Abstract: Implementations set forth herein relate to management of casting requests and user inputs at a rechargeable device, which provides access to an automated assistant and is capable of rendering data that is cast from a separate device. Casting requests can be handled by the rechargeable device despite a device SoC of the rechargeable device operating in a sleep mode. Furthermore, spoken utterances provided by a user for invoking the automated assistant can also be adaptively managed by the rechargeable device in order mitigate idle power consumption by the device SoC. Such spoken utterances can be initially processed by a digital signal processor (DSP), and, based on one or more features (e.g., voice characteristic, conformity to a particular invocation phrase, etc.) of the spoken utterance, the device SoC can be initialized for an amount of time that is selected based on the features of the spoken utterance.

Abstract: A messaging application may automatically analyze content of one or more messages and/or user information to automatically provide suggestions to a user within a messaging application. The suggestions may automatically incorporate particular non-messaging functionality into the messaging application. The automatic suggestions may suggest one or more appropriate responses to be selected by a user to respond in the messaging application, and/or may automatically send one or more appropriate responses on behalf of a user.

Abstract: System and method for indexing rendered web page images. A web crawling engine stores the content and crawl time of a web page. A scheduling engine sends the content and crawl time to a rendering engine, and processes requests for embedded objects. If a requested object has been crawled, it sends the contents to the rendering engine. Otherwise it schedules the crawl of the object, and once the object is crawled, it resends the content and crawl time of the web page to the rendering engine. The rendering engine receives the content and crawl time of a web page, requests all embedded objects, and renders the web page to an image once all embedded objects are received.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on a computer storage medium, for classifying changes to resources. In one aspect, a method includes obtaining a first version of a resource. The method includes obtaining a second version of the resource, the second version representing a change to the first version of the resource. The method includes determining feature data that describes changes from the first version to the second version. The method includes creating a feature vector from the feature data. The method includes providing the feature vector to a support vector machine, the support vector machine trained to classify the second version of the resource as having one of changes requiring a change notification or changes not requiring a change notification. The method includes classifying the second version as requiring a change notification or not requiring a change notification based on output from the support vector machine.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus, for refining log file join data. In one aspect, a method includes receiving first join data defining first joins of records in a first log file to records in a second log file. Each first join of a record in the first log file to a record in the second log file is based on an association of the first identifier of the record in the first log file to the second identifier of the record in the second log file. Associations of the first identifiers to the second identifiers in the first join data that meet a confidence threshold are stored in a mapping of first identifiers to second identifiers as a mapped association. For each mapped association, records that include the first identifier from the first log file are associated with records that include the second identifier from the second log file.

Abstract: Systems, methods and computer program products for determining lost opportunities resulting from changes to advertising spending are described. To assist advertisers in evaluating and allocating a proper budget to advertising, an analyzer can be used to develop an analytical model that gathers data pertaining to the incremental value of search advertising. (e.g., the true cost of the additional click lost or gained), which can be presented to the advertisers when changes have been made/proposed to the advertiser's advertising spending. The analyzer can detect large changes in advertising spending, and indicate (e.g., by prediction) how many total clicks were lost or gained as a result of the change in advertising spending to allow the advertisers to visualize the impact to changes in advertising spending, and determine when to decrease advertising budget on ads that yield low return-on-investment or to increase advertising budget to maximize the effectiveness of an active ad campaign.

Abstract: The present visibility-aware service reduces power-intensive activities when a window associated with the visibility-aware service is not visible. The window is not visible when the window is minimized or when the window is switched from a foreground position to a background position on a display.

Abstract: A method and apparatus are provided for identifying a caller of a call from the caller to a recipient. A voice input is received from the caller, and characteristics of the voice input are applied to a plurality of acoustic models, which include a generic acoustic model and acoustic models of any previously identified callers, to obtain a plurality of respective acoustic scores. The caller is identified as one of the previously identified callers or as a new caller based on the plurality of acoustic scores. If the caller is identified as a new caller, a new acoustic model is generated for the new caller, which is specific to the new caller.

Abstract: Tone reproduction of an image is improved by the use of error diffusion or dithering in the mapping of input pixel values on an input values scale to printer pixel values on a printer values scale, where the input values scale and the printer values scale both have more than two levels, to generate an image where a spatial average of printer values approximates a spatial average of the corresponding input values, as measured on the printer values scale. To improve the tone reproduction of reduced-resolution images, the printer pixel values are grouped into multi-pixel cells, printer pixel values within each cell are mapped to a font index value, and a font cell corresponding to the index level is printed at the location of the cell. The font set is chosen such that differences in total deposited ink between consecutive font cells is minimized.
