Abstract
Examples of the present disclosure improve decision-making for input understanding to assist in determining how to best respond to a user input. A received input is analyzed using an input recognition component, input understanding component and input context component. Potential response options are determined. If uncertainty exists with respect to responding to the received input, an uncertainty value and a cost of misclassification are generated for the potential response options to assist in making a decision as to how to best respond to the received input. The uncertainty value is determined for a potential response and parameters associated with the potential response and the cost of misclassification is a cost associated with pursuing a potential response if the potential response turns out to be incorrect. A response is selected to transmit to a user based on analyzing the generated uncertainty value and the generated cost of misclassification for the potential responses.
