Patent number: 12387053Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention provide an approach for compressing data, and more particularly, to large-scale text data encoding and compression using absolute overfitting on pre-trained language models. Large-scale data is parsed into sentences. A unique token is generated for each sentence to form a token list. A generative (or compression) model is trained from the tokens in the token list to produce the corresponding sentence of each token through absolute overfitting of a pre-trained language model. The compressed text data is stored as the token list and generative model, resulting in a storage space savings.Type: GrantFiled: January 27, 2022Date of Patent: August 12, 2025Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Zhong Fang Yuan, Tong Liu, Wen Wang, Chen Gao, Xiang Yu Yang

Patent number: 12361928Abstract: A second wake word detector, at a media-playback device, that plays audio (or other) content to a device, such as a voice-enabled device, detects false wake words in the audio content. The second wake word detector analyzes the audio stream to determine if the audio stream contains any audio that sounds like the wake word. If so, the second wake word detector can generate one of a plurality of instructions that describes the time period, within the audio content, in which the false wake word was encountered. The instruction can cause a first wake word detector to assume one of a plurality of configurations. The media-playback device can then instruct or inform the voice-enabled device of the presence of the false wake word. In this way, the wake word detector, at the voice-enabled device, is not activated to receive the false wake word or ignores the wake word.Type: GrantFiled: January 26, 2022Date of Patent: July 15, 2025Assignee: Spotify ABInventors: Daniel Bromand, Björn Erik Roth

Patent number: 12327553Abstract: 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.Type: GrantFiled: November 29, 2021Date of Patent: June 10, 2025Assignee: GOOGLE LLCInventors: Joseph Smarr, David Eisenberg, Hugo Santos, David Elson
