Tool for Facilitating the Development of New Language Understanding Scenarios

A system comprising:

• one or more hardware processor devices;
• and
• one or more computer-readable storage media storing machine-readable instructions which, when executed by the one or more hardware processor devices, cause the one or more hardware processor devices to:
• access a language understanding model having a plurality of classifiers configured to output parameters reflecting results of classification operations performed by the classifiers for a plurality of language understanding scenarios;
• receive input information specifying a subset of specific parameters selected from among the parameters of the language understanding model, the subset of specific parameters pertaining to a particular language understanding scenario to be handled by a particular application;
• store customization logic identifying the subset of specific parameters in a data store;
• and
• provide a constrained language understanding component based at least on the language understanding model, the constrained language understanding component being configured to perform interpretation of input language items based at least on the subset of specific parameters identified by the customization logic.

A method implemented by one or more computing devices, the method comprising:

• accessing a language understanding model having a plurality of classifiers configured to output parameters reflecting results of classification operations performed by the classifiers, the plurality of classifiers pertaining to a plurality of language understanding scenarios;
• receiving input information specifying a subset of specific parameters selected from among the parameters of the language understanding model, the subset of specific parameters pertaining to a particular language understanding scenario;
• storing customization logic identifying the subset of specific parameters in a data store;
• and
• providing a constrained language understanding component based at least on the customization logic and the language understanding model, the constrained language understanding component being configured to perform interpretation of input language items for the particular language understanding scenario.

A computer-readable storage medium storing computer-readable instructions which, when executed by one or more processor devices, cause the one or more processor devices to perform acts comprising:
