Publication number: 20240320451Abstract: Automatic generation of intelligent content is created using a system of computers including a user device and a cloud-based component that processes the user information. The system performs a process that includes receiving an input document and parsing the input document to generate inputs for a natural language generation model using a text analysis model. The natural language generation model generates one or more candidate presentation scripts based on the inputs. A presentation script is selected from the candidate presentation scripts and displayed. A text-to-speech model may be used to generate a synthesized audio presentation of the presentation script. A final presentation may be generated that includes a visual display of the input document and the corresponding audio presentation in sync with the visual display.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 6, 2024Publication date: September 26, 2024Inventors: Ji LI, Konstantin SELESKEROV, Huey-Ru TSAI, Muin Barkatali MOMIN, Ramya TRIDANDAPANI, Sindhu Vigasini JAMBUNATHAN, Amit SRIVASTAVA, Derek Martin JOHNSON, Gencheng WU, Sheng ZHAO, Xinfeng CHEN, Bohan LI

Patent number: 11341331Abstract: An intelligent speech assistant receives information collected while a user is speaking. The information can comprise speech data, vision data, or both, where the speech data is from the user speaking and the vision data is of the user while speaking. The assistant evaluates the speech data against a script which can contain information that the user should speak, information that the user should not speak, or both. The assistant collects instances where the user utters phrases that match the script or instances where the user utters phrases that do not match the script, depending on whether phases should or should not be spoken. The assistant evaluates vision data to identify gestures, facial expressions, and/or emotions of the user. Instances where the gestures, facial expressions, and/or emotions are not appropriate to the context are flagged. Real-time prompts and/or a summary is presented to the user as feedback.Type: GrantFiled: October 4, 2019Date of Patent: May 24, 2022Assignee: MICROSOFT TECHNOLOGY LICENSING, LLCInventors: Huakai Liao, Priyanka Vikram Sinha, Kevin Dara Khieu, Derek Martin Johnson, Siliang Kang, Huey-Ru Tsai, Amit Srivastava
