Publication number: 20240054996Abstract: Systems and processes for operating an intelligent automated assistant are provided. In one example process, a speech input is received from a user. In response to determining that the speech input corresponds to a user intent of obtaining information associated with a user experience of the user, one or more parameters referencing a user experience of the user are identified. Metadata associated with the referenced user experience is obtained from an experiential data structure. Based on the metadata, one or more media items associated with the referenced are retrieved based on the metadata. The one or more media items associated with the referenced user experience are output together.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 23, 2023Publication date: February 15, 2024Inventors: Marcos Regis VESCOVI, Eric M.

Publication number: 20230195776Abstract: In some implementations, a computing device may create a semantic mapping that includes identified features that appear in a particular percentage of assets in a subset of assets of a media library. Also, the computing device may analyze assets of the media library using the semantic mapping to generate semantic scores, which may be used to determine a first tier of assets from the media library that rate highest for semantic score out of all assets. The computing device may present at least one of the first tier assets prominently in a user interface when viewing assets of the media library.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 9, 2023Publication date: June 22, 2023Applicant: Apple Inc.Inventors: Sabrine Rekik, Marcos Regis Vescovi, Eric Circlaeys
