Abstract: In one implementation, a wireless communication device includes a first transceiver configured to generate a transmit signal and a band pass filter (BPF) select circuit configured to filter the transmit signal by a one of a first BPF with a relatively high-frequency passband or a second BPF with a relatively low-frequency passband. The wireless communication device includes a second transceiver configured to receive a received signal filtered by the other one of the first or second BPF. Having the transmit and received signals filtered by two different passband filters improves the isolation between the transmitter and receiver. Another implementation configures the first transceiver to include its own set of first and second BPFs, and the second transceiver to also include its own first and second BPFs.

Abstract: Techniques for recommending a skill experience to a user after a user-system dialog session has ended are described. Upon a dialog session ending, the system uses a first machine learning model to determine potential intents to recommend to a user. The system then uses a second machine learning model to determine a particular skill and intent to recommend. The system then prompts the user to accept the recommended skill and intent. If the user accepts, the system calls the recommended skill to execute. As part of calling the skill, the system sends to the skill at least one entity provided in a natural language user input of the ended dialog session. This enables the skill to skip welcome prompts, and initiate processing to output a response based on the intent and the at least one entity of the ended dialog session.
