IPC Code(s): A63F13/424, G06F40/30, A63F13/422
Abstract: program code representing a semantic natural language processing (nlp) machine learning (ml) algorithm is stored in a memory. a processor executes the semantic nlp ml algorithm to generate initial scores that represent a degree of matching between candidate responses and an input phrase provided by a user during execution of program code. the processor also modifies one or more of the initial scores using one or more rules that associate a first phrase with a second phrase. the one or more rules are selected to modify the initial scores based on semantic similarity of the user input phrase and the first phrase determined by the semantic nlp ml algorithm and the semantic similarity of the response phrase with a corresponding candidate response. execution of the program code is modified based on the modified initial scores. in some cases, the semantic nlp ml algorithm is used to implement a video game.

Abstract: labels are often over labeled by machine-learning models and under labeled by human labelers. a solution to the over and under labeling problem is to have both a machine-learning model and a human label a document, then send the document to a parser to determine the discrepancies. the discrepancies are then presented to a human to review and decide whether the machine-learning model identified labels are labels. the feedback is then given to the machine-learning model for further improvement in its confidence calculations which via a confidence threshold determine if the identified labels are presented.

IPC Code(s): G10L15/24, G06N3/04, G06F3/01, G10L15/16, G06F18/25
Abstract: techniques are described herein for detecting and/or enrolling (or commissioning) new “hot commands” that are useable to cause an automated assistant to perform responsive action(s) without having to be first explicitly invoked. in various implementations, an automated assistant may be transitioned from a limited listening state into a full speech recognition state in response to a trigger event. while in the full speech recognition state, the automated assistant may receive and perform speech recognition processing on a spoken command from a user to generate a textual command. the textual command may be determined to satisfy a frequency threshold in a corpus of textual commands. consequently, data indicative of the textual command may be enrolled as a hot command. subsequent utterance of another textual command that is semantically consistent with the textual command may trigger performance of a responsive action by the automated assistant, without requiring explicit invocation.
