Abstract
Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on a computer storage medium, for disambiguating contact information are described. A method includes determining, for each of multiple communications that were initiated by a user of a mobile device, a time when the communication was initiated or received; determining, for each of multiple contacts associated with the user, a probability associated with the contact based at least on the times when the communications were initiated or received; weighting a contact disambiguation grammar according to the probabilities; and processing audio data using the contact disambiguation grammar to select a particular contact.
