Methodology for Enhanced Voice Search Experience

摘要

Arrangements are described for reducing response latency in intelligent personal assistant applications. While receiving a user request, preemptive responses are automatically prepared for a received portion of the user request. Partial classification word candidates are generated for words in the received portion of the user request, and then a predictive component is applied to generate extended classification word candidates that include the partial classification word candidates and additional classification word candidates. A preliminary search is performed of the extended classification word candidates to prepare the preemptive responses. While the input request continues, the preemptive responses are updated, and when the input request ends, the prepared preemptive responses are used to respond to the user request.

主权项

1. A method for an intelligent personal assistant application using at least one hardware implemented computer processor to respond to a user request containing a plurality of words, the method comprising:
while receiving the user request:
automatically preparing preemptive responses for a received portion of the user request based on:
i. generating one or more partial classification word candidates for words in the received portion of the user request,ii. applying a predictive component to the partial classification word candidates to generate one or more extended classification word candidates that include the partial classification word candidates and additional classification word candidates, andiii. performing a preliminary search of the extended classification word candidates to prepare the preemptive responses; andwhile the input request continues, continuing the preemptive response preparing and updating the preemptive responses; and when the input request ends, using the prepared preemptive responses to respond to the user request.
