Abstract

A language processor includes a parser and an invoker. The parser parses a spoken statement to detect a plurality of words in the spoken statement and generates a parse tree based on the detected plurality of words. The invoker determines, based on the parse tree, a plurality of potential services to invoke to respond to the spoken statement, calculates a confidence score for each potential service of the plurality of potential services, wherein each confidence score indicates a likelihood, that a potential service is a service requested by the spoken statement, and determines, based on the calculated confidence scores, to invoke a potential service of the plurality of potential services in response to the spoken statement. This helps reduce a number of questions that a caller associated with the spoken statement has to answer before the language processor determines a service to invoke to respond to the caller.
