  • Publication number: 20230169279
    Abstract: Various aspects of the subject technology relate to a dialogue guidance system. The dialogue guidance system is configured to receive input data captured from a communication event among at least a first participant and a second participant. The input data may include one or more of text data, audio data, or video data. The dialogue guidance system is configured to identify, based on the input data, one of a sentiment or a disposition corresponding to the communication event, determine dialogue guidance for the first participant based on one of the sentiment or the disposition, and provide the dialogue guidance to the first participant.

  • Publication number: 20220303619
    Abstract: A media content control system receives information about a user, who may be a consumer (e.g., a viewer, reader, and/or listener) of media content. The media content control system can analyze the information about the user to determine insights, which may for instance be related to demographics, sentiment, social networks, beliefs, interactions, history, reputation, body language, expressed reactions, and/or analysis of other similar users. The media content control system can automatically generate customized media content based on the insights determined about the user, for instance by selecting a subset of media content segments to output to the user based on the insights, and by selecting an order in which the selected media content segments are to be output to the user. The media content control system can output the customized media content to the user's user device, in some cases also based on the insights.

  • Publication number: 20220222241
    Abstract: Systems and methods for verifying and/or challenging the veracity and/or objectivity of media content are provided. In some examples, a warranty system stores, in a distributed ledger, a warranty of veracity of an aspect of a media asset. The warranty includes a smart contract specifying that an action is to be performed in response to a condition being met. The warranty system receives a challenge from a challenger device. The challenge disputes the veracity of the aspect of the media asset. The warranty system verifies that the challenge accurately disputes the veracity of the aspect of the media asset. The warranty system identifies that the condition is met based on verification that the challenge accurately challenges the veracity of the aspect of the media asset. The warranty system automatically triggers performance of the action in response to identifying that the condition is met.

  • Publication number: 20200073922
    Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure involve systems and methods for aligning terminology used in dialogue between participants. In particular, where participants use terms and/or phrases in distinct manners, systems and methods discussed in this disclosure may identify said mismatched terms and/or phrases and provided aligned outputs in the form of replacement terms and phrases and/or an explanation of the identified mismatch. For example, homographs or terms with distinct meanings across disciplines can confuse dialogue and cause participants to “talk past each other” and the like. In some examples, term or phrase meanings may vary based on respective participant usage histories. While the disclosure depicts alignment of homographs, it is understood that this is for the sake of clarity only and that the methods and systems herein disclosed can also be used to align or identify misaligned terms on bases of degree, moral and/or social connotations, emotional impact, etc.
