Publication number: 20210383809Abstract: Methods, apparatus, and computer readable media are described related to automated assistants that proactively incorporate, into human-to-computer dialog sessions, unsolicited content of potential interest to a user. In various implementations, based on content of an existing human-to-computer dialog session between a user and an automated assistant, an entity mentioned by the user or automated assistant may be identified. Fact(s)s related to the entity or to another entity that is related to the entity may be identified based on entity data contained in database(s). For each of the fact(s), a corresponding measure of potential interest to the user may be determined. Unsolicited natural language content may then be generated that includes one or more of the facts selected based on the corresponding measure(s) of potential interest. The automated assistant may then incorporate the unsolicited content into the existing human-to-computer dialog session or a subsequent human-to-computer dialog session.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 25, 2021Publication date: December 9, 2021Inventors: Vladimir Vuskovic, Stephan Wenger, Zineb Ait Bahajji, Martin Baeuml, Alexandru Dovlecel, Gleb Skobeltsyn

Patent number: 10026398Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on a computer storage medium, for predicting follow-up queries to an initial transcription of an utterance. In some implementations, one or more follow-up queries that are pre-associated with a transcription of an initial utterance of a user are identified. A new or modified language model in which a respective probability associated with one or more of the follow-up queries is increased with respect to an initial language model is obtained. Subsequent audio data corresponding to a subsequent utterance of the user is then received. The subsequent audio data is processed using the new or modified language model to generate a transcription of the subsequent utterance. The transcription of the subsequent utterance is then provided for output to the user.Type: GrantFiled: July 8, 2016Date of Patent: July 17, 2018Assignee: Google LLCInventors: Behshad Behzadi, Dmitry Osmakov, Martin Baeuml, Gleb Skobeltsyn

Patent number: 6824607Abstract: The invention relates to a novel cement-bound material with a mineral binding agent, a mineral filler and/or mineral aggregates. Said cement-bound material has a proportion of a mass hydrophobing agent comprised of stearates, siliconates, silanes or siloxanes ranging from 0.5 to 20 wt. % with regard to the weight of the mineral binding agent. The cement-bound material also has a proportion of a corrosion inhibitor, which is capable of migrating and which is comprised of nitrites, benzoates, amio alcohols or of sodium monofluorophosphates ranging from 01. to 20 kg per m3 of the active substance, and/or has a proportion of flexible fibers.Type: GrantFiled: November 25, 2002Date of Patent: November 30, 2004Inventors: Martin Baeuml, Giovanni Martinola
