    摘要: A method and system for dynamically assigning weights to the subset of commands in a natural language dialog system based on prior context of the user's interaction with the system. The search space of the translation process may be reduced when some context information is available. A user presents input to the natural language understanding system. The system translates the user input into a formal command and calculates a weight value for a next set of formal commands based on the formal command. The command weights may then be dynamically boosted for the next set of formal commands before executing the formal command. The exemplary aspects of the present invention reduce the time needed to complete a task since the search space of the translation process may be reduced if context information is available and improve the accuracy of the process by using knowledge that users regularly use repeating patterns for repeating tasks.

    摘要: Automated decision making techniques are provided. For example, a technique for generating a decision associated with an individual or an entity includes the following steps. First, two or more data streams associated with the individual or the entity are captured. Then, at least one time-varying measure is computed in accordance with the two or more data streams. Lastly, a decision is computed based on the at least one time-varying measure. One form of the time-varying measure may include a measure of the coverage of a model associated with previously-obtained training data by at least a portion of the captured data. Another form of the time-varying measure may include a measure of the stability of at least a portion of the captured data. While either measure may be employed alone to compute a decision, preferably both the coverage and stability measures are employed. The technique may be used to authenticate a speaker.

For example, an automated technique for user authentication comprises the following steps/operations. First, user input is obtained. At least a portion of the user input is associated with two or more verification objects. Then, the user is verified based on the two or more verification objects in accordance with at least one verification policy operating on a context shared across the two or more verification objects. The user authentication technique of the invention may preferably be implemented in a flexible, distributed architecture comprising at least one client device coupled to at least one verification server.

    摘要: The present invention provides a system and method for treating distortion propagated though a detection system. The system includes a compensation module that compensates for untreated distortions propagating through the detection compensation system, a user model pool that comprises of a plurality of model sets, and a model selector that selects at least one model set from plurality of model sets in the user model pool. The compensation is accomplished by continually producing scores distributed according to a prescribed distribution for the at least one model set and mitigating the adverse effects of the scores being distorted and lying off a pre-set operating point.The method for treating distortion propagated though a detection system includes receiving a signal from a remote device, and compensating the signal for untreated distortions. The compensation includes selecting at least one relevant model set from a plurality of model sets, producing scores distributed according to a pre-described distribution for the at least one model set, and mitigating the adverse effect of the scores being distorted by rejecting a signal if it lies off a preset operating point.

    摘要: A method for hierarchical translation of input to a formal command in natural language understanding systems includes presenting an input command to be translated to a natural language understanding engine. At least two translator levels are provided in the natural language understanding engine. A first translator level of the at least two translator levels translates the input command into at least one category by associating the input command with the at least one category for the next level of translators. A formal language command is output for the input command from a last of the at least two translator levels based on the input command and the at least one category.
