    Abstract: Systems and processes for operating a digital assistant are provided. An example process for performing a task includes, at an electronic device having one or more processors and memory, receiving a spoken input including a request, receiving an image input including a plurality of objects, selecting a reference resolution module of a plurality of reference resolution modules based on the request and the image input, determining, with the selected reference resolution module, whether the request references a first object of the plurality of objects based on at least the spoken input, and in accordance with a determination that the request references the first object of the plurality of objects, determining a response to the request including information about the first object.

    Abstract: Systems and processes for operating an intelligent automated assistant are provided. An example process receives natural language input and determines a first and a second parsing result for the natural language input. The first and the second parsing results include respective mappings of one or more properties of a domain corresponding to the natural language input to one or more words of the natural language input. The process determines whether the second parsing result corresponds to a data item in a knowledge base, and in accordance with determining that the second parsing result corresponds to the data item in the knowledge base, the process ranks the second parsing result higher than the first parsing result. Based on the ranking, the process generates a task flow using the second parsing result and executes the task flow to provide an output based on the data item.
