Abstract:
Systems and processes for word encoding are provided. In accordance with one example, a method includes, at an electronic device with one or more processors and memory, receiving a user input, determining a first similarity between a representation of the user input and a first acoustic model of a plurality of acoustic models, and determining a second similarity between the representation of the user input and a second acoustic model of the plurality of acoustic models. The method further includes determining whether the first similarity is greater than the second similarity. In accordance with a determination that the first similarity is greater than the second similarity, the first acoustic model may be selected; and in accordance with a determination that the first similarity is not greater than the second similarity, the second acoustic model may be selected.
Abstract:
Systems and processes for unified language modeling are provided. In accordance with one example, a method includes, at an electronic device with one or more processors and memory, receiving a character of a sequence of characters and determining a current character context based on the received character of the sequence of characters and a previous character context. The method further includes determining a current word representation based on the current character context and determining a current word context based on the current word representation and a previous word context. The method further includes determining a next word representation based on the current word context and providing the next word representation.
Abstract:
Methods, systems, and computer-readable media related to a technique for providing handwriting input functionality on a user device. A handwriting recognition module is trained to have a repertoire comprising multiple non-overlapping scripts and capable of recognizing tens of thousands of characters using a single handwriting recognition model. The handwriting input module provides real-time, stroke-order and stroke-direction independent handwriting recognition. In some embodiments, temporally-derived features are used to improve recognition accuracy without compromising the stroke-order and stroke-direction independence of the recognition system.

A handwriting recognition module is trained to have a repertoire comprising multiple non-overlapping scripts and capable of recognizing tens of thousands of characters using a single handwriting recognition model. The handwriting input module provides real-time, stroke-order and stroke-direction independent handwriting recognition for multi-character handwriting input. In particular, real-time, stroke-order and stroke-direction independent handwriting recognition is provided for multi-character, or sentence level Chinese handwriting recognition. User interfaces for providing the handwriting input functionality are also disclosed.

Abstract:
Systems and processes for operating a digital assistant are provided. In accordance with one or more examples, a method includes, at a user device with one or more processors and memory, receiving unstructured natural language information from at least one user. The method also includes, in response to receiving the unstructured natural language information, determining whether event information is present in the unstructured natural language information. The method further includes, in accordance with a determination that event information is present within the unstructured natural language information, determining whether an agreement on an event is present in the unstructured natural language information. The method further includes, in accordance with a determination that an agreement on an event is present, determining an event type of the event and providing an event description based on the event type.

Abstract:
Systems and processes for language identification using recurrent neural networks are provided. An example method includes, at an electronic device, receiving a first typed character of a character sequence and determining a character context of the first typed character based on the first typed character and a second typed character of the character sequence. The method further includes determining a confidence level that the character sequence is associated with a language of a plurality of languages based on the character context of the first typed character, and determining whether the confidence level exceeds a threshold, in accordance with a determination that the confidence level exceeds the threshold, providing the language as a candidate language, and in accordance with a determination that the confidence level does not exceed the threshold, forgoing providing the language as a candidate language.
