Abstract

A method, a system and a computer program product for interpreting a verbal input in a multimodal dialog system are provided. The method includes assigning (302) a confidence value to at least one word generated by a verbal recognition component. The method further includes generating (304) a semantic unit confidence score for the verbal input. The generation of a semantic unit confidence score is based on the confidence value of at least one word and at least one semantic confidence operator.
