Abstract: A system for interpreting intents and providing recommendations based on the intents is provided. The system may include a multiple-intent interpreter configured to receive a customer expression and interprets a plurality of intents from the expression. The plurality of intents may be processed by the system to discover other related intents from an intent network. In searching the intent network to discover related intents, the intents may be grouped into sets, where each intent set may correspond to one recommendation. The system may further include a recommender that provides a set of recommendations based on a set or sets of intents. Each recommendation may be evaluated with a risk index that is calculated based on news reports, financial data, blogs, and opinion write-ups, which may be available from public domain as well from private domain.
