Abstract: Systems and methods of reducing remote procedure calls in multimedia content delivery are described. A client device can request and receive digital content for presentation via an application executing on the client device in a sandboxed media environment. A markup interpreter executing on the client device can intercept, prior to receipt by the application executing in the sandboxed media environment, the content item. The markup interpreter can parse the content item to extract an identifier of a script. The markup interpreter can identify the script stored in a local cache on the client device separate from the sandboxed media environment. The markup interpreter can construct a modified content item. The markup interpreter can forward the modified content item to the application executing on the client device in the sandboxed media environment to cause the application to execute the modified content item.

Abstract: Methods, apparatus, systems, and computer-readable media are provided for transferring dialog sessions between devices using deep links. The dialog sessions can correspond to interactions, mediated by an automated assistant, between a user and a third party application. During the dialog session, a user can request that the dialog session be transferred to a different device, for example, to interact with the third party application through a different modality. In response, the automated assistant and/or the third party application can generate a link that can be transferred to the transferee device to allow the transferee device to seamlessly take over the dialog session. In this way, computational resources and electrical power can be preserved by not requiring a recipient device to re-process natural language inputs previously provided during the dialog session.

Abstract: A server can receive a seed keyword to generate additional keywords relevant to the seed keyword. The server can identify, using a semantic relationship graph, keyword categories. Each keyword can have a semantic distance from the seed keyword less than a threshold. The server can generate, for each keyword of the keyword categories, a keyword-seed affinity score based on a frequency of the keyword occurring with the seed keyword on an information resource. The server can determine, for each keyword category, a category-seed affinity score based on the keyword-seed affinity scores for each of keyword in the keyword category. The server can compare each category-seed affinity score a threshold. The server can transmit, for display, the keywords. One keyword category can be indicated as selected and another keyword category can be indicated as unselected based on the comparison.

Abstract: Methods, apparatus, systems, and computer-readable media are provided for providing context specific schema files that allow an automated assistant to broker human-to-computer dialogs between a user and an application that is separate from the automated assistant. The context specific schema file can provide the automated assistant with sufficient data to be responsive to user queries without necessarily communicating with a remote device, such as a server. Multiple different context specific schema files can be made available to the automated assistant according to a context in which a user is interacting with the automated assistant. In this way, latency otherwise exhibited by the automated assistant can be mitigated by providing the automated assistant with the information needed to respond to a user without continually retrieving the information over a network.
