Patent number: 12147767Abstract: Implementations are described herein for recommending actions based on entity or entity type. In various implementations, a partial free-form natural language input may be received from a user at an input component of a computing device. The partial free-form natural language input may identify an entity without identifying a responsive action and may be directed by the user to an automated assistant that operates at least in part on the computing device. The partial free-form natural language input may be analyzed to identify the entity. Based on the identified entity, a plurality or superset of candidate responsive actions may be identified, filtered, and/or ranked based on one or more signals. The automated assistant may then provide output that recommends one or more of the candidate responsive actions based on the ranking and/or filtering.Type: GrantFiled: May 8, 2023Date of Patent: November 19, 2024Assignee: GOOGLE LLCInventors: Keun Soo Yim, Kyung Yul Lim, Umesh Patil

Patent number: 12141154Abstract: A method implements a dataset rank metric for measuring dataset relevance. Metadata is identified for a plurality of datasets. A graph structure is generated in storage. The graph structure includes a multitude of nodes connected by a multitude of edges. Each node of the multitude of nodes representing a respective dataset of a multitude of datasets, the multitude of edges connecting the multitude of nodes according to a data lineage determined from metadata of the multitude of datasets. A composite score is generated for each node of the graph. The computer processor iteratively processes the composite scores for the multitude of nodes of the graph to generate a dataset rank for each dataset. The multitude of datasets is presented in an interface, sorted according to the respective dataset rank of each dataset.Type: GrantFiled: November 30, 2022Date of Patent: November 12, 2024Assignee: Intuit Inc.Inventors: Sricharan Kallur Palli Kumar, Ashok N.

Patent number: 12119028Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention provide systems, methods, and computer storage media for identifying candidate boundaries for video segments, video segment selection using those boundaries, and text-based video editing of video segments selected via transcript interactions. In an example implementation, boundaries of detected sentences and words are extracted from a transcript, the boundaries are retimed into an adjacent speech gap to a location where voice or audio activity is a minimum, and the resulting boundaries are stored as candidate boundaries for video segments. As such, a transcript interface presents the transcript, interprets input selecting transcript text as an instruction to select a video segment with corresponding boundaries selected from the candidate boundaries, and interprets commands that are traditionally thought of as text-based operations (e.g., cut, copy, paste) as an instruction to perform a corresponding video editing operation using the selected video segment.Type: GrantFiled: October 17, 2022Date of Patent: October 15, 2024Assignee: ADOBE INC.Inventors: Xue Bai, Justin Jonathan Salamon, Aseem Omprakash Agarwala, Hijung Shin, Haoran Cai, Joel Richard Brandt, Lubomira Assenova Dontcheva, Cristin Ailidh Fraser
