Various embodiments discussed herein enable client applications to be heavily integrated with a voice assistant in order to both perform commands associated with voice utterances of users via voice assistant functionality and also seamlessly cause client applications to automatically perform native functions as part of executing the voice utterance. For example, some embodiments can automatically and intelligently cause a switch to a page the user needs and automatically and intelligently cause a population of particular fields of the page the user needs based on a user view context and the voice utterance.

Voice assistant-enabled client application with user view context

Various embodiments discussed herein enable client applications to be heavily integrated with a voice assistant in order to perform commands associated with voice utterances of users via voice assistant functionality and also seamlessly cause client applications to automatically perform native functions as part of executing the voice utterance. Such heavy integration also allows particular embodiments to support multi-modal input from a user for a single conversational interaction. In this way, client application user interface interactions, such as clicks, touch gestures, or text inputs are executed alternative or in addition to the voice utterances.

Methods, systems, and media are provided for facilitating generation of an inference index. In embodiments, a canonical entity is referenced. The canonical entity is associated with web documents. One or more queries that, when input, result in a selection of at least one of the web documents are identified. An entity document is generated for the canonical entity. The entity document includes the identified queries and/or associated text from the content of a document or from an entity title that result in the selection of the at least one of the web documents. The entity document and corresponding canonical entity can be combined with additional related entity documents and canonical entities to generate an inference index.

A rider propelled vehicle, particularly designed for use by children as a toy, includes an outer-large diameter wheel having a seat frame located within its periphery. The frame is operatively connected to the outer wheel at two spaced points by an arrangement which permits the outer wheel to move through the frame and rotate about its own central axis. The seat frame includes a foot drive mechanism operatively engaged with the outer wheel forwardly of the center of rotation of the outer wheel for rotating the outer wheel upon operation of a foot pedal by a person on the seat frame. A pair of laterally spaced ground engageable steering wheels are rotatably mounted on the frame on opposite sides of the outer wheel rearwardly of the center of gravity of the frame and of the center of rotation of the outer wheel, thereby to resist undriven rearward rolling of the outer wheel and to permit the rider to steer the vehicle.
