20190378501 | SPEECH PROCESSING AND CONTEXT-BASED LANGUAGE PROMPTING - A computer system processes speech. Speech of a user is received from an audio sensor. An interruption in the speech of the user is determined and the speech of the user is analyzed to determine a context of the speech. One or more language data sources are analyzed to generate a suggestion corresponding to the interruption and based on the context of the speech. The suggestion is presented to the user. Embodiments of the present invention further include a method and program product for prompting a user in substantially the same manner described above. | 2019-12-12 |
20190378502 | CONFERENCE CALL ANALYSIS AND AUTOMATED INFORMATION EXCHANGE - Aspects analyze conference call audio wherein processors are configured to determine a main conversation of a conference call, distinguish a side conversation within the conference call from the main conversation, determine a question asked within the main conversation, and identify an occurrence of an answer to the question within the side conversation. | 2019-12-12 |
20190378503 | FILTERING AUDIO-BASED INTERFERENCE FROM VOICE COMMANDS USING NATURAL LANGUAGE PROCESSING - A computer-implemented method, according to one embodiment, includes: receiving a complex audio signal which includes an intended audio signal and at least one interfering audio signal. The complex audio signal is converted into text which represents a plurality of words included in the complex audio signal, and at least some of the text is identified as representing words which correspond to the at least one interfering audio signal. The identified text is discarded, and a remaining portion of the text is evaluated to determine whether the remaining portion of the text represents words which convey the voice-based command at an accuracy that is in a predetermined range. Furthermore, the remaining portion of the text is output in response to determining that the remaining portion of the text represents words which convey the voice-based command at an accuracy that is in the predetermined range. | 2019-12-12 |
20190378504 | COGNITIVE AGENT DISAMBIGUATION - A method, computer program product, and a system where a processor(s) continuously obtains, from devices in a group of devices within a defined geographic proximity to each other, processing requests. Each request is a result of a device in the group of devices receiving and interpreting a voice command issued within a geographic area comprising the group of devices. The processor(s) buffers, in a memory resource, a portion of the processing requests obtained within a defined time interval. The processor(s) determines there are duplicate processing requests in the portion. Based on determining there are duplicates, the processor(s) rejects the duplicates. The processor(s) selects a specific device to execute each processing request from the devices where the request and the duplicates of that request originated. The processor(s) utilize the specific device to execute the processing request. | 2019-12-12 |
20190378505 | INTERACTIVE VOICE-ACTIVATED BOT WITH VISUAL CUE - A method includes a voice-activated device stablishing a communication channel with a mobile device through a communication interface, receiving a voice command of a user to perform an action, determining, in response to the voice command, the action based at least in part on the voice command, and outputting an audible response corresponding to the determined action. During outputting of the audible response, visual data that includes a representation of the determined action is displayed on the mobile device. The user is enabled to validate or modify the visual data via a user interface of the mobile device. | 2019-12-12 |
20190378506 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR SYNTHESIZING ADAPTIVE DATA VISUALIZATIONS - A system to dynamically update presentations based on context classification of voice inputs, comprising: a storage device and a processor communicatively coupled to the storage device, wherein the processor executes application code instructions that are stored in the storage device to cause the system to: display a first graphical user interface associated with a first context via a user interface, obtain a first voice input, determine one or more first terms from the first voice input, determine that the first voice input is related to a first context based on the one or more first terms, and in response to determining that the first voice input is related to the first context: modify the first graphical user interface associated with the first context and display the modified first graphical user interface associated with the first context via the user interface. | 2019-12-12 |
