Abstract: A computer-implemented technique uses a machine-trained model to convert input information provided by a user into a natural language expression and a semantic vector. The semantic vector provides a distributed representation of the natural language expression. The technique then uses the generated semantic vector to find a target data record having a target semantic vector that is within a prescribed distance to the generated semantic vector. The technique then outputs at least a target natural language expression that is associated with the target data record. The target data record is produced in an offline process that converts one or more attribute values in an existing structured data record into the target semantic vector and the target natural language expression. Also described herein is a technique for training the machine-trained model and for updating existing collections of data records using the machine-trained model.

Abstract: Disclosed are methods and systems for voice phishing monitoring. For instance, a method includes receiving voice data of an incoming call to a communication device from an application associated with a user account and executing on the device, identifying an entity and interaction allegedly associated with the incoming call from the voice data, determining first fraud indicator data based on a number of the incoming call and second fraud indicator data based on a correspondence of user account interaction data to the entity and/or interaction, and providing the voice data to a trained machine learning system to receive third fraud indicator data based on content and/or a voice characteristic identified from the voice data. The method may further include determining a status for the incoming call of fraudulent or confirmed based on the first, second, and third fraud indicator data, and generating a notification indicating the status for display.

Abstract: Techniques described herein are directed to arbitrating between multiple potentially-responsive, automated-assistant capable electronic devices to determine which should respond to the user's utterance, and/or which should defer to other electronic device(s). In various implementations, a spoken utterance of a user may be detected at a microphone of a first electronic device, a spoken utterance provided by a user. Sound(s) emitted by additional electronic device(s) may also be detected at the microphone. Each of the sound(s) may encode a timestamp corresponding to detection of the spoken utterance at a respective electronic device. Timestamp(s) may be extracted from the sound(s) and compared to a local timestamp corresponding to detection of the spoken utterance at the first electronic device. Based on the comparison, the first electronic device may either invoke an automated assistant locally or defer to one of the additional electronic devices.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and computer-readable media for rapid event voice documentation are provided herein. The rapid event voice documentation system captures verbalized orders and actions and translates that unstructured voice data to structured, usable data for documentation. The voice data captured is tagged with metadata including the name and role of the speaker, a time stamp indicating a time the data was spoken, and a clinical concept identified in the data captured. The system automatically identifies orders (e.g., medications, labs and procedures, etc.), treatments, and assessments/findings that were verbalized during the rapid event to create structured data that is usable by a health information system and ready for documentation directly into an EHR. The system provides all of the captured data including orders, assessment documentation, vital signs and measurements, performed procedures, and treatments, and who performed each, available for viewing and interaction in real time.
