Abstract

A natural language processing system that can determine an overall score for a natural language hypothesis using hypothesis-specific component scores from different aspects of NLU processing. The individual component scores may be weighted by weights trained to optimize the overall scores relative to each other. Each domain of the system may be configured with a separate component that determines the overall score with respect to the domain. Natural language hypotheses can be ranked using the overall score either within a specific domain or on a cross-domain basis.
