Abstract

Incremental speech recognition results are generated and used to determine a user's intent from an utterance. Utterance audio data may be partitioned into multiple portions, and incremental speech recognition results may be generated from one or more of the portions. A natural language understanding module or some other language processing module can generate semantic representations of the utterance from the incremental speech recognition results. Stability of the determined intent may be determined over the course of time, and actions may be taken in response to meeting certain stability thresholds.
