    Abstract: Implementations set forth herein relate to employing dynamic regulations for governing responsiveness of multiple automated assistant devices, and specifically the responsiveness an automated assistant to a given spoken utterance that has been acknowledged by two or more of the assistant devices. The dynamic regulations can be context-dependent and adapted over time in order that the automated assistant can accommodate assistant interaction preferences that may vary from user to user. For instance, a spoken utterance such as “stop,” may be intended to affect different assistant actions based on a context in which the user provided the spoken utterance. The context can refer to a location of the user relative to other rooms in a home, a time of day, a user providing the spoken utterance, an arrangement of the assistant devices within a home, and/or a state of each device in the home.

    Abstract: Implementations described herein relate to reducing latency in automated assistant interactions. In some implementations, a client device can receive audio data that captures a spoken utterance of a user. The audio data can be processed to determine an assistant command to be performed by an automated assistant. The assistant command can be processed, using a latency prediction model, to generate a predicted latency to fulfill the assistant command. Further, the client device (or the automated assistant) can determine, based on the predicted latency, whether to audibly render pre-cached content for presentation to the user prior to audibly rendering content that is responsive to the spoken utterance. The pre-cached content can be tailored to the assistant command and audibly rendered for presentation to the user while the content is being obtained, and the content can be audibly rendered for presentation to the user subsequent to the pre-cached content.

    Abstract: Techniques are described herein for enabling the use of “dynamic” or “context-specific” hot words for an automated assistant. In various implementations, an automated assistant may be operated at least in part on a computing device. Audio data captured by a microphone may be monitored for default hot word(s). Detection of one or more of the default hot words may trigger transition of the automated assistant from a limited hot word listening state into a speech recognition state. Transition of the computing device into a given state may be detected, and in response, the audio data captured by the microphone may be monitored for context-specific hot word(s), in addition to or instead of the default hot word(s). Detection of the context-specific hot word(s) may trigger the automated assistant to perform a responsive action associated with the given state, without requiring detection of default hot word(s).

    Abstract: Techniques are described herein for dialog-based enrollment of individual users for single- and/or multi-modal recognition by an automated assistant, as well as determining how to respond to a particular user's request based on the particular user being enrolled and/or recognized. Rather than requiring operation of a graphical user interface for individual enrollment, dialog-based enrollment enables users to enroll themselves (or others) by way of a human-to-computer dialog with the automated assistant.
