Abstract

Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer-readable media, for using artificial intelligence models to detect and mitigate ambiguity in natural language text. In some implementations, a system receives a text input from a user. The system classifies the text input as containing an ambiguity. Based on classifying the text input as containing an ambiguity, the system sends (i) a response to the text input generated using a first interpretation or meaning and (ii) one or more alternative interpretations or meanings. The system receives data indicating user input that selects one of the one or more alternative interpretations, and in response the system sends a second response generated using the selected alternative interpretation or meaning.
