Abstract
Techniques enable an automatic adjustment of a muted response setting of an automated assistant based on a determination of an expectation by a user to hear an audible response to their query, despite the muted setting. Determination of the expectation may be based on historical, empirical data uploaded from multiple users over time for a given response scenario. For example, the system may determine from the historical data that a certain type of query has been associated with a user both repeating their query and increasing a response volume setting within a given timeframe. Metrics may be generated, stored, and invoked in response to attributes associated with identifiable types of queries and query scenarios. Automated response characteristics meant to reduce inefficiencies may be associated with certain queries that can otherwise collectively burden network bandwidth and processing resources.
