Abstract
Techniques for user-adaptive volume selection are disclosed. A system receives audio input that includes a user request to a virtual assistant. The system determines one or more sound characteristics corresponding to the audio input, and applies the sound characteristic(s) to a volume selection model. The volume selection model selects a volume level based on the sound characteristic(s). The system plays an audio response to the user's request at the selected volume level. Subsequently, the system receives user input to modify output volume to a different volume level. Based on the user input, the system calibrates the volume selection model. When the system receives another audio input, the system analyzes the other audio input to determine one or more sound characteristics of the other audio input. The system uses the calibrated volume selection model to select a volume level for an audio response to the other audio input.
