  • Interpreting spoken requests
    Patent number: 11423908
    Abstract: In an exemplary process for interpreting spoken requests, audio input containing a user utterance is received. In accordance with a determination that a text representation of the user utterance does not exactly match any of a plurality of user-defined invocation phrases, the process determines whether a comparison between the text representation and a user-defined invocation phrase of the plurality of user-defined invocation phrases satisfies one or more rule-based conditions. In accordance with a determination that the comparison between the text representation and the user-defined invocation phrase satisfies the one or more rule-based conditions, the text representation and the user-defined invocation phrase is processed using a machine-learned model to determine a score representing a degree of semantic equivalence between the text representation and the user-defined invocation phrase.

  • Techniques for selecting musical content for playback
    Patent number: 9299331
    Abstract: Techniques are described for automatically selecting musical content for playback based on an initial “seed” of music selected by a user in a way that seamlessly extends the user's listening experience. The initially selected seed music might be, for example, an album or a playlist. Music that follows the seed music is algorithmically selected to match the music selected by the user.
