    Abstract: A dialog with a conversational virtual assistant includes a sequence of user queries and systems responses. Queries are received and interpreted by a natural language understanding system. Dialog context information gathered from user queries and system responses is stored in a layered context data structure. Incomplete queries, which do not have sufficient information to result in an actionable interpretation, become actionable with use of context data. The system recognizes the need to access context data, and retrieves from context layers information required to transform the query into an executable one. The system may then act on the query and provide an appropriate response to the user. Context data buffers forget information, perhaps selectively, with the passage of time, and after a sufficient number and type of intervening queries.

    Abstract: The present invention relates to providing identification information in response to an audio segment using a first mode of operation including receiving an audio segment and sending the audio segment to a remote server and receiving, from the remote server, identification information relating to the audio segment, and a second mode of operation of receiving an audio segment and using stored information to obtain identification information relating to the received audio segment received, without sending the audio segment to the remote server. The present invention further includes using identification information from the remote server and using local identification information and selecting either identification information from the remote server or local identification information based on selection criteria, and generating an output based on the selected identification information.

    Abstract: Systems and methods for searching cloud-based databases are provided herein. A service provider may have a need to make their database(s) searchable through search technology. However, the service provider may not have the resources to implement such search technology. The search technology may allow for search queries against these cloud-based databases. The technology described herein provides a solution addressing the service provider's need, by giving a search technology that furnishes search results in a fast, accurate manner. In further embodiments, systems and methods to monetize those search results are also described herein.

    Abstract: Original concepts obtained from a query may be augmented with additional concepts connected to the original concepts in a concept graph in response to determining that the original concepts did not match a sufficient number of bid functions. The augmented set of concepts may then be evaluated with respect to the bid functions to identify matching ad functions. This process may be repeated until a sufficient number of matching ad functions are found. A bid amount of the matching bid functions may be calculated, such as based on semantic information obtained as a result of the query. The bid amounts may further be based on environmental information. A bid function is selected based on the bid amounts and the content associated with the bid function is provided to the source of the query. The content may be selected based on the semantic information.
