Techniques for processing a user input are described. Text data representing a user input is processed with respect to at least one finite state transducer (FST) to generate at least one FST hypothesis. Context information may be required to traverse one or more paths of the at least one FST. The text data is also processed using at least one statistical model (e.g., perform intent classification, named entity recognition, and/or domain classification processing) to generate at least one statistical model hypothesis. The at least one FST hypothesis and the at least one statistical model hypothesis are input to a reranker that determines a most likely interpretation of the user input.
