Abstract
Features are disclosed for determining an element of a user utterance or user intent in conjunction with one or more related elements of the user utterance or user intent. A user utterance may be transcribed by an automatic speech recognition ('ASR') module, and the results may be provided to a natural language understanding ('NLU') module. The NLU module may perform named entity recognition, intent classification, and/or other processes on the ASR results. In addition, the NLU module may determine or verify the values associated with the recognized named entities using a data store of known values. When two or more named entities are related, their values may be determined and/or verified in conjunction with each other in order to preserve the relationship between them.
