Abstract: A method and apparatus for removing the effect of background music or noise from speech input to a speech recognizer so as to improve recognition accuracy has been devised. Samples of pure music or noise related to the background music or noise that corrupts the speech input are utilized to reduce the effect of the background in speech recognition. The pure music and noise samples can be obtained in a variety of ways. The music or noise corrupted speech input is segmented in overlapping segments and is then processed in two phases: first, the best matching pure music or noise segment is aligned with each speech segment; then a linear filter is built for each segment to remove the effect of background music or noise from the speech input and the overlapping segments are averaged to improve the signal to noise ratio. The resulting acoustic output can then be fed to a speech recognizer.

Abstract: A method for conversational computing includes executing code embodying a conversational virtual machine, registering a plurality of input/output resources with a conversational kernel, providing an interface between a plurality of active applications and the conversational kernel processing input/output data, receiving input queries and input events of a multi-modal dialog across a plurality of user interface modalities of the plurality of active applications, generating output messages and output events of the multi-modal dialog in connection with the plurality of active applications, managing, by the conversational kernel, a context stack associated with the plurality of active applications and the multi-modal dialog to transform the input queries into application calls for the plurality of active applications and convert the output messages into speech, wherein the context stack accumulates a context of each of the plurality of active applications.
