    Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on a computer storage medium, for collaboration between multiple voice controlled devices are disclosed. In one aspect, a method includes the actions of identifying, by a first computing device, a second computing device that is configured to respond to a particular, predefined hotword; receiving audio data that corresponds to an utterance; receiving a transcription of additional audio data outputted by the second computing device in response to the utterance; based on the transcription of the additional audio data and based on the utterance, generating a transcription that corresponds to a response to the additional audio data; and providing, for output, the transcription that corresponds to the response.

    Abstract: The present disclosure is generally directed to a data processing system for customizing content in a voice activated computer network environment. With user consent, the data processing system can improve the efficiency and effectiveness of auditory data packet transmission over one or more computer networks by, for example, increasing the accuracy of the voice identification process used in the generation of customized content. The present solution can make accurate identifications while generating fewer audio identification models, which are computationally intensive to generate.

    Abstract: Implementations set forth herein relate to generating a pre-call analysis for one or more users that are receiving and/or initializing a call with one or more other users, and/or prioritizing pre-call content according to whether security-related value was gleaned from provisioning certain pre-call content. One or more machine learning models can be employed for determining the pre-call content to be cached and/or presented prior to a user accepting a call from another user. Feedback provided before, during, and/or after the call can be used as a basis from which to prioritize certain content and/or sources of content when generating pre-call content for a subsequent call. Other information, such as contextual data (e.g., calendar entries, available peripheral devices, location, etc.) corresponding to the previous call and/or the subsequent call, can also be used as a basis from which to provide a pre-call analysis.

    Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on computer storage media, for announcing and detecting automated conversation are disclosed. One of the methods includes initiating, over a natural language communication channel, a conversation with a communication participant using a natural language communication method that includes a dialogue of natural language communications. The communication participant is determined to be automated using a pre-defined adaptive interactive protocol that specifies natural language linguistic transformations defined in a sequence. The conversation can be transitioned to a communication method that is different form the natural language communication method in response to determining that the communication participant is automated.

    Abstract: Techniques and a framework are described herein for constructing and/or updating, e.g., on top of a general-purpose knowledge graph, an “event-specific provisional knowledge graph.” In various implementations, live data stream(s) may be analyzed to identify entity(s) associated with a developing event. The entity(s) may form part of a general-purpose knowledge graph that includes entity nodes and edges between the entity nodes. Based on the identified one or more entities, an event-specific provisional knowledge graph may be constructed or updated in association with the developing event. In some implementations, the event-specific provisional knowledge graph may be queried for new information about the developing event. Computing devices may be caused to render, as output, the new information.
