Abstract: Systems and methods are described for managing presentation of content. A determination may be made, based on user information related to the current media asset, whether the presentation of the current media asset is not likely to be of interest to the user. In response to determining that the presentation of the current media asset is not likely to be of interest to the user, a selectable option may be presented to skip current content (e.g., advertisement content, or another currently presented media asset) and start presentation of a next media asset (e.g., a selected media asset, or a media asset similar to the current media asset).

Abstract: A transcription of a query for content discovery is generated, and a context of the query is identified, as well as a first plurality of candidate entities to which the query refers. A search is performed based on the context of the query and the first plurality of candidate entities, and results are generated for output. A transcription of a second voice query is then generated, and it is determined whether the second transcription includes a trigger term indicating a corrective query. If so, the context of the first query is retrieved. A second term of the second query similar to a term of the first query is identified, and a second plurality of candidate entities to which the second term refers is determined. A second search is performed based on the second plurality of candidates and the context, and new search results are generated for output.

Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for automatically responding to network connectivity issues in a media stream. One example method includes transmitting, from a first computing device, a media stream to one or more secondary computing devices. A network connectivity issue between the first computing device and one or more of the secondary computing devices is detected. If a network connectivity issue is detected, a notification is transmitted to one or more of the secondary computing devices.

Abstract: Systems and methods for processing audio streams are disclosed herein. In a disclosed method, N number of audio streams is received from an independent source, each audio stream includes speech content. A set of the N audio streams is concatenated to generate a concatenated audio stream. Based on the N received audio streams or the set of audio streams, N−1 or one less that the total number of audio streams in the set of audio stream separators, respectively, are generated. An audio stream separator is inserted between every two adjacent audio streams of the concatenated audio stream to generate a single audio stream payload. The single audio stream payload is transmitted for transcription of the audio stream speech content to text content and in response to transmitting the payload, a text file is received including text content corresponding to the audio streams delineated by the audio stream separators.

Abstract: Systems and methods for responding to a natural language query are disclosed herein. A query for an entity associated with a plurality of content types is received via a user interface of a computing device. A determination is made as to whether the query specifies any one or more of the plurality of content types. In response to determining that the query specifies one or more of the plurality of content types, a response to the query is generated for visible or audible presentation via the computing device, with the response comprising results from the one or more specified content types. In response to determining that the query lacks specification of any one or more of the plurality of content types, a response to the query is generated for visible or audible presentation via the computing device, with the response comprising results from each of the plurality of content types.

Abstract: Systems and methods for handling a query comprising a media quote are provided. One example method includes receiving, at a computing device, an input comprising a query. A media quote is identified based on the query. A media asset is identified based on the identified media quote. An action is performed at the computing device, the action based on the identified media asset.

Abstract: Insertion of supplemental content into a virtual environment is automated using a machine learning model. The machine learning model is trained to calculate a confidence value that a candidate virtual object fits into a virtual environment based on an input that includes a candidate virtual object, a list of persistent virtual objects, and a list of temporary virtual objects. The machine learning model is trained using the persistent and temporary objects displayed in the current virtual environment until it predicts that a selected virtual object fits into the current virtual environment. The trained machine learning model is then used to select a virtual object comprising supplemental content to be inserted as a new virtual object in the virtual environment.

Abstract: A natural language search is interpreted through use of machine learning, such as using one or more neural networks. After identifying a number of terms in the natural language search query, a vector is generated for each term describing a relationship between each term and a plurality of other terms. Each vector is then input into a trained neural network that generates an output based on the input vectors. The natural language search query is then interpreted based on the output of the neural network.

Abstract: Systems and methods for determining hint words that improve the accuracy of automated speech recognition (ASR) systems. Hint words are determined in the context of a user issuing voice commands in connection with a voice interface system. Terms are initially taken from most frequently occurring terms in operation of a voice interface system. For example, most frequently occurring terms that arise in electronic search queries or received commands are selected. Certain of these terms are selected as hint words, and the selected hint words are then transmitted to an ASR system to assist in translation of speech to text.
