Abstract:
Systems perform methods of interpreting spoken utterances from a user and responding to the utterances by providing requested information or performing a requested action. The utterances are interpreted in the context of multiple domains. Each interpretation is assigned a relevancy score based on how well the interpretation represents what the speaker intended. Interpretations having a relevancy score below a threshold for its associated domain are discarded. A remaining interpretation is chosen based on choosing the most relevant domain for the utterance. The user may be prompted to provide disambiguation information that can be used to choose the best domain. Storing past associations of utterance representation and domain choice allows for measuring the strength of correlation between uttered words and phrases with relevant domains. This correlation strength information may allow the system to automatically disambiguate alternate interpretations without requiring user input.

Claim (Index 12):
A non-transitory computer readable medium storing code that, when executed by at least one computer, causes the one or more computer to:\n interpret a natural language utterance according to a first domain to create (i) a first interpretation that is unique to the first domain and (ii) a corresponding first relevancy score, the first domain having a first relevancy threshold associated therewith; interpret the same natural language utterance according to a second domain to create (i) a second interpretation that is unique to the second domain and different from the first interpretation and (ii) a corresponding second relevancy score, the second domain having a second relevancy threshold associated therewith,\n wherein each of the first and second domains represents a different subject area and comprises a different set of grammar rules; \n determine whether the first relevancy score exceeds the first relevancy threshold; determine whether the second relevancy score exceeds the second relevancy threshold; present, to a user, a list of candidate domains that includes (i) the first domain if the first relevancy score is determined to exceed the first relevancy threshold and (ii) the second domain if the second relevancy score is determined to exceed the second relevancy threshold; ask the user to choose a domain from the presented list; and present, to the user, only one of the first interpretation and the second interpretation according to a domain chosen by the user.
