Abstract: Devices and techniques are generally described for adaptive targeting for voice notifications. In various examples, first data representing a predicted likelihood that a first user will interact with first content within a predefined amount of time may be received. A first set of features including features related to past voice notifications sent to the first user may be determined. A second set of features including features related to interaction with the first content when past voice notifications were sent may be received. A first machine learning model may generate a prediction that a voice notification will increase a probability that the first user interacts with the first content based on the first data, the first set of features, and the second set of features. Audio data comprising the voice notification may be sent to a first device associated with the first content.

Abstract: Systems and methods are described for mitigating errors introduced during processing of user input such as voice input. A query may be derived from processed user input. A performance predictor analyzes the query and uses historical data to predict whether the query will return relevant results if executed. If the query's predicted performance is below a threshold, a query rewriter may identify potential alternatives to the query from a library of “known good” queries. Different analyzers may be applied to identify different sets of alternatives, and machine learning models may be applied to rank the outputs of the analyzers. The best-matching alternatives from each analyzer may then be provided as inputs to a further machine learning model, which assesses the probability that each of the identified alternatives reflects the intent of the user. A most likely alternative may then be selected to execute in place of the original query.
