    Abstract: A system or method of prioritizing participants in a virtual meeting via a network by scoring each participant on several criteria and weighting the criteria to determine a readiness score. The system of accesses, for each of a plurality of participants, network data, video data, audio data, processing data, and participation data. The system determines, for each of the plurality of participants, a signal strength score based on the corresponding network data, a background score based on the corresponding video data and audio data, a microphone proximity score based on the corresponding video data, a processing score for each of the plurality of participants based on the corresponding processing data, and an engagement score based on the corresponding video data and participation data. The system calculates the readiness score, for each participant, based at least on the corresponding signal strength score, background score, engagement score, and processing score, ranks the participants, and provides the ranked participants.

    Abstract: Systems and methods for processing audio streams are disclosed herein. An audio stream including speech content is received. The audio stream is compacted to generate a compacted audio stream and the compacted audio stream is transmitted to an automatic speech recognition (ASR) service for transcription of the speech content to text content. In response to transmitting the compacted audio stream for transcription, text content, a transcription of the audio stream, is received from the ASR service.

    Abstract: Systems and methods are described to identify jump points indicative of potential time points from which to resume consumption of the media asset in response to receiving a request to skip a portion of a media asset being consumed. The jump points include a first jump point identified based on a content viewing profile and a second jump point identified based on a scene information associated with the media asset. A preview image is displayed at each of the identified jump points. Systems and methods are also described to pause the skipping operation at the identified jump points and provide a preview at the respective jump points. Systems and method are further described to identify jump points based on analysis of the portion of the media asset being skipped.

    Abstract: A computer implemented method that includes receiving a request to present a first content item and, in response, a second content item is presented using a first presentation type. A second request is received to modify the presentation size of the second content item and, in response, the first content item is presented simultaneously with the second content item. A determination is made that the modified size of the second content item crosses a threshold and, in response, the second content item is presented using a second presentation type.

    Abstract: Systems and methods for efficient management of an audio/video conferences is disclosed. The method includes receiving an audio question from a first user of a plurality of users connected to a conference, recording the audio question and preventing an immediate transmission of the audio question to the plurality of users connected to the conference, analyzing an audio portion of the conference to identify a time for transmitting the audio question to the plurality of users connected to the conference, and transmitting the audio question to the plurality of users at the identified time.

    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided herein for determining one or more traits of a speaker based on voice analysis to present content item to the speaker. In one example, the method receives a voice query and determines whether the voice query matches within a first confidence threshold of a speaker identification (ID) among a plurality of speaker IDs stored in a speaker profile. In response to determining that the voice query matches to the speaker ID within the first confidence threshold, the method bypasses a trait prediction engine and retrieves a trait among the plurality of traits in the speaker profile associated with the matched speaker ID. The method further provides a content item based on the retrieved trait.

    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided herein for avoiding inadvertently trigging a voice assistant with audio played through a speaker. An audio signal is captured by sampling a microphone of the voice assistant at a sampling frequency that is higher than an expected finite sampling frequency of previously recorded audio played through the speaker to generate a voice data sample. A quality metric of the generated voice data sample is calculated by determining whether the generated voice data sample comprises artifacts resulting from previous compression or approximation by the expected finite sampling frequency. Based on the calculated quality metric, it is determined whether the captured audio signal is previously recorded audio played through the speaker. Responsive to the determination that the captured audio signal is previously recorded audio played through the speaker, the voice assistant refrains from being activated.

    Abstract: Systems and methods detecting a spoken sentence in a speech recognition system are disclosed herein. Speech data is buffered based on an audio signal captured at a computing device operating in an active mode. The speech data is buffered irrespective of whether the speech data comprises a signature word. The buffered speech data is processed to detect a presence of the sentence comprising at least one command and a query for the computing device. Processing the buffered speech data includes detecting the signature word in the buffered speech data, and in response to detecting the signature word in the speech data, initiating detection of the sentence in the buffered speech data.
