Abstract
Techniques for determining a follow-up natural language prompt, to continue a user-system dialog, are described. The system determines ASR output data representing a user input and/or a system-generated responsive thereto. The system determines one or more entities represented in the ASR output data and/or the system-generated response, and identifies one or more natural language prompts associated with the one or more entities in storage. The system filters out prompts classified as likely to result in an unsatisfactory user experience, using dialog history data including a previous user input(s) and/or a previous system-generated response(s). The system determines context(s) associated with the instant user and/or device, and uses this context(s), the ASR output data, and/or the system-generated response to determine which of the follow-up prompts is to be presented to the user.
