The present application provides techniques for implementing a skill component, configured to perform an assessment of a user, as part of a speech processing system. The system may receive a natural language user input requesting assistance. The skill component may, using one or more machine learning models, determine at least one characteristic of the natural language input (e.g., lexical embedding, acoustic embedding, topic, tone, etc.). The skill component may determine state data for a present session, where the state data indicates a topic of the natural language user input and/or a user state associated with the natural language user input. The skill component may determine past state data of one or more past sessions, and generate a question to the user based on the state data for the natural language user input and the past state data.
