Abstract: Systems and processes for operating an intelligent automated assistant are provided. An example method includes, at an electronic device having one or more processors and memory: receiving a natural language speech input; determining, based on the natural language speech input, a plurality of candidate intents; obtaining contextual data associated with the user device; ranking, based on the contextual data, the plurality of candidate intents using a machine learning model, wherein the machine learning model is pre-trained at least partially on the user device; determining a user intent based on the ranked candidate intents; and performing a task corresponding to the determined user intent.

Abstract: Systems and processes for call assistance using contact suggestions are provided. For example, a first input including a name reference is received from a user. A response to the first input is provided, and a second input is received from the user. An outgoing call event associated with a contact identifier is detected within a predetermined time from receiving the second input. In accordance with a determination that the outgoing call event satisfies a predetermined criterion, an association between the name reference and the contact identifier is stored.

Abstract: Systems and methods for clarifying a computer user's intent with regard to one or more query terms of a search query are presented. Often, one or more query terms of a search query are ambiguous and/or unclear. As presented herein, upon identifying a query term in the search query that is unclear, clarification data is obtained and presented to the computer user by way of a clarification user interface. The computer user is able to identify one or more aspects of the computer user's intent, intent clarifications, with regard to the query term through the clarification user interface. Upon instruction by the computer user, the search query, along with the intent clarifications, is submitted to a search engine and the search results obtained from the search engine are presented to the computer user.
