Abstract
Techniques for selecting an application to perform an action based on a user satisfaction with a current exchange are described. A user speaks an utterance and the system generates dialog state data corresponding to various information associated with a current exchange between the user and the system, including input audio data, speech processing results, context data, personal graph data, etc. The system may estimate a user satisfaction value associated with the current exchange and update the dialog state data to include the estimated user satisfaction value. The system processes the updated dialog state to generate candidate actions corresponding to actions to be performed by an application in response to the utterance. The system may process to select a single action from the candidate actions and generate a request for the application to perform the action.
