Abstract: Mitigating latency in guiding a user, during an interaction between the user and a computing system, in selecting a subset of item(s), from a superset of candidate items, and causing performance of further action(s) based on the selected subset of item(s). In guiding a user in selecting the subset of items, various implementations enable the user to provide only spoken input(s) in selecting the subset of item(s), and provide visual output(s) that are responsive to the spoken input(s) and that guide the user in selecting the item(s). In some of those various implementations, there is not any (or there is only de minimis) audible spoken synthesized spoken output rendered by the computing system in guiding the user in selecting the subset of item(s).

Abstract: Implementations described herein utilize an independent server for facilitating secure exchange of data between multiple disparate parties. The independent server receives client data, via an automated assistant application executing at least in part at a client device, that is to be transmitted to a given third-party application. The independent server processes the client data, using a first encoder-decoder model, to generate opaque client data, and transmits the opaque client data to the given third-party application and without transmitting any of the client data. Further, the independent server receives response data, via the given third-party application, that is generated based on the opaque client data and that is to be transmitted back to the client device. The independent server processes the response data, using a second encoder-decoder model, to generate opaque response data, and transmits the opaque response data to the client device and without transmitting any of the response data.

Abstract: Aspects of the disclosure are directed to a transactional agent for user interactions. The agent can seamlessly respond to user requests in a conversational manner while maintaining the conversational state. The agent can include a multi-stage modular model architecture, including a semantic understander and a semantic matcher. The semantic understander can be configured to understand common conversation conventions and/or patterns to produce a structure representation of a user request. The semantic matcher can be configured to map items and modifiers to product entries for a particular domain.

Abstract: One embodiment of the present invention provides a system for creating a health/wellness program on a generic health/wellness platform. During operation, the system receives, at the generic health/wellness platform, a set of definitions for the health/wellness program, constructs a program model for the health/wellness program, generates a program instance to be executed on the generic health/wellness platform, and associates the program instance to a number of health/wellness modules provided by the health/wellness platform.

Abstract: A method and system for delivering a multidimensional wellness coaching program and recommendation to a computing device. During operation, the system receives a request for content to assist the user in achieving a health and wellness goal from the computing device. The system estimates numeric values for a radar chart. The system may create a customized program by combining components and primitives and the customized program includes a set of activities for the user to perform. The system may receive user input and sensor and user activity data from the computing device. Based on the received information, the system may modify the radar chart. The system may modify components of the customized program based on the radar chart. The system may generate a coaching recommendation based on the radar chart. The system then sends the customized program and coaching recommendation to the computing device.

Abstract: One embodiment of the present invention provides a system for automatically reporting progress in completing objectives and goals of a plan. During operation, the system receives data indicating user selection and/or configuration of a plan with one or more goals, objectives, and/or milestones. The system obtains data generated by sensors in a sensing device and/or a mobile device. The sensors generate physiological data or data from detecting activity or environment associated with the user. Next, the system analyzes the data to determine whether the user has completed an objective, milestone, or goal of the plan. If the system determines that the user has completed an objective, milestone, or goal of the plan, the system pushes an alert to the mobile device indicating that the user has completed the objective, milestone, or goal.

Abstract: One embodiment of the present invention provides a system for generating healthcare suggestions. During operation, the system extracts data based on a user's communication, which can be between the user and other users or presented online by the user. The system identifies a health-related issue from the extracted data. The system then generates, based on the extracted data, content that indicates a first suggestion corresponding to the health-related issue. The system subsequently monitors the user's communication to generate an additional suggestion that is an improvement over the first suggestion.

Abstract: Systems and methods for organizing and aiding the interpretation of large amounts of data are disclosed. One embodiment of the system, among others, includes receiving gene names, associating the gene names to gene-word pair relationships, and grouping the gene names with high strength of gene-word relationships, the strength of the gene-word relationships corresponding to the relatedness in function of corresponding grouped genes.
