Abstract

Systems, methods and computer program products for processing natural language input are provided. Natural language input is processed by one or more processing rules. The processing rules may specify one or more actions to be performed. The processing rules may alternatively or additionally split up the natural language input into a plurality of simpler sub-inputs, each of which may then be processed by one or more processing rules. The processing rules themselves may be generalized, which generalization may be based on user input. In the event that a suitable processing rule cannot be found, a request may be made to a user to provide instructions for processing the natural language input.
