Abstract: Systems and methods are described to access a set of reattempt query pairs, where each respective pair comprises an initial query and a reattempt of the initial query, and is associated with an indication of whether a reply generated for output based on the respective query pair was acceptable. In response to determining that a second query received after a first query constitutes a reattempt of the first query, a query pair in the set of reattempt query pairs may be identified that matches at least one of the first query and the second query, and is associated with an indication that a reply generated for output based on the query pair was acceptable. A search may be performed based on the identified query pair in the set of reattempt query pairs, and a reply may be generated for output based on the performed search.

Abstract: The system provides a voice command recommendation to a user to avoid a non-voice command. The system determines a command that is expected to be received, and generates a voice command recommendation that corresponds to the predicted command. The predicted command can be based on the user's behavior, a plurality of users' behavior, environmental circumstances such as a phone call ring, or a combination thereof. The system may access one or more databases to determine the predicted command. The voice command recommendation may include a displayed notification that describes the recommended voice command, and exemplary voice inputs that are recognized. The system also activates an audio interface, such as a microphone, that is configured to receive a voice input. If the system receives a recognizable voice input at the audio interface that corresponds to the recommendation, the system performs the predicted command in response to receiving the voice input.

Abstract: Insertion of supplemental content into a virtual environment is automated using a machine learning model. The machine learning model is trained to calculate a confidence value that a candidate virtual object fits into a virtual environment based on an input that includes a candidate virtual object, a list of persistent virtual objects, and a list of temporary virtual objects. The machine learning model is trained using the persistent and temporary objects displayed in the current virtual environment until it predicts that a selected virtual object fits into the current virtual environment. The trained machine learning model is then used to select a virtual object comprising supplemental content to be inserted as a new virtual object in the virtual environment.

Abstract: Systems and methods for a computer-based process that determines when a viewer is likely to skip over supplemental content and adjusts supplemental content presentation to compensate. Systems of embodiments of the disclosure may utilize various inputs to determine the likelihood of skipping supplemental content, including cursor position at or near specified icons or other UI elements, as well as user actions such as gaze direction, various motions or actions, controller manipulations, and the like. Once a likelihood of skipping supplemental content is determined, various actions may be taken in response, including without limitation selection of supplemental content that conveys its intended message prior to skipping, supplemental content that can be played at increased speed, and designation of supplemental content slots as skippable or non-skippable.

Abstract: Systems and methods for handling multilingual queries are provided. One example method includes receiving, at a computing device, an input, wherein the input comprises a multi-lingual query comprising at least a first source language and a second source language. The multi-lingual query is translated, word for word, into a destination language to produce a monolingual query, with the word order of the multilingual query and the word order of the monolingual query being the same. The monolingual query is processed using natural language processing to map the mono-lingual query to a natural language query in the destination language.

Abstract: Systems and methods are described for modifying a phonetic search index based on a use frequency associated with phonetic representations of text terms included in metadata of a media item. A first phonetic representation of a text term of the metadata, pronounced as a word, may be generated. A second phonetic representation of the text term may be generated by concatenating a phonetic representation of each letter in the text term. A database may be queried to determine use frequencies of the first and second phonetic representations, one of which may be selected based on a comparison of the use frequencies. A phonetic search index may be modified by including an entry for the selected phonetic representation. A voice query related to the media item may be received, and a reply to the voice query may be generated for output by performing a lookup in the modified phonetic search index.

Abstract: A frequency of occurrence for each term in a training data set is determined in relation to the entire training data set. A relational data structure is generated that associates each term in the training data with its respective frequency. Any term that has a frequency below a threshold frequency is then added to a list of relevant words. When a natural language search query is received, a plurality of terms in the natural language search query are identified and compared with the list of relevant words. If any term of the natural language search query is included in the relevant words list, that term is identified as a keyword. The natural language search query is then interpreted based on any identified keywords.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to systems and methods for resolving an unresolved plot or storyline of a series and resolving it. A user may not view all episodes in a series of episodes, particularly if the series runs over a long period of time, such as several years. The user may however be interested and curious to know how the series ends, with reference to a storyline that runs throughout the series. Therefore the disclosure provides methods and systems for determining if a user is interested in the resolution of an unresolved storyline and generating a resolution video for display.

Abstract: Systems and methods for adjusting a sound level during a conference call are disclosed herein. Conferencing application receives an audio input including a first sound and a second sound. A user selectable element is generated for each sound in an user interface, where a user selection setting a first user selectable element associated with the first sound at a user-specified level is received. The sound level for the first sound is adjusted based on the user selection and output at the user-specified level while the second sound is output at a default sound level.
