Abstract
Systems and processes for operating an intelligent automated assistant are provided. An example process receives natural language input and determines a first and a second parsing result for the natural language input. The first and the second parsing results include respective mappings of one or more properties of a domain corresponding to the natural language input to one or more words of the natural language input. The process determines whether the second parsing result corresponds to a data item in a knowledge base, and in accordance with determining that the second parsing result corresponds to the data item in the knowledge base, the process ranks the second parsing result higher than the first parsing result. Based on the ranking, the process generates a task flow using the second parsing result and executes the task flow to provide an output based on the data item.
