Abstract
A neural speech-to-meaning system is trained on speech audio expressing specific intents. The system receives speech audio and produces indications of when the speech in the audio matches the intent. Intents may include variables that can have a large range of values, such as the names of places. The neural speech-to-meaning system simultaneously recognizes enumerated values of variables and general intents. Recognized variable values can serve as arguments to API requests made in response to recognized intents. Accordingly, neural speech-to-meaning supports voice virtual assistants that serve users based on API hits.
