1. A method for disambiguating a communication received from a user based on a relationship between media assets recently accessed by the user and content of the communication, the method comprising:
- receiving, by control circuitry, the communication;
in response to receiving the communication, processing, by the control circuitry, the communication to identify a portion of the communication;
identifying a plurality of candidate interpretations for the portion;
determining based on a profile of the user that the user has accessed a first media asset that is associated with a first interpretation of the plurality of candidate interpretations more recently than a second media asset that is associated with a second interpretation of the plurality of candidate interpretations;
selecting the first interpretation as a determined meaning of the portion, based on the determining that the user has accessed the first media asset more recently than the second media asset; and
providing a media asset recommendation to the user based on the determined meaning.

Abstract
Systems and methods are disclosed herein to provide information to a user based on a symbol with a plurality of interpretations. Each candidate interpretation for the symbol is identified and compared to an attribute of a user profile. The meaning of the symbol is determined and the user profile is updated with the meaning of the symbol. This meaning may be used to provide relevant information to the user.

11. A system for disambiguating a communication received from a user based on a relationship between media assets recently accessed by the user and content of the communication, the system comprising:
control circuitry configured to; receive the communication; in response to receiving the communication, process the communication to identify a portion of the communication; identify a plurality of candidate interpretations for the portion; determine based on a profile of the user that the user has accessed a first media asset that is associated with a first interpretation of the plurality of candidate interpretations more recently than a second media asset that is associated with a second interpretation of the plurality of candidate interpretations; select the first interpretation as a determined meaning of the portion, based on the determining that the user has accessed the first media asset more recently than the second media asset; and provide a media asset recommendation to the user based on the determined meaning. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
