Abstract: A virtual assistant uses context information to supplement natural language or gestural input from a user. Context helps to clarify the user's intent and to reduce the number of candidate interpretations of the user's input, and reduces the need for the user to provide excessive clarification input. Context can include any available information that is usable by the assistant to supplement explicit user input to constrain an information-processing problem and/or to personalize results. Context can be used to constrain solutions during various phases of processing, including, for example, speech recognition, natural language processing, task flow processing, and dialog generation.

Abstract translation: 虚拟助理使用上下文信息来补充来自用户的自然语言或手势输入。 上下文有助于澄清用户的意图并减少用户输入的候选解释数量，并减少用户提供过度澄清输入的需求。 上下文可以包含助理可用的任何可用信息，以补充显式用户输入以约束信息处理问题和/或个性化结果。 上下文可以用来约束处理的各个阶段的解决方案，包括例如语音识别，自然语言处理，任务流程处理和对话生成。
