Architecture described herein can use the end-to-end memory networks to encode inputs, e.g., utterances, with intents and slots, which can be stored as embeddings in memory, and in decoding the architecture can exploit latent contextual information from memory, e.g., demographic context, visual context, semantic context, etc. e.g., via an attention model, to leverage previously stored semantics for semantic parsing, e.g., for joint intent prediction and slot tagging. In examples, architecture is configured to build an end-to-end memory network model for contextual, e.g., multi-turn, language understanding, to apply the end-to-end memory network model to multiple turns of conversational input; and to fill slots for output of contextual, e.g., multi-turn, language understanding of the conversational input. The neural network can be learned using backpropagation from output to input using gradient descent optimization.
