Patent number: 11158321Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on a computer storage medium, for an automated calling system are disclosed. In one aspect, a method includes the actions of receiving audio data of an utterance spoken by a user who is having a telephone conversation with a bot. The actions further include determining a context of the telephone conversation. The actions further include determining a user intent of a first previous portion of the telephone conversation spoken by the user and a bot intent of a second previous portion of the telephone conversation outputted by a speech synthesizer of the bot. The actions further include, based on the audio data of the utterance, the context of the telephone conversation, the user intent, and the bot intent, generating synthesized speech of a reply by the bot to the utterance. The actions further include, providing, for output, the synthesized speech.Type: GrantFiled: September 24, 2019Date of Patent: October 26, 2021Assignee: GOOGLE LLCInventors: Asaf Aharoni, Arun Narayanan, Nir Shabat, Parisa Haghani, Galen Tsai Chuang, Yaniv Leviathan, Neeraj Gaur, Pedro J.

Patent number: 10560575Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on a computer storage medium, relating to synthetic call initiations and bailouts. In some implementations, a method includes analyzing, by a call initiating system, a real-time conversation between a first human and the bot during a phone call between the first human on a first end of the phone call and the bot on a second end of the phone call. The call initiating system can determine, based on the analysis of the real-time conversation, whether the phone call should be transitioned from the bot to a second human on the second end of the phone call. In response to determining that the phone call should be transitioned to a second human on the second end of the phone call, the call initiating system transitions the phone call from the bot to the second human.Type: GrantFiled: June 13, 2017Date of Patent: February 11, 2020Assignee: Google LLCInventors: Eyal Segalis, Daniel Walevski, Yaniv Leviathan, Yossi Matias

Patent number: 10534810Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed for enriching a knowledge base for search queries. According to certain embodiments, images are assigned annotations that identify entities contained in the images. An object entity is selected among the entities based on the annotations and at least one attribute entity is determined using annotated images containing the object entity. A relationship between the object entity and the at least one attribute entity is inferred and stored in the knowledge base. In some embodiments, confidence may be calculated for the entities. The confidence scores may be aggregated across a plurality of images to identify an object entity.Type: GrantFiled: February 29, 2016Date of Patent: January 14, 2020Assignee: GOOGLE LLCInventors: Ran El Manor, Yaniv Leviathan
