    Abstract: Systems, methods, and apparatuses for contextual natural language understanding are detailed. An exemplary method includes receiving a user utterance provided by a user within a multi-turn chat dialog between the user and a conversational agent; providing to a contextual natural language understanding framework: the user utterance, and contextual information associated with one or more previous turns of the multi-turn chat dialog, the contextual information associated with each turn of the one or more previous turns including a previous intent, a previous dialog act, and an elicited slot; and obtaining, from the contextual natural language understanding framework, an intent classification and one or more slot labels.

    Abstract: A spoken language understanding (SLU) system may include an automatic speech recognizer (ASR), an audio feature extractor, an optional synchronizer and a language understanding module. The ASR may produce a first set of input data representing transcripts of utterances. The audio feature extractor may produce a second set of input data representing audio features of the utterances, in particular, non-transcript specific characteristics of the speaker in one or more portions the utterances. The two sets of input data may be provided for the language understanding module to predict intents and slot labels for the utterances. The SLU system may use the optional synchronizer to align the two sets of input data before providing them to the language understanding module.
