## Abstract

Methods and systems comprising a first portion of a model that includes a model component that is trained to perform sentiment analysis based on training data for a plurality of users (e.g., what language, phrases, and/or responses the population at large uses). The first portion of the model also includes a model component that is trained to identify user intent based on the sentiment analysis that is specific to user groups. For example, the system first determines the likely context and/or meaning of communications of the user. The system then determines a likely intent of the user based on the likely context and/or meaning of communications (e.g., based on a correlation of the meaning of communications of the user and the intents of users corresponding to a user group of the user).
