A portable radio may include a radio frequency (RF) transmitter, an RF receiver, and an audio input transducer. A controller may store command messages and speech messages, implement a stand-alone, speech recognition and text-to-speech (TTS) function for the stored command messages and stored speech messages. The controller may also control at least one of an RF transmitter and RF receiver of a remote radio based upon an input command matching one of the stored command messages using the audio input transducer and the stand-alone speech recognition and TTS function, and convert a speech message matching one of the stored speech messages into a text message. The RF transmitter may send the text message to the remote receiver.

In an embodiment, the disclosed technologies are capable of detecting a tone in text. A detected tone may be used to inform a decision made by and/or output produced by a grammatical error correction system. A set of candidate tones may be presented to a user for feedback. User feedback on the candidate tones may be used to improve subsequent tone detections.

Systems and methods for performing inference for word or wordpiece tokenization are disclosed using a left-to-right longest-match-first greedy process. In some examples, the vocabulary may be organized into a trie structure in which each node includes a precomputed token or token ID and a fail link, so that the tokenizer can parse the trie in a single pass to generate a list of only those tokens or token IDs that correspond to the longest matching vocabulary entries in the sample string, without the need for backtracking. In some examples, the vocabulary may be organized into a trie in which each node has a fail link, and any node that would share token(s) or token_ID(s) of a preceding node is instead given a prev_match link that points back to a chain of nodes with those token(s) or token_ID(s).

Systems and methods for a boosted Latent Dirichlet Allocation model with predefined clusters and repelling force. Herein, clusters are pre-populated with seed words with amplified weights to predefine the characteristics of clusters. A repel force is also applied while assigning words to specific clusters in order to assign words more accurately to clusters in instances where clusters have similar characteristics. In addition to generating improved clustering of words, systems and methods may analyze words within queries to provide explainability output related to the performance of content or data.

Glyph accessibility techniques are described. In an example, the glyph management system obtains alternate glyphs of glyphs from an input glyph sequence. The glyph management system then determines a swash type of swashes included in respective alternate glyphs. The swash type is used to generate candidate glyph sequences using one or more rules. The candidate glyph sequences are usable to replace an input glyph sequence in the user interface.

The independent claims of this patent signify a concise description of embodiments. An emulation control block enables a user to view an entire design in the same phase so that the used can observe and control a halted design in the same logical reference cycle. Both the clock cone and design flops are provided in the state which occurs after the evaluation of cycle K of the reference time. During cycle K+1 of an emulation, the values of derived clocks for cycle K+1 are computed. Moreover, during cycle K+1 of the emulation, the values of the sequential elements are computed based cycle K values of the clocks. When the emulation is halted due to a break, the clock cone is reverted to its previous state. This Abstract is not intended to limit the scope of the claims.

A simulation suggestion system comprising a server connected with a plurality of clients via a network. The server executes a design engine for generating designs, a simulation suggestion engine for identifying suggested simulations for the designs, and a simulation engine for performing the suggested simulations on the designs. The simulation engine includes one or more simulation tools for performing one or more suggested simulations on a design. A user completes a design of an object via the design engine. The simulation suggestion engine automatically identifies one or more simulation tools that are appropriate for the completed design based on at least one characteristic of the design. The simulation suggestion engine automatically identifies and loads simulation parameters (boundary conditions) for the suggested simulation tools. The suggested simulation tools are then performed on the completed design via the simulation engine.

A mechanism is provided in a first client for approximate linkage of datasets over quasi-identifiers. The mechanism receives a generalization logic data structure representing sets of values for each quasi-identifier in a first dataset of the first client. For each record in the first dataset, the mechanism generates at least one generalization of a value of a given quasi-identifier in the first dataset based on a selected generalization logic data structure corresponding to the given quasi-identifier and generates a generalized record for each of the at least one generalization to form a first generalized dataset. The mechanism sends the first generalized dataset to a semi-trusted third party for approximate linkage of the first dataset with a second dataset of a second client, receives an approximate join result from the semi-trusted third party, performs post-processing on the approximate join result, and determines a final linkage result based on the post-processing.
