    Abstract: A computer-implemented technique can include detecting an initiation of composing an electronic message by a user, obtaining contextual information for the electronic message from a source external to a text of the electronic message, obtaining a first suggestion for the text of the electronic message based on the contextual information, detecting an operating condition indicative of a user activity during which the user is likely to experience difficulty in typing, in response to detecting the operating condition, obtaining a second suggestion for the electronic message based on the contextual information, the second suggestion being more detailed than the first suggestion, and outputting one of the first and second suggestions depending on one or more other conditions.

    Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on a computer storage medium, for verifying an identity of a user. The methods, systems, and apparatus include actions of receiving a request for a verification phrase for verifying an identity of a user. Additional actions include, in response to receiving the request for the verification phrase for verifying the identity of the user, identifying subwords to be included in the verification phrase and in response to identifying the subwords to be included in the verification phrase, obtaining a candidate phrase that includes at least some of the identified subwords as the verification phrase. Further actions include providing the verification phrase as a response to the request for the verification phrase for verifying the identity of the user.

    Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on computer storage media, for audio processing using neural networks. One of the systems includes multiple neural network layers, wherein the neural network system is configured to receive time domain features of an audio sample and to process the time domain features to generate a neural network output for the audio sample, the plurality of neural network layers comprising: a frequency-transform (F-T) layer that is configured to apply a transformation defined by a set of F-T layer parameters that transforms a window of time domain features into frequency domain features; and one or more other neural network layers having respective layer parameters, wherein the one or more neural network layers are configured to process frequency domain features to generate a neural network output.

    Abstract: Systems and methods for using place of accommodation as a signal for ranking reviews and point of interest search results are provided. One example method includes receiving a search query from a user and identifying a place of accommodation at which the user is staying. The method includes determining a score for each of a plurality of points of interest according to a scoring formula. The scoring formula provides the score based on a plurality of reviews of each point of interest. Reviews provided by reviewers that were staying at the place of accommodation have a greater influence on the score than reviews provided by reviewers that were not staying at the place of accommodation. The method includes selecting one or more of the plurality of points of interest to provide as search results to the user based the plurality of scores.

    Abstract: A matching system receives probe audio samples for comparison to references of a data store. Comparisons are generated between a first segment of a probe audio sample and corresponding time segments of a plurality of reference audio samples to identify a plurality of sufficiently matching reference audio samples based upon a first set of consistency scores. Matching references are retained, unless they meet a score threshold. Comparisons are continually generated with a second segment of the probe audio sample and corresponding time segments of the sufficiently matching reference audio samples to generate a second set of consistency scores. The retained results are outputted based on the first and second set of consistency scores.

    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: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on a computer storage medium, relating to on-device query annotating. In some implementations, a search query is received, and a mobile device identifies a reference to a particular entity and a reference to a category based on the query. A model that is stored on the mobile device and stores one or more facts that are associated with one or more entities is accessed. A subset of facts from among the facts that are stored in the model for the particular entity is selected. The search query is annotated based at least on one or more facts of the subset of facts that are stored in the model for the particular entity. The annotated search query is transmitted, from the mobile device to a search engine, for processing. A result of processing the annotated search query is received by the mobile device.
