A neural network system that is trained to identify one or more portions of a media title where synchronization errors are likely to be present. The neural network system is trained based on a first set of media titles where synchronization errors are present and a second set of media titles where synchronization errors are absent. The second set of media titles can be generated by introducing synchronization errors into a set of media titles that otherwise lack synchronization errors. Via training, the neural network system learns to identify specific visual features included in one or more video frames and corresponding audio features that should be played back in synchrony with the associated visual features. Accordingly, when presented with a media title that includes synchronization errors, the neural network can indicate the specific frames where synchronization errors are likely to be present.

Introduced here are approaches to dynamically verifying the identity of an individual and assessing the health of the individual through objective, algorithmic characterizations of voice features derived from audio recordings created by the individual. These voice features may be paralinguistic features, non-linguistic features, or linguistic features. By characterizing these voice features, insights can be gleaned into how events represented in the audio recordings should be emotionally characterized. For example, for each audio recording created by the individual, a health management platform may calculate a valence measure that is based on the voice features established for that audio recording. These valence measures can be documented, for example, in a profile maintained for the individual, such that changes in health can be detected in a more reliable, quantitative manner.

Implementations relate to an automated assistant that can determine whether to respond to inputs in an environment according to whether radar data indicates a user is present. When user presence is detected, the automated assistant can virtually segment the environment and apply certain operational parameters to certain segments of the environment. For instance, the automated assistant can enable an input detection feature, such as warm word detection, for a segmented portion of the environment in which a user is detected. In this way, false positives can be mitigated for instances in which environmental and/or user sounds are detected by the automated assistant but do not originate from a particular segment of the environment. Other parameters, such as varying confidence thresholds and/or speech processing biasing, can be temporarily enforced for different segments of an environment in which a user is detected.
