    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.

    Abstract: Methods and systems for identifying a meaning of an ambiguous term in a natural language query. The media guidance application isolates first and second terms from a query received from a user and identifies, in a knowledge graph, first and second pluralities of candidate components associated with the first and second terms. The first and second terms each having multiple candidate components indicates the first and second terms have ambiguous meanings. The media guidance application matches each candidate component of the first and second pluralities of candidate components to form a plurality of pairs and determines strength of association for each pair in the plurality of pairs. The media guidance application filters the plurality of pairs by strength of association for each pair and determines a plurality of possible meanings based on the filtered plurality of pairs. The media guidance application selects a meaning from the plurality of possible meanings.

    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: The systems and methods disclosed herein combine a plurality of interpretations of a voice-based input. The systems and methods may receive the voice-based input, process it using one or more automatic speech recognition modules to obtain a plurality of interpretations, and identify an entity set for each of the plurality of interpretations. The systems and methods may further generate a combined interpretation based on a first interpretation and second interpretation selected form the plurality of interpretations and assign a semantic score to the combined interpretation based on the entity sets of the first and second interpretation.

    Abstract: The systems and methods discloses herein determine whether to merge search queries used to identify a media asset among a plurality of media assets. A first identifier may be assigned to a first search query from a user. The systems and methods may further determine a plurality of identifiers based on a mapping that associates the first identifier with the plurality of identifiers, wherein each of the plurality of identifiers corresponds to a search query that has previously been merged by the user with the first search query to perform a search. A second identifier may then be assigned to a second search query, and it may be determined whether to merge the first search query and the second search query based on whether the second identifier is among the plurality of identifiers. A search of the plurality of media assets may then be performed based on the determination.
