A request including audio data is received from a voice-enabled device. A string of phonemes present in the utterance is determined through speech recognition. At a later time, a subsequent user input corresponding to the request may be received, in which the user input is associated with one or more text keywords. The subsequent user input may be obtained in response to an active request. Alternatively, feedback may not be actively elicited, but rather collected passively. However it is obtained, the one or more keywords associated with the subsequent user input may be associated with the string of phonemes to indicate that the user is saying or mean those words when they product that string of phonemes. A user-specific speech recognition key for the user account is then updated to associate the string of phonemes with these words. A general speech recognition model can also be trained using the association.

Speech recognition through disambiguation feedback

In various embodiments, a voice command is associated with a plurality of processing steps to be performed. The plurality of processing steps may include analysis of audio data using automatic speech recognition, generating and selecting a search query from the utterance text, and conducting a search of database of items using a search query. The plurality of processing steps may include additional or different steps, depending on the type of the request. In performing one or more of these processing steps, an error or ambiguity may be detected. An error or ambiguity may either halt the processing step or create more than one path of actions. A model may be used to determine if and how to request additional user input to attempt to resolve the error or ambiguity. The voice-enabled device or a second client device is then causing to output a request for the additional user input.

Triggering voice control disambiguation

Techniques for natural language searches are described. In an example, a computer system receives a search associated with a computing device. Based on the search, the computer system determines first search results from a first data source and associated with a first type and second search results from a second data source and associated with a type. The computer system also determines a context associated with at least one of the computing device or a user. Based on the context, the computer system generates instructions associated with a presentation of the first search results and the second search results at a user interface of the computing device. The instructions indicate a first presentation order of the first search results and the second search results and a second presentation order of search results within the first search results. The computer system sends the instructions to the computing device.

Context-based natural language searches

This disclosure describes methods, apparatuses, and systems for providing visualizations of workflows. Data associated with successes and failures of individual components of workflows can be collected and aggregated to provide an overview of the operation of workflows, as well as allowing a software developer to troubleshoot operations of the workflow. Status indications of steps can be visualized in a graphical user interface (GUI), for example, and faults can be identified and presented in the GUI. By aggregating workflow data across hundreds, thousands, or even millions of workflows, a user can quickly determine the overall operations of the workflow, as well as areas of the workflow that may need improvement.

Process visualization platform

Multiple instances of a computer system subscribe to a central data storage system. The central data storage system receives a set of entities that the instances wish to synchronize with one another, along with a schema representing those entities, from each instance. The central data storage system receives changes to the identified entities from the various instances, identifies conflicts, and synchronizes changes from a given instance to the other subscribing instances.

Master data management

An integrated system for seamless code development using Application Development Environments (ADEs) for Enterprise Management Application (EMA) environments utilizing EMA repositories is provided. Projects are stored in the EMA repository and EMA components and other repository based projects made aware of each other. The repository based projects may be shipped as part of the respository and automatically deployed from the repository.

Repository based development using project development tools in enterprise management environment

Concepts and technologies are described herein for providing metadata-based eventing supporting operations on data. Application data such as classes and events can be stored in a table and can be associated with and/or described by application metadata. The application metadata also can specify one or more event handlers that reference one or more methods on a class. The event handlers can be invoked via various delegates linked to the one or more application metadata tables. When a create, update, or delete operation on the application data is received, the application metadata can be queried to determine if the application metadata describes event handlers associated with the application data. If event handlers associated with the application data exist, the event handlers can be invoked.

Metadata-based eventing supporting operations on data

The location of a drawing of an activity, a property of an element in the drawing and the structural relationship of elements in the drawing are stored in a database. The database is accessed to form a user interface that provides a hierarchical representation of activities and the elements within activities.
