Personalized taxonomy to support a voice-based interface on a user device

Abstract

Techniques for enhancing functionalities of a voice-based user device are described. In an example a computer system generates, from a first taxonomy, a second taxonomy for a user based on an item purchase history. The computer system also identifies items based on this history and generates a list that associates the items with categories of the second taxonomy. Based on a user utterance, the computer system generates text-to-speech content from the list. This content includes category information and item information. The category information identifies a first category from the categories. The item information identifies a first item from the items, where this item is associated with the first category. The category information and the item information are presented to the user. The computer system adds an identifier of the first item to an item checkout process based on the presentation of the item information.
