Abstract:
Features are disclosed for processing a user utterance with respect to multiple subject matters or domains, and for selecting a likely result from a particular domain with which to respond to the utterance or otherwise take action. A user utterance may be transcribed by an automatic speech recognition (“ASR”) module, and the results may be provided to a multi-domain natural language understanding (“NLU”) engine. The multi-domain NLU engine may process the transcription(s) in multiple individual domains rather than in a single domain. In some cases, the transcription(s) may be processed in multiple individual domains in parallel or substantially simultaneously. In addition, hints may be generated based on previous user interactions and other data. The ASR module, multi-domain NLU engine, and other components of a spoken language processing system may use the hints to more efficiently process input or more accurately generate output.

Claim (Index 41):
A computer-implemented method comprising:\n under control of one or more computing devices configured with specific computer-executable instructions,\n receiving text data representing at least a portion of an utterance; \n determining that a first natural language understanding (\u201cNLU\u201d) component of a plurality of NLU components is to be used to generate response data, wherein the first NLU component is associated with a first domain of a plurality of domains; \n generating first intent data using the text data and the first NLU component, wherein the first intent data represents a first intent associated with the first domain; \n generating second intent data using the text data and the first NLU component, wherein the second intent data represents a second intent associated with the first domain; \n selecting the first intent data based at least partly on a relative rank of the first intent data with respect to the second intent data; and \n generating the response data using the first intent data.
