language input, an input expression pattern; determining whether the input expression pattern matches a respective expression pattern of each of a plurality of intent definitions; and in accordance with a determination that the input expression pattern matches an expression pattern of an intent definition of the plurality of intent definitions: selecting an intent definition of the plurality of intent definitions having an expression pattern matching the input expression pattern; performing a task associated with the selected intent definition; and outputting an output indicating whether the task was performed.

    Abstract: A method and apparatus are provided for building an intelligent automated assistant. Embodiments of the present invention rely on the concept of “active ontologies” (e.g., execution environments constructed in an ontology-like manner) to build and run applications for use by intelligent automated assistants. In one specific embodiment, a method for building an automated assistant includes interfacing a service-oriented architecture that includes a plurality of remote services to an active ontology, where the active ontology includes at least one active processing element that models a domain. At least one of the remote services is then registered for use in the domain.
