US 11,238,242 B2 · Generating output for presentation in response to user interface input, where the input and/or the output include chatspeak

Abstract

Some implementations are directed to translating chatspeak to a normalized form, where the chatspeak is included in natural language input formulated by a user via a user interface input device of a computing device—such as input provided by the user to an automated assistant. The normalized form of the chatspeak may be utilized by the automated assistant in determining reply content that is responsive to the natural language input, and that reply content may be presented to the user via one or more user interface output devices of the computing device of the user. Some implementations are additionally and/or alternatively directed to providing, for presentation to a user, natural language output that includes chatspeak in lieu of a normalized form of the chatspeak, based at least in part on a “chatspeak measure” that is determined based on past usage of chatspeak by the user and/or by additional users.

Dependent claims

A method implemented by one or more processors, comprising:

determining a chatspeak measure for one or more users based on a plurality of messages contributed to message exchange threads by one or more of the users;
receiving natural language input submitted by a user of the users as part of an ongoing message exchange thread between at least the user and an automated assistant, the natural language input being formulated by the user via a user interface input device of a computing device of the user;
generating natural language output for inclusion in a response of the automated assistant to the natural language input, wherein generating the natural language output comprises incorporating one or more chatspeak terms into the natural language output based on the chatspeak measure;
and
incorporating the response of the automated assistant into the message exchange thread, the response including the natural language output with the one or more chatspeak terms.

2 more elements

A system, comprising:

memory storing instructions;
one or more processors executing the instructions stored in the memory to cause the one or more processors to:
determine a chatspeak measure for one or more users based on a plurality of messages contributed to message exchange threads by one or more of the users;
receive natural language input submitted by a user of the users as part of an ongoing message exchange thread between at least the user and an automated assistant, the natural language input being formulated by the user via a user interface input device of a computing device of the user;
generate natural language output for inclusion in a response of the automated assistant to the natural language input, wherein in generating the natural language output one or more of the processors are to incorporate one or more chatspeak terms into the natural language output based on the chatspeak measure;
and
incorporate the response of the automated assistant into the message exchange thread, the response including the natural language output with the one or more chatspeak terms.
