Abstract
An arrangement and corresponding method are described for natural language processing. A natural language understanding (NLU) arrangement processes a natural language input to determine a corresponding sentence-level interpretation. A user state component maintains user context data that characterizes an operating context of the NLU arrangement. Operation of the NLU arrangement is biased by the user context data.
