Abstract
Systems and methods are provided for inferring explicit user intentions based on user conversation data and associated spatial-temporal data of the user. For example, a method includes detecting a named entity in a conversation of a user communicating on a mobile computing device of the user, obtaining spatio-temporal information associated with the user, wherein the spatio-temporal information comprises information regarding one or more locations of the user and timing of the user's presence at the one or more locations, and utilizing the spatio-temporal information to disambiguate the named entity detected in the conversation of the user. The disambiguated named entity and the spatio-temporal data associated with the user are utilized to determine user intentions and to generate or update user profile information associated with the user.
