Abstract

A natural language system may be configured to act as a participant in a conversation between two users. The system may determine when a user expression such as speech, a gesture, or the like is directed from one user to the other. The system may processing input data related the expression (such as audio data, input data, language processing result data, conversation context data, etc.) to determine if the system should interject a response to the user-to-user expression. If so, the system may process the input data to determine a response and output it. The system may track that response as part of the data related to the ongoing conversation.
