Abstract: Described herein is a system for responding to a frustrated user with a response determined based on spoken language understanding (SLU) processing of a user input. The system detects user frustration and responds to a repeated user input by confirming an action to be performed or presenting an alternative action, instead of performing the action responsive to the user input. The system also detects poor audio quality of the captured user input, and responds by requesting the user to repeat the user input. The system processes sentiment data and signal quality data to respond to user inputs.

Abstract: There is provided a method, system, and non-transitory computer-readable storage medium for controlling the exposure settings of an rolling shutter image sensor device with global reset. This is achieved by obtaining a first image captured by the image sensor device at a current exposure setting that comprises a partial readout parameter representing a number image parts for partial readout by the image sensor device; determining an intensity value of the first image, comparing the intensity value of the first image to a desired intensity value. If the intensity values differ more than an allowed deviation, an updated number of image parts for partial readout is determined based on the current number of image parts and the intensity value of the first image. Thereafter, the current exposure setting is updated by setting the value of the partial readout parameter to the updated number of image parts.
