Abstract

A natural language understanding (NLU) framework includes a lookup source framework, which enables a lookup source system to be defined having one or more lookup sources. The lookup source system can operate in a number of different manners to facilitate repository-aware inference of user utterances, for example, by facilitating vocabulary injection during compilation of an utterance meaning model and/or an understanding model. Additionally, the lookup source system can be leveraged to cleanse client-specific training data of sensitive values to generate generic training data that can be used to train the NLU framework of other clients. The lookup sources can be compiled in a synchronous or asynchronous manner, which enables lookup sources to be compiled in an on-demand basis from test source data. Additionally, understanding models that reference lookup sources can be periodically recompiled while leveraging the latest versions of the lookup sources for vocabulary injection.
