SYSTEM AND METHOD OF PROVIDING INTENT PREDICTIONS FOR AN UTTERANCE PRIOR TO A SYSTEM DETECTION OF AN END OF THE UTTERANCE

In certain implementations, intent prediction is provided for a natural language utterance based on a portion of the natural language utterance prior to a system detection of an end of the natural language utterance. In some implementations, a first portion of a natural language utterance of a user may be received. Speech recognition may be performed on the first portion of the natural language utterance to recognize one or more words of the first portion of the natural language utterance. Context information for the natural language utterance may be obtained. Prior to a detection of an end of the natural language utterance, a first intent may be predicted based on the one or more words of the first portion and the context information. One or more user requests may be determined based on the first predicted intent.
