Techniques for performing an action with respect to displayed content are described. A natural language interpretation corresponding to a received spoken user input may be determined. Prior to receiving the spoken user input, content may be displayed to the user from which the spoken user input was received. The natural language interpretation may represent a request to perform an action with respect to a portion of the content currently being displayed. Content identifiers corresponding to content being displayed, may be determined, and embedding data representing at least one feature of the content may be determined using the content identifiers. The natural language interpretation and the embedding data may be processed to determine that the spoken user input relates to a first portion of the displayed content instead of a second portion of the displayed content. Based on the determination, an action responsive to the spoken user input may be performed.

Natural language interactions using visual understanding

Devices and techniques are generally described for per-query prediction of shard relevance for search. In some examples, a search system may receive a first search query. A first score may be determined for a first database partition, the first score indicating a relevancy of the first search query to first data stored by the first database partition. Similarly, a second score may be determined for a second database partition, the second score indicating a relevancy of the first search query to second data stored by the second database partition. A determination may be made that the first search query is related to the first data stored by the first database partition. A determination may be made, based at least in part on the second score, that the first search query is unrelated to the second data stored by the second database partition.
