Abstract
Systems and methods for determining a user intent or goal for contextual language understanding by utilizing information from one or more previous user natural language inputs and one or more previous system generated responses to the user natural language inputs are provided. More specifically, the systems and methods utilize a common schema for determining features from the responses and natural language inputs and provide carryover tracking between responses and the natural language inputs. Accordingly, the systems and methods for contextual language understanding provide for a more accurate, a more reliable, and a more efficient context carryover and goal tracking system when compared to systems and methods that do not utilized the responses in determining the user goal/intent.
