Abstract

Techniques for determining an intent of a subsequent user input in a dialog are described. The system processes historic interaction data that is structured based on natural language understanding (NLU) hypotheses, with each NLU hypothesis being associated with one or more past user inputs received by the system, one or more sample inputs, and one or more past system responses. Based on processing of the historic interaction data and dialog data of previous turns of the dialog, the system determines candidate intents for the subsequent turn of the dialog. The system also uses context data to determine the candidate intents.
