    Abstract: The specification relates to a method of receiving a first query and a second query. The method analyzes the second query for a presence of anaphora. If anaphora is present, the method analyzes the first query for a presence of an entity that can be associated with the anaphora. If the analysis analyzing the first query returns two or more associated entities, the method forms a third query wherein the anaphora of the second query is replaced with one of the associated entities and forms a fourth query wherein the anaphora is replaced with the other of the associated entities. The third query and the fourth query are sent to a query-ranking engine. The third query and the fourth query receive a ranking and the higher-ranked query is sent to a search engine.

    Abstract: Methods and apparatus related to ranking modifications of a previous query. For example, modifications of a previous query may be generated based on a current query issued subsequent to the previous query by substituting one or more n-grams of the previous query with one or more n-grams of the current query. One or more measures of each of the modifications may be identified and, based on such measures, a ranking of each of the modifications may be determined. One of the modifications may be selected as a submission query based on the rankings of the modifications. The submission query may be selected for submission in lieu of, or in addition to, the current query.

    Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on a computer storage medium, for speech endpointing are described. In one aspect, a method includes the action of accessing voice query log data that includes voice queries spoken by a particular user. The actions further include based on the voice query log data that includes voice queries spoken by a particular user, determining a pause threshold from the voice query log data that includes voice queries spoken by the particular user. The actions further include receiving, from the particular user, an utterance. The actions further include determining that the particular user has stopped speaking for at least a period of time equal to the pause threshold. The actions further include based on determining that the particular user has stopped speaking for at least a period of time equal to the pause threshold, processing the utterance as a voice query.

    Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on a computer storage medium, for speech endpointing based on word comparisons are described. In one aspect, a method includes the actions of obtaining a transcription of an utterance. The actions further include determining, as a first value, a quantity of text samples in a collection of text samples that (i) include terms that match the transcription, and (ii) do not include any additional terms. The actions further include determining, as a second value, a quantity of text samples in the collection of text samples that (i) include terms that match the transcription, and (ii) include one or more additional terms. The actions further include classifying the utterance as a likely incomplete utterance or not a likely incomplete utterance based at least on comparing the first value and the second value.

    Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus for receiving, by a voice action system, data specifying trigger terms that trigger an application to perform a voice action and a context that specifies a status of the application when the voice action can be triggered. The voice action system receives data defining a discoverability example for the voice action that comprises one or more of the trigger terms that trigger the application to perform the voice action when a status of the application satisfies the specified context. The voice action system receives a request for discoverability examples for the application from a user device having the application installed, and provides the data defining the discoverability examples to the user device in response to the request. The user device is configured to provide a notification of the one or more of the trigger terms when a status of the application satisfies the specified context.

    Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus for determining that a software application installed on a user device is compatible with a new voice action, wherein the new voice action is specified by an application developer of the software application. One or more trigger terms for triggering the software application to perform the new voice action are identified. An automatic speech recognizer is biased to prefer the identified trigger terms of the new voice action over trigger terms of other voice actions. A transcription of an utterance generated by the biased automatic speech recognizer is obtained. The transcription of the utterance generated by the biased automatic speech recognizer is determined to include a particular trigger term included in the identified trigger terms. Based at least on determining that the transcription of the utterance generated by the biased automatic speech recognizer includes the particular trigger term, execution of the new voice action is triggered.
