Patent number: 11574634Abstract: Dynamic interfacing with applications is provided. For example, a system receives a first input audio signal. The system processes, via a natural language processing technique, the first input audio signal to identify an application. The system activates the application for execution on the client computing device. The application declares a function the application is configured to perform. The system modifies the natural language processing technique responsive to the function declared by the application. The system receives a second input audio signal. The system processes, via the modified natural language processing technique, the second input audio signal to detect one or more parameters. The system determines that the one or more parameters are compatible for input into an input field of the application. The system generates an action data structure for the application. The system inputs the action data structure into the application, which executes the action data structure.Type: GrantFiled: December 20, 2019Date of Patent: February 7, 2023Assignee: GOOGLE LLCInventors: Quazi Hussain, Adam Coimbra, Ilya Firman

Patent number: 11568132Abstract: The present disclosure relates to concurrent learning of a relationship estimation model and a phrase generation model. The relationship estimation model estimates a relationship between phrases. The phrase generation model generates a phrase that relates to an input phrase. The phrase generation model includes an encoder and a decoder. The encoder converts a phrase into a vector using a three-piece set as learning data. The decoder generates, based on the converted vector and a connection expression or a relationship label, a phrase having a relationship expressed by the connection expression or the relationship label for the phrase. The relationship estimation model generates a relationship score from the converted vector, which indicates each phrase included in a combination of the phrases, and a vector indicating the connection expression and the relationship label.Type: GrantFiled: March 1, 2019Date of Patent: January 31, 2023Assignee: NIPPON TELEGRAPH AND TELEPHONE CORPORATIONInventors: Itsumi Saito, Kyosuke Nishida, Hisako Asano, Junji Tomita
