Abstract
Systems and methods for target-device resolution are disclosed. A user may speak a user utterance requesting an action to be performed with respect to an accessory device, such as a smart-home device. The user utterance may include an identifier for the accessory device, but that identifier may not correspond to a naming indicator of an accessory device and/or may correspond to multiple naming indicators. In these examples, one or more models are utilized to identify which accessory device is most likely to correspond to the accessory device targeted by the user utterance for operation.
