Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed and described for correcting errors in ASR transcriptions. For an incorrect transcription, different words or phrases from the transcription, and/or related words or phrases, are submitted as hint words to the ASR system, and the voice query is submitted again, to determine new transcriptions. This process is repeated with different transcription terms, until a different and more proper transcription is generated. This increases the accuracy of ASR systems.

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 are described for generating metadata for a media asset. The system retrieves an associated first metadata item for a media asset, where the first metadata item includes a first label field and an associated first data field. The system tries to fill in the first data field by looking it up in a remote database. If the remote database lacks data needed to fill in the first data field, the system generates a natural language request and publishes it to a plurality of users. The system analyzes a plurality of replies received in response to the published request to identify a text segment that is common to at least some of the replies. The system fills in the first data field with the identified text segment.

Abstract: Systems and methods are described for providing subtitles for a media content item. Subtitles are obtained, using control circuitry, for the media content item. Control circuitry determines whether a character component of the subtitles should be replaced by an image component. In response to determining that the character component of the subtitles should be replaced by an image component, control circuitry selects, from memory, an image component corresponding to the character component. Control circuitry replaces the character component of the subtitles by the image component to generate modified subtitles.

Abstract: Methods and systems for calculating, storing, and allowing electronic searches for metadata associated with media titles. The metadata includes scores specific to each actor and each genre of a media title, where the scores indicate the degree to which an actor's performance in that title corresponds to a particular genre. Electronic searches for particular actors' performance in a specific genre thus return more accurate results that more correctly reflect how well the actors' performances reflect that genre.

Abstract: Systems and methods for a computer-based process that determines when a viewer is likely to skip over supplemental content and adjusts supplemental content presentation to compensate. Systems of embodiments of the disclosure may utilize various inputs to determine the likelihood of skipping supplemental content, including cursor position at or near specified icons or other UI elements, as well as user actions such as gaze direction, various motions or actions, controller manipulations, and the like. Once a likelihood of skipping supplemental content is determined, various actions may be taken in response, including without limitation selection of supplemental content that conveys its intended message prior to skipping, supplemental content that can be played at increased speed, and designation of supplemental content slots as skippable or non-skippable.

Abstract: Systems and methods for dynamically routing notifications based on device statuses are disclosed herein. For instance, a notification may be generated for a user account corresponding to an application that is installed on a plurality of devices. A system identifies a status of each of the plurality of devices and uses the status of each of the plurality of devices to select a particular device to receive the notification. The system then transmits the notification to the selected particular device.
