Abstract: Original concepts obtained from a query may be augmented with additional concepts connected to the original concepts in a concept graph in response to determining that the original concepts did not match a sufficient number of bid functions. The augmented set of concepts may then be evaluated with respect to the bid functions to identify matching ad functions. This process may be repeated until a sufficient number of matching ad functions are found. A bid amount of the matching bid functions may be calculated, such as based on semantic information obtained as a result of the query. The bid amounts may further be based on environmental information. A bid function is selected based on the bid amounts and the content associated with the bid function is provided to the source of the query. The content may be selected based on the semantic information.

Abstract: An ad processor evaluates bid functions that are based on concepts that might be generated from interpretations of natural language expressions. Ad buyers provide the functions with corresponding ads to ad processors. Bid functions are further based on the values of semantic information referenced by expressions. Bid functions are further based on environmental information. Ad buyers are able to modify bid functions. Ads may be provided in the form of questions, and may be indicated by an identifying sound. Upon finding no expression concepts within a bid function, the set of expression concepts is expanded according to strengths of connections between concepts in a concept graph.

Abstract: A server receives a user audio stream, the stream comprising multiple utterances. A query-processing module of the server continuously listens to and processes the utterances. The processing includes parsing successive utterances and recognizing corresponding queries, taking appropriate actions while the utterances are being received. In some embodiments, a query may be parsed and executed before the previous query's execution is complete.

Abstract: A query-processing system processes an input audio stream that represents a succession of queries spoken by a user. The query-processing system listens continuously to the input audio stream, parses queries and takes appropriate actions in mid-stream. In some embodiments, the system processes queries in parallel, limited by serial constraints. In some embodiments, the system parses and executes queries while a previous query's execution is still in progress. To accommodate users who tend to speak slowly and express a thought in separate parts, the query-processing system halts the outputting of results corresponding to a previous query if it detects that a new speech utterance modifies the meaning of the previous query.
