CONTEXTUAL LANGUAGE GENERATION BY LEVERAGING LANGUAGE UNDERSTANDING

Technology is provided for improving digital assistant performance by generating and presenting suggestions to users for completing a task or a session. To generate the suggestions, a machine learned language prediction model is trained with features extracted from multiple sources, such as log data and session context. When input is received from a user, the trained machine learned language prediction model is used to determine the most likely suggestion to present to the user to lead to successful task completion. In generating the suggestion, intermediate suggestion data, such as a domain, intent, and/or slot, is generated for the suggestion. From the generated intermediate suggestion data for the suggestion, a surface form of the suggestion is generated that can be presented to the user. The resulting suggestion and related context may further be used to continue training the machine learned language prediction model.
