  • Patent number: 10331784
    Abstract: A system and method is provided of disambiguating natural language processing requests based on smart matching, request confirmations that are used until ambiguities are resolved, and machine learning. Smart matching may match entities (e.g., contact names, place names, etc.) based on user information such as call logs, user preferences, etc. If multiple matches are found and disambiguation has not yet been learned by the system, the system may request that the user identify the intended entity. On the other hand, if disambiguation has been learned by the system, the system may execute the request without confirmations. The system may use a record of confirmations and/or other information to continuously learn a user's inputs in order to reduce ambiguities and no longer prompt for confirmations.
