Abstract: The system provides a synthesized speech response to a voice input, based on the prosodic character of the voice input. The system receives the voice input and calculates at least one prosodic metric of the voice input. The at least one prosodic metric can be associated with a word, phrase, grouping thereof, or the entire voice input. The system also determines a response to the voice input, which may include the sequence of words that form the response. The system generates the synthesized speech response, by determining prosodic characteristics based on the response, and on the prosodic character of the voice input. The system outputs the synthesized speech response, which includes a more natural, relevant, or both answer to the call of the voice input. The prosodic character of the voice input and/or response may include pitch, note, duration, prominence, timbre, rate, and rhythm, for example.

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: Systems and methods for correcting recognition errors in speech recognition systems are disclosed herein. Natural conversational variations are identified to determine whether a query intends to correct a speech recognition error or whether the query is a new command. When the query intends to correct a speech recognition error, the system identifies a location of the error and performs the correction. The corrected query can be presented to the user or be acted upon as a command for the system.

Abstract: Systems and methods for training a natural language model of a natural language understanding (NLU) system are disclosed herein. A text string including at least a content entity is received. A determination is made as to whether the text string includes an obsequious expression. In response to determining the text string includes an obsequious expression, a determination is made as to whether the obsequious expression describes the content entity. A query is forwarded in response to determining the text string includes an obsequious expression and in determining the obsequious expression describes the content entity. In response to determining the obsequious expression describes the content entity, the query includes the obsequious expression and in response to determining the obsequious expression does not describe the content entity, the query does not include the obsequious expression.

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.
