Abstract
Described herein is a system for prompting a user for clarification when an automatic speech recognition (ASR) system encounters ambiguity with respect to the user's input. The feedback provided by the user is used to retrain machine-learning models and/or to generate new machine-learning models. Based on the type of ambiguity, the system may determine to retrain one or more ASR models that are widely used by the system or to generate/update one or more user-specific models that are used to process inputs from one or more particular users.
