Abstract:
Methods, systems, and apparatus for receiving a request that includes a user identifier of a user that submitted a search query and an entity identifier of an entity that is referenced by the search query, identifying a plurality of knowledge elements that are related to the entity, identifying, in a consumption database, one or more items that have been indicated as consumed by the user and that are associated with the entity that is referenced by the search query, assigning rank scores to the plurality of knowledge elements, based at least on identifying the one or more items, selecting one or more of the knowledge elements from among the knowledge elements based at least on the rank scores assigned to the knowledge elements, and providing, in response to the request, information associated with the entity and the one or more selected knowledge elements.
Abstract:
Methods, systems, and apparatus for receiving a natural language query of a user, and environmental data, identifying a media item based on the environmental data, determining an entity type based on the natural language query, selecting an entity associated with the media item that matches the entity type, selecting, from a media consumption database that identifies media items that have been indicated as consumed by the user, one or more media items that have been indicated as consumed by the user and that are associated with the selected entity, and providing a response to the query based on selecting the one or more media items that have been indicated as consumed by the user and that are associated with the selected entity.
Abstract:
In one example, a system comprises at least one processor configured to determine an indication of an audio portion of video content, determine, based at least in part on the indication, one or more candidate audio tracks, determine, based at least in part on the one or more candidate audio tracks, one or more search terms, and provide a search query that includes the search terms. The at least one processor may be further configured to, in response to the search query, receive a response that indicates a number of search results, wherein each one of the search results is associated with content that includes the one or more search terms, select, based at least in part on the response, a particular audio track of the one or more candidate audio tracks, and send a message that associates the video content with at least the particular audio track.
Abstract:
Systems and methods are disclosed for providing device-specific instructions in response to a perception of a media content segment. In one implementation, a processing device receives one or more media content segments from a user device. The processing device processes the one or more media content segments to determine one or more operations associated with the one or more media content segments. The processing device selects, based on one or more characteristics associated with the user device, at least one of the one or more operations. The processing device provides one or more instructions to perform the at least one of the one or more operations in relation to the user device.
Abstract:
A method includes receiving, from an audio streaming system, a probe audio sample and identifying sufficiently matching reference audio samples based on a first comparison of a first portion of the probe audio sample to reference audio samples. The method also includes, in response to determining that the sufficiently matching reference audio samples do not meet a predetermined score threshold, retaining the sufficiently matching reference audio samples, identifying additional matching reference audio samples based on a second comparison a second portion of the probe audio sample to the reference audio samples, and outputting at least one of the reference audio samples based on the first comparison and the second comparison.
Abstract:
Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on a computer storage medium, for designating certain voice commands as hotwords. The methods, systems, and apparatus include actions of receiving a hotword followed by a voice command. Additional actions include determining that the voice command satisfies one or more predetermined criteria associated with designating the voice command as a hotword, where a voice command that is designated as a hotword is treated as a voice input regardless of whether the voice command is preceded by another hotword. Further actions include, in response to determining that the voice command satisfies one or more predetermined criteria associated with designating the voice command as a hotword, designating the voice command as a hotword.
Abstract:
In some examples, a method includes receiving, first notification data from a first application and second notification data from a second application. The method may include generating, based at least in part on comparing the first notification data to the second notification data, an affinity score that indicates whether content from the first notification data has a relationship to at least a portion of content from the second notification data. The method may include, generating a bundle notification graphical element that includes at least a portion of the content from the first notification data and a graphical indicator that indicates the content from the first and second notification data are related. The method may include outputting a set of notification graphical elements comprising the bundle notification graphical element accompanied by the graphical indicator.
Abstract:
A computer-executed technique for grouping and summarizing messages in a graphical user interface (GUI) of a communication application includes received messages and determining a plurality of communication topics therein. The messages are clustered into groups based on the communication topics such that messages in each group relate to the same topic. The messages are displayed in the GUI in the determined groups. A user can select a group to ungroup and view the messages. The communication topics upon which the clustering is based may be specific to each user in the communication session.
Abstract:
A computing device is described that outputs, for display, a graphical keyboard comprising a plurality of keys, determines, based at least in part on an indication of a selection of one or more keys from the plurality of keys, text of an electronic communication, and determines, based at least in part on the text, an implied user-expression that characterizes at least a portion of the text. The computing device generates a phrase of one or more iconographic symbols that represent the implied user-expression, and outputs, for display within the graphical keyboard, a graphical indication of the phrase.
Abstract:
Systems and methods are provided for providing user assistance on a mobile device. For example, a method may include receiving a first image of a screen captured on a mobile device, determining key content in the first image by performing recognition on the first image, and using the key content as a query to an index that associates key items with screen capture images previously received from the mobile device. The method may further include determining that a search result of the query includes at least one key item with a rank that exceeds a relevancy threshold, determining a portion of a second image from the screen capture images that is associated with the at least one key item, generating annotation data that includes the portion of the second image, and providing the annotation data for display with the screen on the mobile device.
