    Abstract: Techniques are described related to prior context retrieval with an automated assistant. In various implementations, instance(s) of free-form natural language input received from a user during a human-to-computer dialog session between the user and an automated assistant may be used to generate a first dialog context. The first dialog context may include intent(s) and slot value(s) associated with the intent(s). Similar operations may be performed with additional inputs to generate a second dialog context that is semantically distinct from the first dialog context. When a command is received from the user to transition the automated assistant back to the first dialog context, natural language output may be generated that conveys at least one or more of the intents of the first dialog context and one or more of the slot values of the first dialog context. This natural language output may be presented to the user.

    Abstract: A system of multi-modal transmission of packetized data in a voice activated data packet based computer network environment is provided. A natural language processor component can parse an input audio signal to identify a request and a trigger keyword. Based on the input audio signal, a direct action application programming interface can generate a first action data structure, and a content selector component can select a content item. An interface management component can identify first and second candidate interfaces, and respective resource utilization values. The interface management component can select, based on the resource utilization values, the first candidate interface to present the content item. The interface management component can provide the first action data structure to the client computing device for rendering as audio output, and can transmit the content item converted for a first modality to deliver the content item for rendering from the selected interface.

    Abstract: Implementations relate to continuation of playback of media content by different devices. In some implementations, a method includes causing a stream of media content data to be received from a stream source and output by a first device to a user, where a portion of the data is buffered on the first device before output. An indication is detected that the user has stopped using the first device for output of the content data. A place marker indicates a portion of the content that is output approximately at the time of the indication. The method causes the stream of content data to be received and output by a second device starting at the place marker portion. The buffered content data is sent from the first device to the second device for output by the second device before unbuffered portions of the content data received from the stream source.

    Abstract: A method for identifying insertion points for inserting live content into a continuous content stream is disclosed. The method includes identifying a first particular live content item included in a continuous content stream. The method determines a first live content item for presentation based on one or more interesting portions of the first live content item, wherein the one or more interesting portions are identified based one or more selection criteria, and wherein a first interesting portion comprises a start time. The method further causes the first live content item to be presented by the client device at the start time of the first interesting portion during playback of the first particular item.

    Abstract: A user device receives a first media item that is associated with a second media item. The device determines that a playback state for the device indicates that the device is paired with an alternative playback device. The device sends the playback state in a request for the second media item, receives the second media item in a first format for playback on the user device and in a second format for playback on the alternative playback device. The device determines whether the playback state of the device is the same. The device displays a first graphical representation of the second media item in the first format on the user device if the user device is no longer paired with the alternative playback device and displays a second graphical representation of the second media item in the second format on the user device if the user device is still paired with the alternative playback device.

    Abstract: A method for managing collaborative playlists includes providing indication regarding one or more available collaborative guidance controls for a playlist created by a first user of a plurality of users of a content sharing platform, wherein the playlist comprises content items hosted by the content sharing platform. The method also includes receiving a user selection of the first user regarding one of the one or more collaborative guidance controls for the playlist, wherein the selected collaborative guidance control is to provide a theme for user suggestions for the playlist, and wherein a number of user suggestions from a particular user is limited based on a number of content items previously suggested by the particular user that have been added to the playlist. The method further includes receiving a user suggestion of a second user of the plurality of users regarding an additional content item hosted by the content sharing platform for addition to the playlist, determining a number of content items previously suggested by the second user that have been added to the playlist, and responsive to determining that the number of the added content items that were previously suggested by the second user is below a predefined maximum number, adding the additional content item to the playlist for consumption by the plurality of users via the plurality of user devices.

    Abstract: A server can receive a seed keyword to generate additional keywords relevant to the seed keyword. The server can identify, using a semantic relationship graph, keyword categories. Each keyword can have a semantic distance from the seed keyword less than a threshold. The server can generate, for each keyword of the keyword categories, a keyword-seed affinity score based on a frequency of the keyword occurring with the seed keyword on an information resource. The server can determine, for each keyword category, a category-seed affinity score based on the keyword-seed affinity scores for each of keyword in the keyword category. The server can compare each category-seed affinity score a threshold. The server can transmit, for display, the keywords. One keyword category can be indicated as selected and another keyword category can be indicated as unselected based on the comparison.
