Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on a computer storage medium, for a content platform that receives a request to provide a digital component. The request includes information about users to which the digital component is directed. Futurized queries are obtained from serving logs of a serving system that is configured to execute an existing digital component using serving code that directs digital content to the set of users. The futurized queries are loaded as data structures in memory of a forecasting system. The system uses an instruction set derived from the serving code to determine that similarity between the particular futurized query and the request exceeds a threshold similarity. The system then generates a forecast output as a response to the request based on futurized queries that exceed the threshold similarity. The forecast output includes data describing future provision of the digital component.

Abstract: Users' interaction performance with an automated voice system is improved, as is users' efficiency, by visually displaying options audibly presented by the automated voice system, thereby enabling users to interact with the system more quickly and accurately. Options can be obtained from a centralized audible menu database with the communicational identifier utilized to establish a communication connection with the automated voice system. The database is populated from crowdsourced information, provided when users establish communicational connections with portions of automated voice systems whose options have not yet been stored in the database, and then transcribe the options that are audibly presented by the automated voice system. Transcription of audibly presented options likewise serves as a double check to verify options already displayed.
