  • Publication number: 20230230587
    Abstract: Hot word free adaptation, of 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 techniques for mitigating false positive occurrences of and/or false negative occurrences, of hot word free adaptation, through utilization of a permissive parameter set in some situation(s) and a restrictive parameter set in other situation(s). For example, utilizing the restrictive parameter set when it is determined that a user is engaged in conversation with additional user(s). The permissive parameter set includes permissive parameter(s) that are more permissive than counterpart(s) in the restrictive parameter set.

  • 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.
