Abstract: Apparatuses, methods, systems, and program products are disclosed for determining wake word strength. An apparatus includes a processor and a memory that stores code executable by the processor. The code is executable by the processor to select a language model for a potential wake word based on a determined language for the potential wake word. The potential wake word is intended to activate a device. The code is executable by the processor to compare a phonetic signature of the potential wake word with phonetic signatures of model words in the language model to determine a likelihood of occurrence of one or more of the model words based on the potential wake word and provide an indication of a strength of the potential wake word based on the likelihood of occurrence of one or more of the model words.

Abstract: An aspect provides a method, including: accessing, using a processor, a user profile based on user context information, wherein the user context information utilizes user device events; preparing, using the processor, a list of items based on the user profile related to a particular time period organized according to importance based on the user profile; and presenting, using the processor, the list of items related to the particular time period. Other aspects are described and claimed.

Abstract: One embodiment provides a method, including: receiving, at a digital assistant of an information handling device, a query from a user comprising at least two response portions; determining responses for the at least two response portions, wherein the determining comprises separately processing each of the at least two response portions; and providing a response to the user comprising the responses.
