Abstract: Methods and systems are provided for generating a response to a natural language query. Specifically, the natural language query is received and a query template that corresponds to the natural language query is determined. One or more search results corresponding to the natural language query are retrieved. One or more attributes associated with a user are selected based on selection criteria. Based on those attributes, a response template previously assigned to the query template is identified. A response to the natural language query is generated based on the identified response template and the retrieved one or more search results.

Abstract: Methods and systems are described for a media guidance application that tailors media content recommendations for downloadable content to the current interests of the users. For example, the media guidance application may determine the current interests of a user based on the media content recently consumed by the friends of the user, and automatically download that media content. In such cases, the media guidance application may monitor social networks of the user for indications of media content that may have been recently consumed by the friends of a user as such media content is likely to be of current interest to the user. In response to detecting media content that was recently consumed by the friend of the user, the media guidance application may automatically download the media content to a device of the user.

Abstract: Systems and methods are described herein for updating links between keywords associated with a trending topic. Control circuitry may identify a plurality of communications associated with a plurality of users, the plurality of communications being related to a topic. The communications may comprise, for example, emails, text messages, online social media posts, websites or portions of a website, or any other online communication. The control circuitry may determine whether the topic is trending and increase a strength of association between a first symbol associated with the topic and a second symbol associated with the topic such that when a search query is received that includes the first symbol, search results related to the second symbol have a higher probability of being returned.

Abstract: Systems and methods are described to address shortcomings in a conventional conversation system via a novel technique utilizing artificial neural networks to train the conversation system whether or not to continue context. In some aspects, an interactive media guidance application determines a type of conversation continuity in a natural language conversation comprising first and second queries. The interactive media guidance application determines a first token in the first query and a second token in the second query. The interactive media guidance application identifies entity data for the first and second tokens. The interactive media guidance application retrieves, from a knowledge graph, graph connections between the entity data for the first and second tokens. The interactive media guidance application applies this data as inputs to an artificial neural network. The interactive media guidance application determines an output that indicates the type of conversation continuity between the first and second queries.

Abstract: Methods and systems are described for responding to natural language queries. Specifically a natural language query is received and a query template that corresponds to the natural language query is determined. One or more search results corresponding to the natural language query are retrieved. One or more attributes associated with the user equipment device are identified and based on those attributes a first response template associated with an audio-only response to the natural language query, a second response template associated with a visual-only response to the natural language query, or a third response template associated with an audio-visual response to the natural language query is selected. A response to the natural language query is generated based on the selected response template and the retrieved one or more search results.

Abstract: Systems and methods provided herein for a determining a meaning of an ambiguous term in a text segment based on a context term, a static knowledge graph and a temporal knowledge graph. These systems and methods access a first knowledge graph associated with the context term to determine a potential term that is the meaning of the unknown term. Upon determining that there are multiple potential terms in the first knowledge graph that could be the meaning of the unknown term, the systems and methods take into account the temporal dimension of relationships between entities for disambiguating the meaning of the unknown term. The systems and methods achieve this by determining a time stamp of the text segment and accessing a second knowledge graph associated with the first context term and related to the time stamp to determine the potential term that is the meaning of the first unknown term.

Abstract: Systems and methods for maintaining a model representing similarity between media assets. Control circuitry receives a first vector of values for a first media asset and a second vector of values for a second media asset. The control circuitry determines whether a user has viewed both the first and second media assets. In response to determining that the user has viewed both assets, the control circuitry determines a modeled similarity value representing modeled similarity between the first and second media assets. The control circuitry retrieves an observed similarity value representing observed similarity between the first and second media assets based on metadata and usage data for the assets. The control circuitry determines a modeling error value based on the modeled similarity value and the observed similarity value. The control circuitry updates the first vector of values and the second vector of values based on the modeling error value.

Abstract: In some aspects, control circuitry receives and stores a user-specified time duration to associate with a skip-forward command. When the user later issues a skip-forward command to advance playback of a media asset to a desired location, the control circuitry retrieves the stored time duration, and determines an expected overshoot value associated with the skip-forward command. The control circuitry then compensates for the expected overshoot by calculating a new location in the media asset based on both the retrieved time duration and expected overshoot value. Upon advancing to the new location, the media asset is played back in a fast-forward mode, e.g., at a speed higher than normal speed.

Abstract: Systems and methods for determining whether an ambiguous statement applies to a first query or second query. In some aspects, the system includes control circuitry that receives a first search query from a user. The control circuitry determines a syntactic mapping and contextual mapping of the first query. The control circuitry receives a second search query following the first search query. The control circuitry merges the queries. The control circuitry determines whether syntactic mappings for the second query and the portion of the merged query corresponding to the second query are equivalent. In response to determining that the second syntactic mapping and the portion of the third syntactic mapping are equivalent, the control circuitry selects a contextual mapping of the second or merged query based on user contextual information. The control circuitry determines a media asset from the media assets that is related to the first and second queries.
