Abstract:
Systems and processes for discourse input processing are provided. In one example process, a discourse input can be received from a user. An integrated probability of a candidate word in the discourse input and one or more subclasses associated with the candidate word can be determined based on a conditional probability of the candidate word given one or more words in the discourse input, a probability of the candidate word within a corpus, and a conditional probability of the candidate word given one or more classes associated with the one or more words. A text string corresponding to the discourse input can be determined based on the integrated probability. An output based on the text string can be generated.
Abstract:
Systems and methods for proactively assisting users with accurately locating a parked vehicle are disclosed herein. An example method includes: automatically, and without instructions from a user: determining that a user of the electronic device is in a vehicle that has come to rest at a geographic location. Upon determining that the user has left the vehicle at the geographic location, the method includes automatically, and without instructions from a user: determining whether positioning information, retrieved from the location sensor to identify the geographic location, satisfies accuracy criteria. Upon determining that the positioning information does not satisfy the accuracy criteria, the method includes: providing a prompt to the user to input information about the geographic location. In response to providing the prompt, the method includes receiving information from the user about the geographic location and storing the information as vehicle location information.
Abstract:
Methods, systems, and computer-readable media related to a technique for providing handwriting input functionality on a user device. A handwriting recognition module is trained to have a repertoire comprising multiple non-overlapping scripts and capable of recognizing tens of thousands of characters using a single handwriting recognition model. The handwriting input module provides real-time, stroke-order and stroke-direction independent handwriting recognition for multi-character handwriting input. In particular, real-time, stroke-order and stroke-direction independent handwriting recognition is provided for multi-character, or sentence level Chinese handwriting recognition. User interfaces for providing the handwriting input functionality are also disclosed.

Abstract:
Systems and processes for operating an intelligent automated assistant are provided. In one example process a set of words including a grammatical error is received. The process can generate, using a neural network based on the set of words including the grammatical error and a reference set of words, a transformed set of words and further determine, based on the set of words including the grammatical error and the reference set of words, a reconstructed reference set of words. The process can also determine, based on a comparison of the transformed set of words and the reconstructed reference set of words, whether the transformed set of words is grammatically correct and provide an indication of whether the transformed set of words is grammatically correct to the neural network.
Abstract:
Systems and processes for modifying word predictions are provided. In one example, a user input is received including one or more words. A prediction of a word sequence corresponding to one or more words is obtained, and context information associated with the word sequence is obtained. In accordance with a determination, based on the context information, that the prediction of the word sequence corresponds to a predetermined semantic reference, the prediction of the word sequence is modified, and an output is provided corresponding to the modified prediction of the word sequence. In accordance with a determination, based on the context information, that the prediction of the word sequence does not correspond to a predetermined semantic reference, an output is provided corresponding to the prediction of the word sequence.
Abstract:
Systems and processes for unified language modeling are provided. In accordance with one example, a method includes, at an electronic device with one or more processors and memory, receiving a character of a sequence of characters and determining a current character context based on the received character of the sequence of characters and a previous character context. The method further includes determining a current word representation based on the current character context and determining a current word context based on the current word representation and a previous word context. The method further includes determining a next word representation based on the current word context and providing the next word representation.

Abstract:
Systems and processes for operating a digital assistant are provided. In accordance with one or more examples, a method includes, at a user device with one or more processors and memory, receiving unstructured natural language information from at least one user. The method also includes, in response to receiving the unstructured natural language information, determining whether event information is present in the unstructured natural language information. The method further includes, in accordance with a determination that event information is present within the unstructured natural language information, determining whether an agreement on an event is present in the unstructured natural language information. The method further includes, in accordance with a determination that an agreement on an event is present, determining an event type of the event and providing an event description based on the event type.
Abstract:
The embodiments set forth techniques for sorting emails within an email application. The technique can include: (1) accessing a plurality of emails, where each email is included in a respective folder of one or more folders, (2) establishing a set of n-grams based on the plurality of emails, (3) for each n-gram in the set of n-grams: calculating a respective normalized entropy for the n-gram, and calculating a respective indexing power for the n-gram based on its respective normalized entropy, (4) ranking the n-grams based on their respective indexing powers to establish a ranked list of n-grams, and (5) establishing, for each folder of the one or more folders, a respective set of high-value n-grams based on the ranked list of n-grams. In turn, the high-value n-grams can be compared against n-grams of a new email to identify a target folder into which the new email should be sorted.
