  • HOT-WORD FREE ADAPTATION OF AUTOMATED ASSISTANT FUNCTION(S)
    Publication number: 20230253009
    Abstract: Hot-word free adaptation of one or more function(s) of an automated assistant. Sensor data, from one or more sensor components of an assistant device that provides an automated assistant interface (graphical and/or audible), is processed to determine occurrence and/or confidence metric(s) of various attributes of a user that is proximal to the assistant device. Whether to adapt each of one or more of the function(s) of the automated assistant is based on the occurrence and/or the confidence of one or more of the various attributes. For example, certain processing of at least some of the sensor data can be initiated, such as initiating previously dormant local processing of at least some of the sensor data and/or initiating transmission of at least some of the audio data to remote automated assistant component(s).

  • MITIGATING FALSE POSITIVES AND/OR FALSE NEGATIVES IN HOT WORD FREE ADAPTATION OF AUTOMATED ASSISTANT
    Publication number: 20230230583
    Abstract: Hot word free adaptation, of one or more function(s) of an automated assistant, responsive to determining, based on gaze measure(s) and/or active speech measure(s), that a user is engaging with the automated assistant. Implementations relate to various techniques for mitigating false positive occurrences of and/or false negative occurrences, of hot word free adaptation, through utilization of personalized parameter(s) for at least some user(s) of an assistant device. The personalized parameter(s) are utilized in determining whether condition(s) are satisfied, where those condition(s), if satisfied, indicate that the user is engaging in hot word free interaction with the automated assistant and result in adaptation of function(s) of the automated assistant.
