Abstract: A speaker authentication system includes a data fuser operable to fuse voiceprint match attempt results with additional information to assist in authenticating a speaker providing audio input. In other aspects, the system includes a data store of speaker voiceprints and a voiceprint matching module adapted to receive an audio input and operable to attempt to assist in authenticating a speaker by matching the audio input to at least one of the speaker voiceprints. The voiceprint matching module adjusts a confidence of voiceprint match attempt results by at least one of: (a) a number of utterance repetitions upon which a matching speaker voiceprint has been trained; or (b) a passage of time since a training occurrence associated with a matching speaker voiceprint.

Abstract: A set of models is developed to represent sound units and these models are then used with the incorrect sound units to determine which generate high likelihood scores. The models generating high likelihood scores for the incorrect sound units represent those that are more likely to be confused. The resulting confusability data may then be used in generating more discriminative speech models and in subsequent pruning of the acoustic decision tree. The confusability data may also be used to develop confusability predictors used for rejection during search and in developing continuous speech recognition models that are optimized to minimize confusability.

Abstract translation: 开发了一组模型来表示声音单元，然后将这些模型与不正确的声音单元一起使用以确定哪个产生高似然分数。 为不正确声音单位产生高似然分数的模型代表更可能被混淆的那些。 所产生的可混淆性数据然后可以用于产生更具歧视性的语音模型以及随后的声学决策树的修剪。 可混淆性数据还可用于开发用于搜索期间拒绝的混淆性预测变量，并开发出经过优化以最小化混淆性的连续语音识别模型。

Abstract: The system includes a database of program records representing A/V programs which are available for recording. The system also includes an A/V recording device for receiving a recording command and recording the A/V program. A speech recognizer is provided for receiving the spoken request and translating the spoken request into a text stream having a plurality of words. A natural language processor receives the text stream and processes the words for resolving a semantic content of the spoken request. The natural language processor places the meaning of the words into a task frame having a plurality of key word slots. A dialogue system analyzes the task frame for determining if a sufficient number of key word slots have been filled and prompts the user for additional information for filling empty slots. The dialogue system searches the database of program records using the key words placed within the task frame for selecting the A/V program and generating the recording command for use by the A/V recording device.

Abstract: A computer-implemented method and apparatus is provided for processing a spoken request from a user. A speech recognizer converts the spoken request into a digital format. A frame data structure associates semantic components of the digitized spoken request with predetermined slots. The slots are indicative of data which are used to achieve a predetermined goal. A speech understanding module which is connected to the speech recognizer and to the frame data structure determines semantic components of the spoken request. The slots are populated based upon the determined semantic components. A dialog manager which is connected to the speech understanding module may determine at least one slot which is unpopulated based upon the determined semantic components and in a preferred embodiment may provide confirmation of the populated slots. A computer generated-request is formulated in order for the user to provide data related to the unpopulated slot. The method and apparatus are well-suited (but not limited) to use in a hand-held speech translation device.
