TLDR
The extensive syntactic ambiguity inherent in natural language has been convincingly shown by such systems as the Harvard syntactic analyzer, but no semantic techniques are in prospect for satisfactory resolution of this ambiguity by computer.Abstract:
The extensive syntactic ambiguity inherent in natural language has been convincingly shown by such systems as the Harvard syntactic analyzer. Furthermore, no semantic techniques are in prospect for satisfactory resolution of this ambiguity by computer. In contrast, well-developed semantic techniques exist for formal languages.read more

Intelligent Automated Assistant
Thomas R. Gruber,Adam Cheyer,Dag Kittlaus,Didier Rene Guzzoni,Christopher Dean Brigham,Richard Donald Giuli,Marcello Bastea-Forte,Harry J. Saddler +7 more
TL;DR: In this article, an intelligent automated assistant system engages with the user in an integrated, conversational manner using natural language dialog, and invokes external services when appropriate to obtain information or perform various actions.
Patent
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.

Method and apparatus for building an intelligent automated assistant
Adam Cheyer,Didier Rene Guzzoni +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a method for building an automated assistant includes interfacing a service-oriented architecture that includes a plurality of remote services to an active ontology, where the active ontologies includes at least one active processing element that models a domain.
Patent
Contextual voice commands
TL;DR: In this paper, techniques and systems for implementing contextual voice commands are described and a physical input that relates the selected data item to an operation in a second context is received, and the operation is performed on the input data item in the second context.
Patent
Electronic Devices with Voice Command and Contextual Data Processing Capabilities
TL;DR: In this paper, an electronic device may capture a voice command from a user and store contextual information about the state of the electronic device when the voice command is received, such as a desktop computer or a remote server.

Storage and retrieval of aspects of meaning in directed graph structures
TL;DR: Although LISP and other list processing languages are ideally suited for producing complex associative structures, they are inadequate vehicles for language processing on any large scale—at least until they can use auxiliary memory as a continuous extension of core memory.
