Abstract
A computing system is operable as a virtual personal assistant (VPA). Among other things, a semantic preprocessor of the VPA recognizes natural language user input that is intended as a reference to a known semantic type, and creates a semantic interpretation of the natural language input. The semantic interpretation may be used by a natural language understanding module of the VPA.
