1. A natural language understanding (NLU) system for mapping a natural language input into a schema, comprising:
- a rules-based grammar component configured to map portions of the natural language input to slots derived from the schema;
a statistical model component configured to map portions of the natural language input to preterminals derived from the schema; and
a decoder coupled to the rules-based grammar component and the statistical model component.

8. An authoring component configured for generating components for use in mapping natural language inputs to slots and preterminals derived from a schema in a natural language understanding (NLU) system, comprising:
a model trainer configured to train a rules based grammar, based on training data, and to train a statistical model for mapping the natural language input to the preterminals derived from the schema. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19)

20. A method of training a natural language understanding (NLU) model, comprising:
-
generating a plurality of segmentations of training data, for a plurality of slots and a plurality of preterminals; and
training a statistical model for a preterminal corresponding to at least one of the segmentations. - View Dependent Claims (21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29)
