PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide mechanisms for improving interpretation and processing of commands provided to a virtual assistant.SOLUTION: A virtual assistant uses context information to supplement natural language or gestural input from a user. Context helps to clarify the user's intent, to reduce the number of candidate interpretations of the user's input, and to reduce the need for the user to provide very clear input. The context includes available information that is usable by the assistant to supplement explicit user input to constrain an information-processing problem and/or to personalize results. The context can be used to constrain solutions during various phases of processing, including, for example, speech recognition, natural language processing, task flow processing, and dialog generation. |
