  • Patent number: 12265898
    Abstract: Example aspects of the present disclosure are directed to systems and methods that learn a compressed representation of a machine-learned model (e.g., neural network) via representation of the model parameters within a reparameterization space during training of the model. In particular, the present disclosure describes an end-to-end model weight compression approach that employs a latent-variable data compression method. The model parameters (e.g., weights and biases) are represented in a “latent” or “reparameterization” space, amounting to a reparameterization. In some implementations, this space can be equipped with a learned probability model, which is used first to impose an entropy penalty on the parameter representation during training, and second to compress the representation using arithmetic coding after training. The proposed approach can thus maximize accuracy and model compressibility jointly, in an end-to-end fashion, with the rate-error trade-off specified by a hyperparameter.

  • Patent number: 12266359
    Abstract: Implementations described herein generally relate to generating a modification selectable element that may be provided for presentation to a user in a smart dictation session with an automated assistant. The modification selectable element may, when selected, cause a transcription, that includes textual data generated based on processing audio data that captures a spoken utterance and that is automatically arranged, to be modified. The transcription may be automatically arranged to include spacing, punctuation, capitalization, indentations, paragraph breaks, and/or other arrangement operations that are not specified by the user in providing the spoken utterance. Accordingly, a subsequent selection of the modification selectable element may cause these automatic arrangement operation(s), and/or the textual data locationally proximate to these automatic arrangement operation(s), to be modified.

    Abstract: An optical engine of a display system includes first and second sets of laser light sources, which may be independently controllable, with laser light from each set of laser light sources being respectively combined to form first and second elliptical laser light beams. The first and second elliptical laser light beams may propagate along parallel or angularly separated optical paths prior to incidence at a scan mirror of an optical scanner of the system. In some embodiments, the first and second elliptical laser light beams are incident on separate regions of the reflective surface of the scan mirror. In some embodiments, the first and second elliptical laser light beams are incident on partially overlapping regions of the reflective surface of the scan mirror.

  • Patent number: 12260154
    Abstract: Methods, apparatus, and computer readable media related to interaction between a user and an automated assistant during a dialog between the user and the automated assistant. Some implementations are directed to adapting a graphical and/or audible presentation of search results provided by the automated assistant for presentation to the user. The adaptation may be in response to attribute(s), of one or more of the search results, referenced in spoken and/or typed textual input provided by the user during the dialog. Some of those implementations may enable a user to provide textual input to navigate the search results within the dialog and within resource and/or interface constraints associated with the dialog. Some of those implementations may additionally and/or alternatively enable adapting, based on textual input provided by a user to the automated assistant, when and/or whether search results having certain attributes are provided to the user by the automated assistant.

  • Patent number: 12260858
    Abstract: Systems and methods for providing dialog data, from an initially invoked automated assistant to a subsequently invoked automated assistant. A first automated assistant may be invoked by a user utterance, followed by a dialog with the user that is processed by the first automated assistant. During the dialog, a request to transfer dialog data to a second automated assistant is received. The request may originate with the user, by the first automated assistant, and/or by the second automated assistant. Once authorized, the first automated assistant provides the previous dialog data to the second automated assistant. The second automated assistant performs one or more actions based on the dialog data.

  • Patent number: 12259947
    Abstract: Implementations set forth herein relate to selectively relying on additional suggestion model(s) when generating selectable suggestions, while also maintaining access to a default suggestion model. The selectable suggestions can be generated using one or more additional multi-domain machine learning (ML) models, which can be optionally available to the client application, regardless of whether a default suggestion model remains useful for generating suitable suggestions. In some implementations, as the client application employs various additional multi-domain ML models, a particular model can be identified as improving suggestions for the client application, at least based on user feedback and/or other data. The particular model can then be selected to replace and/or supplement the default suggestion model, in order to provide more accurate suggestions that, when selected, initialize actions that can preserve time and computational resources.

  • Patent number: 12262303
    Abstract: A UE activates a timer for applying access control to transmissions associated with a certain access category during an access control period, in response to a first system information message received via a radio interface and a mobile-originated access request (1702). While the timer is running, the UE receives a second message that indicates a potential transition of the UE (i) from a current state associated with a protocol for controlling radio resources to another state associated with the protocol, or (ii) from a current cell to a new cell (1704). In response to the second message, the UE continues to apply the access control to the transmissions for the access category, for a remainder of the access control period (1706).

  • Patent number: 12260340
    Abstract: Provided is a knowledge distillation technique for training a student language model that, relative to a larger teacher language model, has a significantly smaller vocabulary, lower embedding dimensions, and/or hidden state dimensions. Specifically, aspects of the present disclosure are directed to a dual-training mechanism that trains the teacher and student language models simultaneously to obtain optimal word embeddings for the student vocabulary. In some implementations, this approach can be combined with learning shared projection matrices that transfer layer-wise knowledge from the teacher language model to the student language model. Example experimental results have also demonstrated higher compression efficiency and accuracy when compared with other state-of-the-art compression techniques, including the ability to compress the BERTBASE model by more than 60×, with only a minor drop in downstream task metrics, resulting in a language model with a footprint of under 7 MB.

  • Patent number: 12260861
    Abstract: Implementations relate to mitigating client device latency in rendering of remotely generated automated assistant content. Some of those implementations mitigate client device latency between rendering of multiple instances of output that are each based on content that is responsive to a corresponding automated assistant action of a multiple action request. For example, those implementations can reduce latency between rendering of first output that is based on first content responsive to a first automated assistant action of a multiple action request, and second output that is based on second content responsive to a second automated assistant action of the multiple action request.
