Consolidation of disparate data source queries is provided. An application intake component can receive an application package file, and process the file to identify one or more actions and entities for the application. A natural language processor component can receive an input audio signal to identify an action and an entity on which to perform the action. An application delivery component can identify applications that can perform the action and applications that have access to the entity, and then select an application that is configured to perform the action on the entity. The application delivery component can provide an indication of the application selected by the system to a client device.

Methods, apparatus, systems and articles of manufacture are disclosed to identify media that has been pitch shifted, time shifted, and/or resampled. An example apparatus includes: memory; instructions in the apparatus; and processor circuitry to execute the instructions to: transmit a fingerprint of an audio signal and adjusting instructions to a central facility to facilitate a query, the adjusting instructions identifying at least one of a pitch shift, a time shift, or a resample ratio; obtain a response including an identifier for the audio signal and information corresponding to how the audio signal was adjusted; and change the adjusting instructions based on the information.

Implementations relate to techniques for providing context-dependent search results. The techniques can include receiving a query and background audio. The techniques can also include identifying the background audio, establishing concepts related to the background audio and obtaining terms related to the concepts related to the background audio. The techniques can also include obtaining search results based on the query and on at least one of the terms. The techniques can also include providing the search results.

Identifying activity in an area even during periods of poor visibility using a video camera and an audio sensor are disclosed. The video camera is used to identify visible events of interest and the audio sensor is used to capture audio occurring temporally with the identified visible events of interest. A sound profile is determined for each of the identified visible events of interest based on sounds captured by the audio sensor during the corresponding identified visible event of interest. Then, during a time of poor visibility, a subsequent sound event is identified in a subsequent audio stream captured by the audio sensor. One or more sound characteristics of the subsequent sound event are compared with the sound profiles associated with each of the identified visible events of interest, and if there is a match, one or more matching sound profiles are filtered out from the subsequent audio stream.

A method and system of audibly broadcasting responses to a user based on user queries about a specific patient report, the method comprising receiving an audible query from the user to a microphone coupled to a collaboration device, identifying at least one intent associated with the audible query, identifying at least one data operation associated with the at least one intent, associating each of the at least one data operations with a first set of data presented on the report, executing each of the at least one data operations on a second set of data to generate response data, generating an audible response file associated with the response data and providing the audible response file for broadcasting via a speaker coupled to the collaboration device.

A computer-implemented method of remotely influencing a performer at a live event is disclosed herein. The method, for example, can be implemented via a customer device including a display, a processor, and a memory configured to store an application that, when executed by the processor, causes the processor to perform the method. The method can include displaying a graphical user interface configured to receive user inputs, receiving a first user input including a user request for the performer to take a user-specified action during the live event, displaying terms and conditions associated with the user request, receiving a second user input including a user acceptance of the terms and conditions associated with the user request, and transmitting the user request to a performer device upon receiving the user acceptance of the terms and conditions associated with the user request.

Example techniques related to a sub-index of a media index. An example implementation may involve maintaining, on a mobile device, a first index of audio tracks associated with a particular user profile, the audio tracks indexed in the first index consisting of a particular subset of audio tracks that are indexed in a second index. Based on the receiving the input data indicating the search query, the mobile device searches, within the first index, for audio tracks corresponding to the search query. If the audio tracks corresponding to the search query are not found in the first index, the mobile device sends to one or more servers of the cloud service, a request to search the second index for audio tracks corresponding to the search query.

Methods, apparatus, systems and articles of manufacture are disclosed to identify media. An example method includes: in response to a query, generating an adjusted sample media fingerprint by applying an adjustment to a sample media fingerprint; comparing the adjusted sample media fingerprint to a reference media fingerprint; and in response to the adjusted sample media fingerprint matching the reference media fingerprint, transmitting information associated with the reference media fingerprint and the adjustment.
