Abstract
Techniques for selecting a skill component to process a natural language input are described. When a natural language input is received, natural language understanding (NLU) output data representing the natural language input is generated, and skill components (capable of processing the NLU output data) are determined. Thereafter, rules (for preventing the invocation of skill components) are implemented in a tiered manner, resulting in the determination of a subset of the skill components. The subset of skill components is ranked using a machine learning model(s), and the top-ranked skill component is called to process the NLU output data.
