Abstract
A system capable of performing natural language understanding (NLU) using different application domains in parallel. A model takes incoming query text and determines a list of potential supplemental intent categories corresponding to the text. Supplemental applications within those categories are then identified as likely candidates for responding to the query. Application specific domains, including NLU components for the particular supplemental applications, are then activated and process the query text in parallel. Further, certain system default domains may also process incoming queries substantially in parallel with the supplemental applications. The different results are scored and ranked to determine highest scoring NLU results.
