Abstract
Methods, systems, and computer readable storage medium related to operating an intelligent digital assistant are disclosed. A text string is obtained from a speech input received from a user.

The text string is interpreted to derive a plurality of candidate interpretations of user intent. One of the candidate user intents is selected based on the information relating to the communication event.
