    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: This document describes, among other things, systems, methods, devices, and other techniques for using information about how long various videos were presented at client devices to determine subsequent video recommendations and search results. In some implementations, a computing can include a modeling apparatus, a front-end server, a request manager, one or more video file storage devices, a video selector, or a combination of some or all of these. The video selector can select video content for a particular digitized video among a plurality of digitized videos to serve to a computing device responsive to a request. The selection can be based at least in part on how long the particular digitized video has been presented at client devices associated with users having characteristics that match one or more characteristics of the user that submitted the request for video content, as indicated by the modeling apparatus.

    Abstract: Methods, apparatus, systems, and computer-readable media are provided for transferring dialog sessions between devices using deep links. The dialog sessions can correspond to interactions, mediated by an automated assistant, between a user and a third party application. During the dialog session, a user can request that the dialog session be transferred to a different device, for example, to interact with the third party application through a different modality. In response, the automated assistant and/or the third party application can generate a link that can be transferred to the transferee device to allow the transferee device to seamlessly take over the dialog session. In this way, computational resources and electrical power can be preserved by not requiring a recipient device to re-process natural language inputs previously provided during the dialog session.

    Abstract: Methods, systems, and media for generating contextually relevant messages are provided. In some embodiments, a method for generating contextually relevant messages is provided, the method comprising: requesting content from a content source; receiving a content item; causing the content item to be presented using a display device; causing an endorsement indication corresponding to an endorsing user to be concurrently presented with the content item, wherein a user associated with the request for content and the endorsing user are social connections; receiving user input selecting the endorsement indication; causing a temporary messaging interface including a temporary message from the user to the endorsing user to be presented; causing a permanent message to be created based on the temporary message and received user input; and causing the permanent message to be presented to the endorsing 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: A persistent media player is disclosed. A method for providing the persistent media player includes displaying, by an electronic device, a first portion of a scrollable document in a user interface (UI) of an application executed on the electronic device. The first portion includes a media player that is to present a first media item. The method further includes receiving an input to scroll to a second portion of the scrollable document. The method also includes displaying the second portion of the scrollable document, where the first portion is no longer visible and where the media player continues to be visible.
