  • Patent number: 12130850
    Abstract: Techniques and systems are described for performing semantic text searches. A semantic text-searching solution uses a machine learning system (such as a deep learning system) to determine associations between the semantic meanings of words. These associations are not limited by the spelling, syntax, grammar, or even definition of words. Instead, the associations can be based on the context in which characters, words, and/or phrases are used in relation to one another. In response to detecting a request to locate text within an electronic document associated with a keyword, the semantic text-searching solution can return strings within the document that have matching and/or related semantic meanings or contexts, in addition to exact matches (e.g., string matches) within the document. The semantic text-searching solution can then output an indication of the matching strings.

  • Patent number: 12093846
    Abstract: A system that manages a dialog between a user and an AI system using a hierarchically structured tree of topics. An illustrative application is collection of a personal history. A topic manager repeatedly selects a topic and requests the AI system to generate a question based on summary information stored in the associated topic node; this avoids sending the entire dialog to the AI system each time, which would be impossible for long conversations due to AI context window limitations. The AI system analyzes each response from the user to identify new topics to add to the tree, and to update the summary associated with each topic node. Vector embeddings of topic names may be used to place new topic nodes in the most relevant position in the tree. Topics may be selected using a biased tree walk that preferentially selects nodes that have been less explored in previous questions.

  • Patent number: 12086565
    Abstract: Mechanisms for implementing a text encoder and text encoder operations are provided. A contrastive machine learning training operation trains an encoder of a machine learning computer model, to learn a sense and similarity preserving embedding that operates to encode input natural language text data to generate encoded natural language text data based on a sense attribute of one or more terms in the input natural language text data. The contrastive machine learning training operation learns to separate positive samples in training data from negative samples in the training data. The trained encoder processes a term specified in an input natural language text to generate an encoded natural language text based on the learned embedding and inputs, to a downstream computing system, the encoded natural language text to cause the downstream computing system to perform a computer natural language processing operation based on the embedding.

  • Patent number: 12087320
    Abstract: A system may be configured to detect custom acoustic events, where the system generates an acoustic event profile for the custom acoustic event based on a natural language description provided by a user and using an audio sample of the described acoustic event. For example, the user may describe the custom acoustic event as “dog bark.” The system may ask the user questions to refine the description (e.g., dog breed, dog gender, age, etc.). Using an audio sample of the refined description, the system may then determine that audio captured in the user's environment is a potential sample of the custom acoustic event. Such captured audio may be presented to the user for confirmation, and then may be used to detect future occurrences of the custom acoustic event in the user's environment.

  • Patent number: 12087300
    Abstract: Implementations set forth herein relate to employing dynamic regulations for governing responsiveness of multiple automated assistant devices, and specifically the responsiveness an automated assistant to a given spoken utterance that has been acknowledged by two or more of the assistant devices. The dynamic regulations can be context-dependent and adapted over time in order that the automated assistant can accommodate assistant interaction preferences that may vary from user to user. For instance, a spoken utterance such as “stop,” may be intended to affect different assistant actions based on a context in which the user provided the spoken utterance. The context can refer to a location of the user relative to other rooms in a home, a time of day, a user providing the spoken utterance, an arrangement of the assistant devices within a home, and/or a state of each device in the home.

  • Patent number: 12075104
    Abstract: In various embodiments, a bootstrapping training subsystem performs sampling operation(s) on a training database that includes subjective scores to generate resampled dataset. For each resampled dataset, the bootstrapping training subsystem performs machine learning operation(s) to generate a different bootstrap perceptual quality model. The bootstrapping training subsystem then uses the bootstrap perceptual quality models to quantify the accuracy of a perceptual quality score generated by a baseline perceptual quality model for a portion of encoded video content. Advantageously, relative to prior art solutions in which the accuracy of a perceptual quality score is unknown, the bootstrap perceptual quality models enable developers and software applications to draw more valid conclusions and/or more reliably optimize encoding operations based on the perceptual quality score.
