  • Providing personalized responses based on semantic context
    Patent number: 11610065
    Abstract: Systems and processes for operating an intelligent automated assistant are provided. For example, a first message is received, wherein a semantic representation of the first message is obtained. In accordance with a determination that the semantic representation of the first message is within a predefined distance of a stored semantic representation, one or more stored reply message representations within the predefined distance of the semantic representation of the first message are identified. The one or more stored reply message representations may correspond to one or more messages previously sent, by a user of the electronic device, in response to a previously received second message. The second message may be semantically similar to the first message. One or more reply messages are provided based on the one or more identified reply message representations, wherein the one or more reply message suggestions are provided as suggested responses to the first message.
