In one embodiment, a method includes, by one or more computing systems, receiving, from a client system via an assistant xbot, a first audio input from a user, parsing the first audio input to identify a request for a content digest from an online social network, retrieving a plurality of content objects from the online social network, each of the content objects being accessible by the user, generating a customized newsfeed summary based on a determined semantical meaning of each of the plurality of content objects, and sending, to the client system via the assistant xbot, instructions for presenting an audio clip to the user responsive to the request for the content digest, wherein the audio clip comprises the customized newsfeed summary.

Content suggestions for content digests for assistant systems

A method, an electronic device, and computer readable medium is provided. The method includes identifying a set of observable features associated with one or more users. The method also includes generating latent features from the set of observable features. The method additionally includes sorting the latent features into one or more clusters. Each of the one or more clusters represents verbal utterances of a group of users that share a portion of the latent features. The method further includes generating a language model that corresponds to a specific cluster of the one or more clusters. The language model represents a probability ranking of the verbal utterances that are associated with the group of users of the specific cluster.

System and method for language model personalization

In one embodiment, a method includes, by one or more computing systems, receiving a request from a user for a content digest from an online social network, retrieving one or more content objects associated with the online social network that are accessible by the user, determining a semantical-embedding for each retrieved content object based on a query model, determining one or more categories for each retrieved content object, generating a set of content suggestions for each retrieved content object based on the one or more categories associated with the content object and the semantical-embedding of the content object, ranking for each retrieved content object, the one or more content suggestions in the respective set based on a comparison of a semantical-embedding associated with each content suggestion to the semantical-embedding of the content object, and sending instructions for presenting the content digest to the user.

In one embodiment, a method includes receiving, from a client system via an assistant xbot of a messaging application, a first user input comprising a command for controlling a network-connected device, wherein the device is associated with a contact identifier (ID) in the messaging application, identifying the device based on the contact ID, generating one or more control instructions for the device based on the command, sending, to the device via a network, the control instructions to cause the device to perform one or more actions associated with the command, receiving, from the device via the network, a response to the command, and sending, to the client system via the assistant xbot, an output based on the response from the device. The first user input may include a character string that specifies the command or an indication of a selected user interface feature that corresponds to the command.

Message-based device interactions for assistant systems

A method and apparatus for performing design verification is described. In one embodiment, a method for performing design verification includes specifying at least one object that represents at least one signal as a symbol in a design using a first command and instructing a symbolic simulator with the first command to treat the at least one object as a symbol.
