摘要:
A method of validating production of a biometric attribute allegedly associated with a user comprises the following steps. A first signal is generated representing data associated with the biometric attribute allegedly received in association with the user. A second signal is also generated representing data associated with at least one feature detected in association with the production of the biometric attribute allegedly received from the user. Then, the first signal and the second signal are compared to determine a correlation level between the biometric attribute and the production feature, wherein the validation of the production of the biometric attribute depends on the correlation level. Accordingly, the invention serves to provide substantial assurance that the biometric attribute offered by the user has been physically generated by the user.

Described is a technology in which information retrieval (IR) techniques are used in a speech recognition (ASR) system. Acoustic units (e.g., phones, syllables, multi-phone units, words and/or phrases) are decoded, and features found from those acoustic units. The features are then used with IR techniques (e.g., TF-IDF based retrieval) to obtain a target output (a word or words). Also described is the use of IR techniques to provide a full large vocabulary continuous speech (LVCSR) recognizer

A computer-implemented method determines the resemblance of data objects such as Web pages. Each data object is partitioned into a sequence of tokens. The tokens are grouped into overlapping sets of the tokens to form shingles. Each shingle is represented by a unique identification element encoded as a fingerprint. A minimum element from each of the images of the set of fingerprints associated with a document under each of a plurality of pseudo random permutations of the set of all fingerprints are selected to generate a sketch of each data object. The sketches characterize the resemblance of the data objects. The sketches can be further partitioned into a plurality of groups. Each group is fingerprinted to form a feature. Data objects that share more than a certain numbers of features are estimated to be nearly identical.

The described implementations relate to automated data cleanup. One system includes a language model generated from language model seed text and a dictionary of possible data substitutions. This system also includes a transducer configured to cleanse a corpus utilizing the language model and the dictionary.

In a speech recognition system, the combination of a log-linear model with a multitude of speech features is provided to recognize unknown speech utterances. The speech recognition system models the posterior probability of linguistic units relevant to speech recognition using a log-linear model. The posterior model captures the probability of the linguistic unit given the observed speech features and the parameters of the posterior model. The posterior model may be determined using the probability of the word sequence hypotheses given a multitude of speech features. Log-linear models are used with features derived from sparse or incomplete data. The speech features that are utilized may include asynchronous, overlapping, and statistically non-independent speech features. Not all features used in training need to appear in testing/recognition.

Methods and arrangements using lattice-based information for unsupervised speaker adaptation. By performing adaptation against a word lattice, correct models are more likely to be used in estimating a transform. Further, a particular type of lattice proposed herein enables the use of a natural confidence measure given by the posterior occupancy probability of a state, that is, the statistics of a particular state will be updated with the current frame only if the a posteriori probability of the state at that particular time is greater than a predetermined threshold.
