  • Patent number: 11887006
    Abstract: Training and/or utilizing an interaction prediction model to generate a predicted interaction value that indicates a likelihood of interaction with a corresponding application on the basis of an electronic communication. The application can be in addition to any electronic communication application that is utilized in formulating the electronic communication and/or that is utilized in rendering the electronic communication. The predicted interaction value can be generated based on processing, utilizing the interaction prediction model, of features of the electronic communication and/or of other features. The predicted interaction value can be utilized to determine whether to perform further action(s) that interact with, and/or enable efficient interaction with, the application on the basis of the electronic communication.

  • Publication number: 20220335930
    Abstract: Techniques are described herein for selectively processing a user's utterances captured prior to and after an event that invokes an automated assistant to determine the user's intent and/or any parameters required for resolving the user's intent. In various implementations, respective measures of fitness for triggering responsive action by the automated assistant may be determined for pre-event and a post-event input streams. Based on the respective measures of fitness, one or both of the pre-event input stream or post-event input stream may be selected and used to cause the automated assistant to perform one or more responsive actions.

  • Publication number: 20190102458
    Abstract: In general, the subject matter described in this disclosure can be embodied in methods, systems, and program products. A computing device stores reference song characterization data and receives digital audio data. The computing device determines whether the digital audio data represents music and then performs a different process to recognize that the digital audio data represents a particular reference song. The computing device then outputs an indication of the particular reference song.

  • Publication number: 20190102144
    Abstract: In general, the subject matter described in this disclosure can be embodied in methods, systems, and program products for indicating a reference song. A computing device stores reference song characterization data that identifies a plurality of audio characteristics for each reference song in a plurality of reference songs. The computing device receives digital audio data that represents audio recorded by a microphone, converts the digital audio data from time-domain format into frequency-domain format, and uses the digital audio data in the frequency-domain format in a music-characterization process. In response to determining that characterization values for the digital audio data are most relevant to characterization values for a particular reference song, the computing device outputs an indication of the particular reference song.
