Abstract
Techniques for determining when speech is directed at another individual of a dialog, and storing a representation of such user-directed speech for use as context when processing subsequently-received system-directed speech are described. A system receives audio data and/or video data and determines therefrom that speech in the audio data is user-directed. Based on this, the system determine whether the speech is able to be used to perform an action by the system. If the speech is able to be used to perform an action, the system stores a natural language representation of the speech. Thereafter, when the system receives system-directed speech, the system generates a rewrite of a natural language representation of the system-directed speech based on the previously-received user-directed speech. The system then determines output data responsive to the system-directed speech using the rewritten natural language representation.
