Demo
Contextual Understanding in Siri
This is a demonstration of the context understanding technology shipped in Siri. Users can refer to an aforementioned entity using anaphora or nominal ellipsis, refer to an entity on screen, or correct a previous error by Siri or the user. Context understanding for Siri leverages several backend ML solutions such as query rewriting and reference resolution. This work is a step towards having more natural conversations with Siri, and was shipped in iOS 16.
All ICASSP attendees are invited to stop by the Apple booth (booth number 16, located next to the Dome Bar main entrance of the Rodos Palace Luxury Convention Resort) to experience this demo in person.
