An approach is provided for determining a user age range. An age estimator causes, at least in part, acquisition of voice data. Next, the age estimator calculates a first set of probability values, wherein each of the probability values represents a probability that the voice data is in a respective one of a plurality of predefined age ranges, and the predefined age ranges are segments of a lifespan. Then, the age estimator derives a second set of probability values by applying a correlation matrix to the first set of probability values, wherein the correlation matrix associates the first set of probability values with probabilities of the voice data matching individual ages over the lifespan. Then, the age estimator, for each of the predefined age ranges, calculates a sum of the probabilities in the second set of probability values corresponding to the individual ages within the respective predefined age ranges. Further, the age estimator determines the predefined age range to associate with the voice data based, at least in part, on the calculated sums of the probabilities.

An apparatus for providing adaptive language model scaling includes an adaptive scaling element and an interface element. The adaptive scaling element is configured to receive input speech comprising a sequence of spoken words and to determine a plurality of candidate sequences of text words in which each of the candidate sequences has a corresponding sentence score representing a probability that a candidate sequence matches the sequence of spoken words. Each corresponding sentence score is calculated using an adaptive scaling factor. The interface element is configured to receive a user input selecting one of the candidate sequences. The adaptive scaling element is further configured to estimate an objective function based on the user input and to modify the adaptive scaling factor based on the estimated objective function.

Systems and methods are provided for performing soft alignment in Gaussian mixture model (GMM) based and other vector transformations. Soft alignment may assign alignment probabilities to source and target feature vector pairs. The vector pairs and associated probabilities may then be used calculate a conversion function, for example, by computing GMM training parameters from the joint vectors and alignment probabilities to create a voice conversion function for converting speech sounds from a source speaker to a target speaker.

An apparatus for providing data clustering and mode selection includes a training element and a transformation element. The training element is configured to receive a first training data set, a second training data set and auxiliary data extracted from the same material as the first training data set. The training element is also configured to train a classifier to group the first training data set into M clusters based on the auxiliary data and the first training data set and train M processing schemes corresponding to the M clusters for transforming the first training data set into the second training data set. The transformation element is in communication with the training element and is configured to cluster the second training data set into M clusters based on features associated with the second training data set.

A system and method of extracting information from a lexicon and using the information with a computer software program. Lexicon data is arranged for a particular language using Unicode values or other uniquely defined code values for each character of word of the language. A location array is then created for the lexicon data arranged by Unicode value or other uniquely defined code value. Upon a request to search for a word, words that have the same initial character as the searched-for word are identified using the location array. The identified words are then searched for an identified word that matches the searched-for word. Therefore, the amount of data loaded into run-time memory is minimized, and searches for a given word are completely more quickly than in conventional systems.

An approach is provided for diversifying recommendation results. A diversification manager determines one or more recommendation scores associated with one or more items. The one or more recommendation scores are for determining a sort order of the one or more items. The diversification manager then determines similarity information associated with the one or more items, and processes and/or facilitates a processing of the similarity information to cause, at least in part, an adjustment of the one or more recommendation scores, the sort order, or a combination thereof.

An example approach is provided for providing recommendations to a user based on user's role derived from the context information and an advanced user profile. A recommendation platform processes context information to determine one or more roles associated with a user. Next, the recommendation platform calculates at least one level of similarity between the one or more roles and one or more other roles associated with one or more other users. Then, the recommendation platform determines recommendation information associated with the one or more other users based, at least in part, on the at least one level of similarity. Next, the recommendation platform processes the recommendation information to generate one or more recommendations for the user.
