Abstract: A natural language system may be configured to act as a participant in a conversation between two users. The system may determine when a user expression such as speech, a gesture, or the like is directed from one user to the other. The system may processing input data related the expression (such as audio data, input data, language processing result data, conversation context data, etc.) to determine if the system should interject a response to the user-to-user expression. If so, the system may process the input data to determine a response and output it. The system may track that response as part of the data related to the ongoing conversation.

Abstract: Techniques for storing and using multi-session context are described. A system may store context data corresponding to a first interaction, where the context data may include action data, entity data and a profile identifier for a user. Later the stored context data may be retrieved during a second interaction corresponding to the entity of the second interaction. The second interaction may take place at a system different than the first interaction. The system may generate a response during the second interaction using the stored context data of the prior interaction.

Abstract: A system that is capable of resolving anaphora using timing data received by a local device. A local device outputs audio representing a list of entries. The audio may represent synthesized speech of the list of entries. A user can interrupt the device to select an entry in the list, such as by saying “that one.” The local device can determine an offset time representing the time between when audio playback began and when the user interrupted. The local device sends the offset time and audio data representing the utterance to a speech processing system which can then use the offset time and stored data to identify which entry on the list was most recently output by the local device when the user interrupted. The system can then resolve anaphora to match that entry and can perform additional processing based on the referred to item.
