Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on a computer storage medium, for a search engine to provide an entity some indication of topics in which a user may have an interest. The methods, systems, and apparatus include actions of receiving information at a search engine from a classifier indicating that a user is likely interested in a set of topics based on information about the user provided by the search engine to the classifier. Additional actions may include selecting a subset of the topics and generating a search results page that includes one or more references for one or more resources that are responsive to a search query. At least one reference of the one or more references may include information based on the received information that indicates that the user is likely interested in the subset of topics.

Adapting third party applications

Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on computer storage media, for recognizing speech using neural networks. One of the methods includes receiving an audio input; processing the audio input using an acoustic model to generate a respective phoneme score for each of a plurality of phoneme labels; processing one or more of the phoneme scores using an inverse pronunciation model to generate a respective grapheme score for each of a plurality of grapheme labels; and processing one or more of the grapheme scores using a language model to generate a respective text label score for each of a plurality of text labels.

Recognizing speech using neural networks

A new database design is implemented in which everything in the database is modeled with primitives, including the links and nodes for a graph tuple store. A query syntax provides a nested tree of constraints with a single global schema. Various optimization techniques for queries and replication techniques are also described.
