    摘要: Disclosed herein are systems, methods, and non-transitory computer-readable storage media for modifying the prosody of synthesized speech based on an associated speech act. A system configured according to the method embodiment (1) receives text, (2) performs an analysis of the text to determine and assign a speech act label to the text, and (3) converts the text to speech, where the speech prosody is based on the speech act label. The analysis performed compares the text to a corpus of previously tagged utterances to find a close match, determines a confidence score from a correlation of the text and the close match, and, if the confidence score is above a threshold value, retrieving the speech act label of the close match and assigning it to the text.

    摘要: Disclosed herein are systems, computer-implemented methods, and tangible computer-readable media for enriching spoken language translation with dialog acts. The method includes receiving a source speech signal, tagging dialog acts associated with the received source speech signal using a classification model, dialog acts being domain independent descriptions of an intended action a speaker carries out by uttering the source speech signal, producing an enriched hypothesis of the source speech signal incorporating the dialog act tags, and outputting a natural language response of the enriched hypothesis in a target language. Tags can be grouped into sets such as statement, acknowledgement, abandoned, agreement, question, appreciation, and other. The step of producing an enriched translation of the source speech signal uses a dialog act specific translation model containing a phrase translation table.

    摘要: Disclosed herein are systems, methods, and non-transitory computer-readable storage media for bootstrapping a language translation system. A system configured to practice the method performs a bidirectional web crawl to identify a bilingual website. The system analyzes data on the bilingual website to make a classification decision about whether the root of the bilingual website is an entry point for the bilingual website. The bilingual site can contain pairs of parallel pages. Each pair can include a first website in a first language and a second website in a second language, and a first portion of the first web page corresponds to a second portion of the second web page. Then the system analyzes the first and second web pages to identify corresponding information pairs in the first and second languages, and extracts the corresponding information pairs from the first and second web pages for use in a language translation model.

    摘要: Multimodal utterances contain a number of different modes. These modes can include speech, gestures, and pen, haptic, and gaze inputs, and the like. This invention use recognition results from one or more of these modes to provide compensation to the recognition process of one or more other ones of these modes. In various exemplary embodiments, a multimodal recognition system inputs one or more recognition lattices from one or more of these modes, and generates one or more models to be used by one or more mode recognizers to recognize the one or more other modes. In one exemplary embodiment, a gesture recognizer inputs a gesture input and outputs a gesture recognition lattice to a multimodal parser. The multimodal parser generates a language model and outputs it to an automatic speech recognition system, which uses the received language model to recognize the speech input that corresponds to the recognized gesture input.

    摘要: A method and apparatus for automatically detecting and extracting information from dynamically generated web pages are disclosed. For example, the present method stores user provided information that is entered into a form interface of a web page for a first query. Responsive to the first query, a first response web page is received and stored. The present method then automatically generates a second query to acquire a second response web page that is responsive to the second query. Finally, the present method compares the first response web page and the second response web page. In one embodiment, the present invention extracts information that is dissimilar between the first response web page and the second response web page. This extracted information is deemed to be the pertinent information requested by the user.

    摘要: Classification of sequences, such as the translation of natural language sentences, is carried out using an independence assumption. The independence assumption is an assumption that the probability of a correct translation of a source sentence word into a particular target sentence word is independent of the translation of other words in the sentence. Although this assumption is not a correct one, a high level of word translation accuracy is nonetheless achieved. In particular, discriminative training is used to develop models for each target vocabulary word based on a set of features of the corresponding source word in training sentences, with at least one of those features relating to the context of the source word. Each model comprises a weight vector for the corresponding target vocabulary word. The weights comprising the vectors are associated with respective ones of the features; each weight is a measure of the extent to which the presence of that feature for the source word makes it more probable that the target word in question is the correct one.

    摘要: A system, method and computer-readable medium for generating natural language utilizes a stochastic process to choose a derivation tree according to a predetermined grammar, such as tree-adjoined grammar (TAG). A word lattice is created from a single semi-specified derivation tree and the proper path (i.e., desired output string) is selected from the lattice using a least cost, or other appropriate algorithms.
