Better resolution when referencing to concepts

Systems and processes for operating a virtual assistant programmed to refer to shared domain concepts using concept nodes are provided. In an example process, user speech input is received. A textual representation of the user speech input is generated. The textual representation is parsed to determine a primary domain representing a user intent for the textual representation. A first substring from the textual representation that corresponds to a first attribute of the primary domain is identified. The identified first substring is parsed to determine a secondary domain representing a user intent for the first substring. A task flow comprising one or more tasks is performed based on the primary domain and the secondary domain.
