Abstract: A speech interface device is configured to receive response data from a remote speech processing system for responding to user speech. This response data may be enhanced with information such as remote NLU data. The response data from the remote speech processing system may be compared to local NLU data to improve a speech processing model on the device. Thus, the device may perform supervised on-device learning based on the remote NLU data. The device may determine differences between the updated speech processing model and an original speech processing model received from the remote system and may send data indicating these differences to the remote system. The remote system may aggregate data received from a plurality of devices and may generate an improved speech processing model.

Abstract: Exemplary embodiments relate to techniques for allowing a first user of a messaging platform to send follow-up message(s) to a second user after expiration of an allotted messaging time period without violating existing messaging policies based at least in part on opt-in messaging. The first user may perform an API call to an API of a messaging server to send a follow-up message request. Based on the request, the messaging server may send an opt-in message to the second user who may then explicitly opt in to receive a follow-up message from the first user. A qualifying response by the second user to the opt-in message may cause the messaging server to generate a unique token for the communicating pair. The first user may send the follow-up message to the second user by sending the message with the token.
