  • Patent number: 11822894
    Abstract: Methods and apparatuses are described for integrating common and context-specific natural language understanding (NLU) processing in a virtual assistant application. A server identifies a common NLU processing unit comprising (i) a common NLU classification model and (ii) a common response library comprising common responses. The server builds a combined NLU processing unit based upon the common NLU classification model and a context-specific NLU classification model, the combined NLU processing unit comprising (i) a combined NLU classification model trained using the common NLU training data and context-specific NLU training data, (ii) the common response library and (iii) a context-specific response library comprising context-specific responses. The server generates a response to an input utterance by determining a user intent associated with the input utterance using the combined NLU classification model, locating a response associated with the user intent in one or more of the libraries.

  • Publication number: 20220283923
    Abstract: A computer-implemented technique controls consumption of applications by a supervisee (e.g., a child). The technique detects when a supervisee attempts to interact with an application. In response, the technique receives context input signals that describe a current context affecting the supervisee. The technique then generates an output result based on the current context information and a set of rules expressed by rule logic. The technique then controls interaction by the supervisee with the application based on the output result. In one implementation, the technique automatically generates the rule logic, which may correspond to a set of discrete rules and/or a machine-trained model that implicitly expresses the rules. At least some of the rules specify amounts of time allocated to the supervisee for interaction with the plural applications in plural contexts. According to another illustrative aspect, the technique uses a machine-trained model to automatically classify a new application.

  • Patent number: 11330399
    Abstract: In non-limiting examples of the present disclosure, systems, methods and devices for surfacing alerts are provided. A monitoring service may monitor a plurality of devices associated with a group. The group may include a plurality of accounts. Each account may be associated with a different location control list. The location control list may include locational information comprising geocoordinates of locations that a corresponding user is approved to visit and temporal information corresponding to times, days of the week, and/or dates when a corresponding user is approved to visit a location. If a determination is made that a device associated with an account is at a location that is not included in a location control list for the account, an anomaly alert may be surfaced on one or more devices associated with other group members. The alert may be surfaced in association with a safety score for the location.
