Creating a mixed-initiative grammar from directed dialog grammars
TLDR
In this article, a method of building a mixed-initiative grammar can include receiving one or more conjoin phrases, wherein each conjoin phrase is associated with a selected one of the plurality of directed dialog grammars, and receiving a user input specifying a selected grammar generation technique.Abstract:
A method of building a mixed-initiative grammar can include receiving one or more conjoin phrases, wherein each conjoin phrase is associated with a selected one of the plurality of directed dialog grammars, and receiving a user input specifying a selected grammar generation technique. The mixed-initiative grammar can be automatically generated, in accordance with the selected grammar generation technique, such that the mixed-initiative grammar specifies an allowable ordering of sets when interpreting a user spoken utterance and whether duplicative phrases are allowable within the user spoken utterance.read more

Using context information to facilitate processing of commands in a virtual assistant
TL;DR: In this article, a virtual assistant uses context information to supplement natural language or gestural input from a user, which helps to clarify the user's intent and reduce the number of candidate interpretations of user's input, and reduces the need for the user to provide excessive clarification input.
