Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed for magnetoresistive asymmetry (MRA) compensation using a digital compensation scheme. In certain embodiments, a method may comprise receiving an analog signal at a continuous-time front end (CTFE) circuit, and performing analog offset compensation to constrain an extremum of the analog signal to adjust a dynamic range based on an input range of an analog-to-digital converter (ADC), rather than to modify the analog signal to have a zero mean. The method may further comprise converting the analog signal to a digital sample sequence via the ADC; performing, via a digital MRA compensation circuit, digital MRA compensation on the digital sample sequence; receiving, via a digital backend (DBE) subsystem, the digital sample sequence prior to digital MRA compensation; and generating, via a DBE, a bit sequence corresponding to the analog signal based on an output of the DBE subsystem and an output of the digital MRA compensation circuit.

Abstract: Implementations set forth relate to suggesting an alternate interface modality when an automated assistant and/or a user is expected to not understand a particular interaction between the user and the automated assistant. In some instances, the automated assistant can pre-emptively determine that a forthcoming and/or ongoing interaction between a user and an automated assistant may experience interference. Based on this determination, the automated assistant can provide an indication that the interaction may not be successful and/or that the user should interact with the automated assistant through a different modality. For example, the automated assistant can render a keyboard interface at a portable computing device when the automated assistant determines that an audio interface of the portable computing device is experiencing interference.
