Abstract: A method includes receiving user queries directed toward a cloud-based assistant service. For each received user query directed toward the cloud-based assistant service, the method also includes extracting one or more attributes from the user query and logging the user query into one or more of a plurality of category buckets based on the one or more attributes extracted from the user query. The method also includes determining when at least one of the plurality of category buckets includes a threshold number of the user queries logged into the at least one category bucket, and when the at least one of the plurality of category buckets includes the threshold number of the user queries, generating a distilled model of the cloud-based assistant service. The distilled model of the cloud-based assistant service is configured to execute on one or more target client devices.

Abstract: A vehicle door control system includes a door assembly, which includes a side door and a liftgate. The door assembly includes an actuation assembly that adjusts each of the side door and the liftgate between opened and closed positions. A sensor assembly defines a rear sensor field, a first side sensor field, and a second side sensor field. A controller determines whether a person in at least one of the rear sensor field, the first side sensor field, and the second side sensor field is a recognized passenger, determines a speed of the recognized passenger, determines whether the recognized passenger is carrying an object, and activates the actuation assembly to open at least one of the liftgate and the side door based on whether the recognized passenger is carrying an object, where timing of activation of the actuation assembly is based on the speed of the recognized passenger.
