Abstract: A system for providing a personalized assistant within a network-based communication session includes a processor and a memory storage device storing instructions. The system determines when a first communication session participant joins the network-based communication session after a threshold duration of time subsequent to the start time of the session. Upon determining the first participant has joined, the system obtains content associated with the session and creates request data for a pre-trained generative language model. The request data includes an instruction requesting a predetermined number of suggested utterances not present in the content, each utterance relating to one or more topics corresponding to the content. The system transforms the request data to a command based on a command template and provides the command to the generative language model.

Abstract: A system for providing a personalized assistant within a network-based communication service includes one or more processors and a memory storage device storing instructions thereon. During a network-based communication session, the system receives a query from a computing device of a first communication session participant and processes the query by determining that a second communication session participant has shared content via a content sharing feature of the network-based communication service. In response, the system provides the query and at least a portion of the shared content as input to a model, which dynamically constructs a prompt for use as input with a generative language model. The system then presents the prompt as input to the generative language model, receives a response as output from the generative language model, and causes presentation of the response to be presented to the communication session participant.

Abstract: Methods for characterizing fluids from a patient. A time series of images of a conduit are received, and a conduit image region in the images is identified. The conduit image region may include a shallow section and/or a deep section. The shallow section includes a dimension of the conduit along an optical axis of the camera such that opacity of the fluids from redness associated with red blood cells or hemoglobin is limited to permit pixel color visualization in the images. The deep section includes a dimension is along the optical axis such that the redness provides a minimum opacity to permit the pixel color visualization. A concentration of a blood component of the fluids is determined based on the pixel color visualization. A volume of blood passing through the conduit is estimated based on the estimated concentration of the blood component and an estimated volumetric flow rate.

Sensors may be configured to capture data associated with the breath of an individual. The data captured by the sensors may include a change in resistance measurements recorded by solid-state sensors when the sensors are exposed to the individual's breath at several different temperatures.
