Abstract
This disclosure proposes systems and methods for processing natural language inputs using data associated with multiple language recognition contexts (LRC). A system using multiple LRCs can receive input data from a device, identify a first identifier associated with the device, and further identify second identifiers associated with the first identifier and representing candidate users of the device. The system can access language processing data used for natural language processing for the LRCs corresponding to each of the first and second identifiers, and process the input data using the language processing data at one or more stages of automatic speech recognition, natural language understanding, entity resolution, and/or command execution. User recognition can reduce the number of candidate users, and thus the amount of data used to process the input data. Dynamic arbitration can select from between competing hypotheses representing the first identifier and a second identifier, respectively.
