Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed and described for correcting errors in ASR transcriptions. For an incorrect transcription, different words or phrases from the transcription, and/or related words or phrases, are submitted as hint words to the ASR system, and the voice query is submitted again, to determine new transcriptions. This process is repeated with different transcription terms, until a different and more proper transcription is generated. This increases the accuracy of ASR systems.

Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed for providing voice interactions based on user context. Data is received that causes a voice interaction to be generated for output at a user device during an output time interval. In response, current user contextual data of the user device is retrieved. The voice interaction and output time interval are altered to increase consumption likelihood of the voice interaction based on the current user contextual data. The altered voice interaction is outputted at the user device during the altered output time interval.

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 are provided for automatically responding to network connectivity issues in a media stream. One example method includes transmitting, from a first computing device, a media stream to one or more secondary computing devices. A network connectivity issue between the first computing device and one or more of the secondary computing devices is detected. If a network connectivity issue is detected, a notification is transmitted to one or more of the secondary computing devices.

Abstract: Methods and systems are disclosed herein for training a network to detect mimicked voice input, so that it can be determined whether a voice input signal is a mimicked voice signal. First voice data is received. The first voice data comprises at least a voice signal of a first individual and another voice signal. The voice signal of the first individual and at least one other voice signal is combined to create a composite voice signal. Second voice data is received. The second voice data comprises at least a voice signal of the first individual. The network is trained using at least the composite voice signal and the second voice data to determine whether a voice input signal is a mimicked voice input signal.

Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for automatically arranging the display of a plurality of videos on a display of a computing device. One example method includes receiving, at the computing device, a plurality of video streams. An order in which to display the video streams is determined, based on the video of the video streams. The plurality of video streams is displayed on a display of the computing device based on the determined order.

Abstract: Systems and methods for generating individualized content trailers. Content such as a video is divided into segments each representing a set of common features. With reference to a set of stored user preferences, certain segments are selected as aligning with the user's interests. Each selected segment may then be assigned a label corresponding to the plot portion or element to which it belongs. A coherent trailer may then be assembled from the selected segments, ordered according to their plot elements. This allows a user to see not only segments containing subject matter that aligns with their interests, but also a set of such segments arranged to give the user an idea of the plot, and a sense of drama, increasing the likelihood of engagement with the content.

Abstract: A transcription of a query for content discovery is generated, and a context of the query is identified, as well as a first plurality of candidate entities to which the query refers. A search is performed based on the context of the query and the first plurality of candidate entities, and results are generated for output. A transcription of a second voice query is then generated, and it is determined whether the second transcription includes a trigger term indicating a corrective query. If so, the context of the first query is retrieved. A second term of the second query similar to a term of the first query is identified, and a second plurality of candidate entities to which the second term refers is determined. A second search is performed based on the second plurality of candidates and the context, and new search results are generated for output.

Abstract: A system for generating annotations is configured to generate annotations having a format similar to a title and tailored to a user profile. The system identifies a media content item, and associated metadata, and determines a title corresponding to the media content item. The system generates a title template based on the title and based on metadata associated with the media content item. Based on the title template and user profile information, the system generates an annotation, which is linked to the media content item. The system may generate more than one annotation, and then select among the annotations for the most appropriate annotation for a given user. The annotation may include keywords or entities that are included in, linked to, or otherwise associated with the user profile information. The system outputs, or generates for output, a display that includes a representation of the media content item and the annotation.

Abstract: A natural language search query is processed to determine whether it has a grammatical structure. If so, a number of terms are identified in the natural language search query and each term is associated with a part of speech. Based on the grammatical structure, a type of query is determined, and the natural language search query is interpreted in the context of the query type based on the parts of speech of each term in the natural language search query.
