Abstract: Systems and methods of combining digital video are described. A system can receive digital video comprising frames. The system can analyze the frames to identify a subset of consecutive frames that have a static portion defined by a spatial region with matching pixels across two or more frames. The system can tag the digital video with an indication of the subset and a trigger that causes transmission, at a temporal offset during playback prior to the subset, of a request for content used to overwrite the static portion. The system can receive the request from the client device, the request transmitted by the client device based on the temporal offset during playback prior to the subset. The system can select and transmit a content item responsive to the request to cause the client device to render the content item at the static portion of the subset.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a streaming speech-to-speech conversion model, where an encoder runs in real time while a user is speaking, then after the speaking stops, a decoder generates output audio in real time. A streaming-based approach produces an acceptable delay with minimal loss in conversion quality when compared to other non-streaming server-based models. A hybrid model approach for combines look-ahead in the encoder and a non-causal stacker with non-causal self-attention.

The method includes outputting, by the first computing device, the playback of the first utterance corresponding to the watermarked first speech data. The second computing device is configured to receive the watermarked first speech data and determine to cease processing of the watermarked first speech data.

Abstract: Implementations set forth herein relate to an automated assistant that can interact with applications that may not have been pre-configured for interfacing with the automated assistant. The automated assistant can identify content of an application interface of the application to determine synonymous terms that a user may speak when commanding the automated assistant to perform certain tasks. Speech processing operations employed by the automated assistant can be biased towards these synonymous terms when the user is accessing an application interface of the application. In some implementations, the synonymous terms can be identified in a responsive language of the automated assistant when the content of the application interface is being rendered in a different language. This can allow the automated assistant to operate as an interface between the user and certain applications that may not be rendering content in a native language of the user.

Abstract: Implementations set forth herein relate to effectuating device arbitration in a multi-device environment using data available from a wearable computing device, such as computerized glasses. The computerized glasses can include a camera, which can be used to provide image data for resolving issues related to device arbitration. In some implementations, a direction that a user is directing their computerized glasses, and/or directing their gaze (as detected by the computerized glasses with prior permission from the user), can be used to prioritize a particular device in a multi-device environment. A detected orientation of the computerized glasses can also be used to determine how to simultaneously allocate content between a graphical display of the computerized glasses and another graphical display of another client device. When content is allocated to the computerized glasses, content-specific gestures can be enabled and actionable at the computerized glasses.

Abstract: Some implementations are directed to adapting a client application on a feature phone based on experiment parameters. Some of those implementations are directed to adapting an assistant client application, where the assistant client application interacts with remote assistant component(s) to provide automated assistant functionalities via the assistant client application of the feature phone. Some implementations are additionally or alternatively directed to determining whether an invocation, of an assistant client application on a feature phone, is a request for transcription of voice data received in conjunction with the invocation, or is instead a request for an assistant response that is responsive to the transcription of the voice data (e.g., includes assistant content that is based on and in addition to the transcription, and that optionally lacks the transcription itself).

Abstract: Display systems, such as near eye display systems or wearable heads up displays, may include a laser projector having an optical switch assembly disposed an at input to an optical scanner of the laser projector. The optical switch assembly includes at least one optical switch, and a controller selectively modifies the orientation of each optical switch to selectively change an angle at which laser light is directed onto a scan mirror of the optical scanner. Changing this angle shifts the scan region over which the scan mirror scans the laser light and, relatedly, shifts a region of a field of view of the display. In some embodiments, the controller is configured to modify the optical switch orientation(s) to correct non-idealities in the angle of the laser light.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on computer storage media, for generating suggested search queries. One method includes receiving, during a search session, a request for a suggested search query; in response to receiving the request for the suggested search query, identifying an entity that is associated with an item of media content; generating a suggested search query based on the identified entity; and providing data that causes the generated suggested search query to be presented in a user interface.

Abstract: Techniques are described herein for assembling/evaluating automated assistant responses for privacy concerns. In various implementations, a free-form natural language input may be received from a first user and may include a request for information pertaining to a second user. Multiple data sources may be identified that are accessible by an automated assistant to retrieve data associated with the second user. The multiple data sources may collectively include sufficient data to formulate a natural language response to the request. Respective privacy scores associated with the multiple data sources may be used to determine an aggregate privacy score associated with responding to the request. The natural language response may then be output at a client device operated by the first user in response to a determination that the aggregate privacy score associated with the natural language response satisfies a privacy criterion established for the second user with respect to the first user.
