    Abstract: As part of a dialog session between a user and an automated assistant, implementations can process, using a streaming ASR model, a stream of audio data that captures a portion of a spoken utterance to generate ASR output, process, using an NLU model, the ASR output to generate NLU output, and cause, based on the NLU output, a stream of fulfillment data to be generated. Further, implementations can further determine, based on processing the stream of audio data, audio-based characteristics associated with the portion of the spoken utterance captured in the stream of audio data. Based on the audio-based characteristics and/the stream of NLU output, implementations can determine whether the user has paused in providing the spoken utterance or has completed providing of the spoken utterance. If the user has paused, implementations can cause natural conversation output to be provided for presentation to the user.

    Abstract: As part of a dialog session between a user and an automated assistant, implementations can process, using a streaming ASR model, a stream of audio data to generate ASR output, process, using an NLU model, the ASR output to generate NLU output, and generate, based on the NLU output, a stream of fulfillment data. Further, implementations can further determine, based on processing the stream of audio data, audio-based characteristics associated with spoken utterance(s) captured in the stream of audio data. Based on a current state of the stream of NLU output, the stream of fulfillment data, and the audio-based characteristics, implementations can determine whether a next interaction state to be implemented is: (i) causing fulfillment output to be implemented; (ii) causing natural conversation output to be audibly rendered; or (iii) refrain from causing any interaction to be implemented, can cause the next interaction state to be implemented.
