  • Publication number: 20240012540
    Abstract: The present disclosure is directed to input suggestion. In particular, the methods and systems of the present disclosure can: receive, from a first application executed by one or more computing devices, data indicating information that has been presented by and/or input into the first application; generate, based at least in part on the received data, one or more suggested candidate inputs for a second application executed by the computing device(s); provide, in association with the second application, an interface comprising one or more options to select at least one suggested candidate input of the suggested candidate input(s); and responsive to receiving data indicating a selection of a particular suggested candidate input of the suggested candidate input(s) via the interface, communicate, to the second application, data indicating the particular suggested candidate input.

  • Publication number: 20230379678
    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for a personalized entity repository. For example, a computing device comprises a personalized entity repository having fixed sets of entities from an entity repository stored at a server, a processor, and memory storing instructions that cause the computing device to identify fixed sets of entities that are relevant to a user based on context associated with the computing device, rank the fixed sets by relevancy, and update the personalized entity repository using selected sets determined based on the rank and on set usage parameters applicable to the user. In another example, a method includes generating fixed sets of entities from an entity repository, including location-based sets and topic-based sets, and providing a subset of the fixed sets to a client, the client requesting the subset based on the client's location and on items identified in content generated for display on the client.

  • Patent number: 11716600
    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for a personalized entity repository. For example, a computing device comprises a personalized entity repository having fixed sets of entities from an entity repository stored at a server, a processor, and memory storing instructions that cause the computing device to identify fixed sets of entities that are relevant to a user based on context associated with the computing device, rank the fixed sets by relevancy, and update the personalized entity repository using selected sets determined based on the rank and on set usage parameters applicable to the user. In another example, a method includes generating fixed sets of entities from an entity repository, including location-based sets and topic-based sets, and providing a subset of the fixed sets to a client, the client requesting the subset based on the client's location and on items identified in content generated for display on the client.

  • Publication number: 20190102458
    Abstract: In general, the subject matter described in this disclosure can be embodied in methods, systems, and program products. A computing device stores reference song characterization data and receives digital audio data. The computing device determines whether the digital audio data represents music and then performs a different process to recognize that the digital audio data represents a particular reference song. The computing device then outputs an indication of the particular reference song.

  • Publication number: 20190102144
    Abstract: In general, the subject matter described in this disclosure can be embodied in methods, systems, and program products for indicating a reference song. A computing device stores reference song characterization data that identifies a plurality of audio characteristics for each reference song in a plurality of reference songs. The computing device receives digital audio data that represents audio recorded by a microphone, converts the digital audio data from time-domain format into frequency-domain format, and uses the digital audio data in the frequency-domain format in a music-characterization process. In response to determining that characterization values for the digital audio data are most relevant to characterization values for a particular reference song, the computing device outputs an indication of the particular reference song.

  • Patent number: 8386251
    Abstract: A speech recognition system is provided with iteratively refined multiple passes through the received data to enhance the accuracy of the results by introducing constraints and adaptation from initial passes into subsequent recognition operations. The multiple passes are performed on an initial utterance received from a user. The iteratively enhanced subsequent passes are also performed on following utterances received from the user increasing an overall system efficiency and accuracy.
