Systems and processes for natural language processing using vocabularies with compressed serialized tries are described in the present disclosure. In one example process, natural language input is received. The natural language input is parsed, using a vocabulary, to determine a corresponding user intent. The parsing includes using a data structure of the vocabulary to map a first word of the natural language input to first semantic information and a second word of the natural language input to second semantic information. The data structure includes pointers that map to a same semantic data object of the vocabulary. The first semantic information and the second semantic information are determined using the same semantic data object. The user intent is determined based on the first semantic information and the second semantic information. Performance of a task corresponding to the determined user intent is initiated.
