An intelligent query system for processing voiced-based queries is
disclosed, which uses a combination of both statistical and semantic
based processing to identify the question posed by the user by
understanding the meaning of the user's utterance. Based on identifying
the meaning of the utterance, the system selects a single answer that
best matches the user's query. The answer that is paired to this single
question is then retrieved and presented to the user. The system, as
implemented, accepts environmental variables selected by the user and is
scalable to provide answers to a variety and quantity of user-initiated
queries.
