  • Publication number: 20240087562
    Abstract: Techniques for outputting interactive content and processing interactions with respect to the interactive content are described. While outputting requested content, a system may determine that interactive content is to be outputted. The system may determine output data including a first portion indicating that interactive content is going to be output and a second portion representing content corresponding to an item. The system may send the output data to the device. A user may interact with the output data, for example, by requesting performance of an action with respect to the item.

  • Publication number: 20240078223
    Abstract: Methods and apparatus to estimate cardinality of users represented across multiple bloom filter arrays are disclosed. Examples includes processor circuitry to execute and/or instantiate instructions to generate a first composite Bloom filter array based on first and second Bloom filter arrays. The processor circuitry is to generate a final composite Bloom filter array based on the first composite Bloom filter array and a third Bloom filter array. Different ones of the first, second, and third Bloom filter arrays representative of different sets of users who accessed media. The first, second, and third Bloom filter arrays including differential privacy noise. The processor circuitry to estimate a cardinality of a union of the first, second, and third Bloom filter arrays based on the final composite Bloom filter array.

  • Publication number: 20230377574
    Abstract: Techniques for altering default language, in system outputs, with language included in system inputs are described. A system may determine a word(s) in user inputs, associated with a particular user identifier, correspond to but are not identical to a word(s) in system outputs. The system may store an association between the user identifier, the word(s) in the user inputs, and the word(s) in the system outputs. Thereafter, when the system is generates a response to a user input, the system may replace the word(s), traditionally in the system outputs, with the word(s) that was present in previous user inputs. Such processing may further be tailored to a natural language intent.
