摘要： A method for improving recognition results of a speech recognizer uses supplementary information to confirm recognition results. A user inputs speech to a speech recognizer. The speech recognizer resides on a mobile device or on a server at a remote location. The speech recognizer determines a recognition result based on the input speech. A confidence measure is calculated for the recognition result. If the confidence measure is below a threshold, the user is prompted for supplementary data. The supplementary data is determined dynamically based on ambiguities between the input speech and the recognition result, wherein the supplementary data will distinguish the input speech over potential incorrect results. The supplementary data may be a subset of alphanumeric characters that comprise the input speech, or other data associated with a desired result, such as an area code or location. The user may provide the supplementary data verbally, or manually using a keypad, touchpad, touchscreen, or stylus pen.

摘要： 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.

摘要： Decision trees are used to store a series of yes-no questions that can be used to convert spelled-word letter sequences into pronunciations. Letter-only trees, having internal nodes populated with questions about letters in the input sequence, generate one or more pronunciations based on probability data stored in the leaf nodes of the tree. The pronunciations may then be improved by processing them using mixed trees which are populated with questions about letters in the sequence and also questions about phonemes associated with those letters. The mixed tree screens out pronunciations that would not occur in natural speech, thereby greatly improving the results of the letter-to-pronunciation transformation.
摘要翻译：决策树用于存储可用于将拼写字母序列转换为发音的一系列“是”的问题。仅有信息树，内部节点填充有关输入序列中的字母的问题，根据存储在树的叶节点中的概率数据生成一个或多个发音。然后可以通过使用填充有序列中的字母的问题的混合树以及与这些字母相关的音素的问题来处理它们来发音。混合树屏蔽了自然语言中不会发生的发音，从而大大提高了字母到发音转换的结果。

摘要： The mixed decision tree includes a network of yes-no questions about adjacent letters in a spelled word sequence and also about adjacent phonemes in the phoneme sequence corresponding to the spelled word sequence. Leaf nodes of the mixed decision tree provide information about which phonetic transcriptions are most probable. Using the mixed trees, scores are developed for each of a plurality of possible pronunciations, and these scores can be used to select the best pronunciation as well as to rank pronunciations in order of probability. The pronunciations generated by the system can be used in speech synthesis and speech recognition applications as well as lexicography applications.

摘要： 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.

摘要： 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.

摘要： A reduced dimensionality eigenvoice analytical technique is used during training to develop context-dependent acoustic models for allophones. The eigenvoice technique is also used during run time upon the speech of a new speaker. The technique removes individual speaker idiosyncrasies, to produce more universally applicable and robust allophone models. In one embodiment the eigenvoice technique is used to identify the centroid of each speaker, which may then be “subtracted out” of the recognition equation. In another embodiment maximum likelihood estimation techniques are used to develop common decision tree frameworks that may be shared across all speakers when constructing the eigenvoice representation of speaker space.

摘要： New entries are added to the lexicon by entering them as spelled words. A transcription generator, such as a decision-tree-based phoneme or morpheme transcription generator, converts each spelled word into a set of n-best transcriptions or sequences. Meanwhile, user input or automatically generated speech corresponding to the spelled word is processed by an automatic speech recognizer and the recognizer rescores the transcriptions or sequences produced by the transcription generator. One or more of the highest scored (highest confidence) transcriptions may be added to the lexicon to update it. If desired, the spelled word-pronunciation pairs generated by the system can be used to retrain the transcription generator, making the system adaptive or self-learning.

摘要： A call routing and supervising system includes an input receiving customer speech from a remote location, and a voice characteristics extractor extracting voice characteristics from the customer speech, such as language/dialect/accent, age group, gender, and eigendimension coordinates. A customer service representative selector selects one or more customer service representatives based on profiles of the customer service representatives respective of customers having voice characteristics similar to the extracted voice characteristics. In other aspects, a call monitor automatically analyzes dialogue between the customer and the customer service representative, such as detected interruptions, tracked dialogue turns, and recognized key phrases indicating frustration, polity, and/or resolution characteristics of dialogue. The call monitor records performance of the customer service representative respective of customers having the voice characteristics. Automatic call rerouting and/or real-time instruction of call center personnel can also be accomplished based on analysis results.
