Abstract:
A method for adapting a phonetic dictionary for peculiarities of a speech of an at least one speaker, comprising generating search pronunciations for a search term, retrieving audio sections from an audio database for each search pronunciation, audibly presenting to a person the audio sections of the speech of the at least one speaker, and updating the phonetic dictionary based on acceptability of the audio sections determined from judgments by the person regarding intelligibility of the audio sections in audibly pronouncing the provided at least one word, wherein the method is performed on an at least one computerized apparatus configured to perform the method.
Abstract:
A method for adapting a speech recognition system for out-of-vocabulary, comprising, decoding by a hybrid speech recognition a speech including out-of-vocabulary terms, thereby generating graphemic transcriptions of the speech with a mixture of recognized in-vocabulary words and unrecognized sub-words, while keeping a track of the decoded segments of the speech, determining in the transcription sequences of sub-words as candidate out-of-vocabulary words based on a first condition with respect to lengths of the sequences of sub-words and a second condition with respect to the number of repetitions of the sequences, audibly presenting to a user the candidate out-of-vocabulary words from the corresponding segments of the speech according to the track, and receiving from the user indications of valid words corresponding to audible presentations of the sequences of sub-words in the candidate out-of-vocabulary words, and training a speech recognition to additionally recognize the candidate out-of-vocabulary words, thereby adapting the speech recognition to recognize out-of-vocabulary words, wherein the method is performed on an at least one computerized apparatus configured to perform the method, and an apparatus for performing the same.
Abstract:
A method comprising that in response to a beginning of a telephonic interaction in a local telephony system concurrently activating recordations of the telephonic interaction in a plurality of recorders operative parallelly and independently to obtain a plurality of recordings of the interaction corresponding to the plurality of recorders, and further in response to an ending of the telephonic interaction in the local telephony system concurrently terminating the recordations of the telephonic interaction in the plurality of the recorders, thereby providing the plurality of recordings of the interaction corresponding to the plurality of recorders, and subsequently selecting at least one recording among the plurality of the recordings of the interaction based on acquired data related to the quality of recordings associated the recordations, and an apparatus for performing the same.
Abstract:
A method for determining prominent keyphrases in interactions, comprising, receiving keyphrases of numerous interactions received via a plurality of channels that comprise apparatuses for conveying the interactions according to the media thereof, quantitatively evaluating each keyphrase by a plurality of different metrics thereby yielding a corresponding plurality of values, and linearly combining the plurality of the values with a corresponding plurality of coefficients associated with a channel via which an interaction having said keyphrase is received, thereby providing a score of said keyphrase, and based on a condition related to the scores of the keyphrases, selecting at least one keyphrase as an at least one prominent keyphrase, wherein the method is at least partially performed by an at least one computerized apparatus configured for interfacing with the apparatuses of the plurality of the channels.
Abstract:
A method for adapting a language model for a context of a domain, comprising obtaining textual contents from a large source by a request directed to the context of the domain, discarding at least a part of the textual contents that contain textual terms determined as irrelevant to the context of the domain, thereby retaining, as retained data, at least a part of the textual contents that contain textual terms determined as relevant to the context of the domain, and adapting the language model by incorporating therein at least a part of the textual terms of the retained data, wherein the method is performed on an at least one computerized apparatus configured to perform the method and equipped for communication with the large source, and an apparatus for performing the same.
Abstract:
A system and method for managing storage of a digital stream including writing data of the stream to a network storage device, while monitoring availability of the network storage device, switching to writing additional data of the stream to a standby storage device while continuing monitoring the availability of the network storage device, if the network storage device becomes unavailable, switching back to writing additional data of the stream to the network storage device while continuing monitoring the availability of the network storage device, when the network storage device becomes available, and writing to the network storage device the additional data that was written to the standby storage device while the network storage device was unavailable, concurrently with the writing of the additional data of the stream to the network storage device.
Abstract:
A method for verifying the authenticity and integrity of an ordered sequence of digital video frames, without having access to the original recording, by embedding therein a respective series of digital signatures based on a secret key, or keys, and on the video content of respective frames. Signatures are camouflaged by embedding in transform coefficients of a transformed representation of the video data in parts of the frame corresponding to motion. If there is sufficient motion to contain all of the signature bits, a supplementary technique embeds in high-texture areas of a frame. A final fall-back is to embed in a pre-defined default zone. A method of predicting when supplementary embedding is needed enables the process to be applied in a single pass allowing real-time operation. Verification is done during decoding by comparing, for identity, embedded signatures with signatures calculated anew using the method employed to embed.
Abstract:
The subject matter discloses a method, comprising obtaining a current retention time of storage associated with a digital recorder; obtaining current bitrates of channels used to transmit video captured by edge devices communicating with the digital recorder. The method then determines change in compression rates to be allocated to at least a portion of the channels according to the current retention time and the current bitrates and transmits the change in compression rates to be allocated to the channels to edge devices communicating with the digital recorder. The method can be implemented in a system in which several digital recorders use the same storage.
Abstract:
A system and method for management of task allocation in a multi-core processing system. A controller of the processing unit may, at an initialization stage determine a number of worker threads to be a prime number not smaller than a multiplication of the number of the processing cores and a predetermined factor, assign a worker identification number (ID) to each worker thread, wherein the worker IDs are consecutive positive integers ranging from zero to the number of workers minus one. At a processing state the controller may receive from a dispatcher of the processing system a task associated with a numeric context ID and designate the task to one of the worker threads, wherein the worker ID of the designated worker thread equals the numeric context ID of the task, modulo the number of worker threads.
Abstract:
System and method for recording communication sessions in a peer-to-peer communication networks. A conference call may be established between an external end-device, a target agent end-device of a call center and a recorder over a peer-to-peer communication network. After the conference call is established, the recorder may receive media transferred between the external end-device and the target agent end-device and record that media.
