摘要:
In an embodiment, a lattice of phone strings in an input communication of a user may be recognized, wherein the lattice may represent a distribution over the phone strings. Morphemes in the input communication of the user may be detected using the recognized lattice. Task-type classification decisions may be made based on the detected morphemes in the input communication of the user.
摘要:
The invention concerns a method and system for detecting morphemes in a user's communication. The method may include recognizing a lattice of phone strings from the user's input communication, the lattice representing a distribution over the phone strings, and detecting morphemes in the user's input communication using the lattice. The morphemes may be acoustic and/or non-acoustic. The morphemes may represent any unit or sub-unit of communication including phones, diphones, phone-phrases, syllables, grammars, words, gestures, tablet strokes, body movements, mouse clicks, etc. The training speech may be verbal, non-verbal, a combination of verbal and non-verbal, or multimodal.
摘要:
The invention concerns a method of task classification using morphemes which operates on the task objective of a user. The morphemes may be generated by clustering selected ones of the salient sub-morphemes selected from training speech which are semantically and syntactically similar. The method may include detecting morphemes present in the user's input communication, and making task-type classification decisions based on the detected morphemes in the user's input communication. The morphemes may be verbal and/or non-verbal.
摘要:
The invention concerns a method of generating morphemes for speech recognition and understanding. The method may include receiving training speech, selecting candidate sub-morphemes from the training speech, selecting salient sub-morphemes from the candidate sub-morphemes based on salience measurements, and clustering the salient sub-morphemes based on semantic and syntactic similarities into morphemes. The morphemes may be acoustic and/or non-acoustic. The sub-morphemes may represent any sub-unit of communication including phones, phone-phrases, grammars, diphones, words, gestures, tablet strokes, body movements, mouse clicks, etc. The training speech may be verbal, non-verbal, a combination of verbal and non-verbal, or multimodal.

In a method of learning grammar from a corpus, context words are identified from a corpus. For the other non-context words, the method counts the occurrence of predetermined relationships which the context words, and maps the counted occurrences to a multidimensional frequency space. Clusters are grown from the frequency vectors. The clusters represent classes of words; words in the same cluster possess the same lexical significancy and provide an indicator of grammatical structure.

This invention is directed to the selection of superwords based on a criterion relevant to speech recognition and understanding. Superwords are used to refer to those word combinations which are so often spoken that are recognized or should have models for such combinations reflected in its grammar. The selected superwords are placed in a lexicon is then used by a speech recognizer to improve recognition of input speech utterances for the proper routing of a user's task objectives.

A method and apparatus are provided for automatically acquiring grammar fragments for recognizing and understanding fluently spoken language. Grammar fragments representing a set of syntactically and semantically similar phrases may be generated using three probability distributions: of succeeding words, of preceding words, and of associated call-types. The similarity between phrases may be measured by applying Kullback-Leibler distance to these three probability distributions. Phrases being close in all three distances may be clustered into a grammar fragment.

A system and a method are provided. A speech recognition processor receives unconstrained input speech and outputs a string of words. The speech recognition processor is based on a numeric language that represents a subset of a vocabulary. The subset includes a set of words identified as being for interpreting and understanding number strings. A numeric understanding processor contains classes of rules for converting the string of words into a sequence of digits. The speech recognition processor utilizes an acoustic model database. A validation database stores a set of valid sequences of digits. A string validation processor outputs validity information based on a comparison of a sequence of digits output by the numeric understanding processor with valid sequences of digits in the validation database.

A method, system and machine-readable medium are provided for watermarking natural language digital text. A deep structure may be generated and a group of features may be extracted from natural language digital text input. The deep structure may be modified based, at least partly, on a watermark. Natural language digital text output may be generated based on the modified deep structure.
摘要:
A system and method is provided for combining active and unsupervised learning for automatic speech recognition. This process enables a reduction in the amount of human supervision required for training acoustic and language models and an increase in the performance given the transcribed and un-transcribed data.
