Instead of treating successive input independently, the system maintains a dialog context in which information generated in response to recent input may be used to inform responses to further input.

Natural language translation techniques

A system for resolving a user's question regarding media at the user's location where the question includes ambiguity as to the context of the question. Context information is acquired from a device or devices at the user's location, and if multiple possible contexts are identified, the system may attempt to resolve the question for more than one of the possible contexts. The system for answering questions and the source of the media may be different and independent.
