摘要： The dynamic programming technique employs a lexical tree that is encoded in computer memory as a flat representation in which the nodes of each generation occupy contiguous memory locations. The traversal algorithm employs a set of traversal rules whereby nodes of a given generation are processed before the parent nodes of that generation. The deepest child generation is processed first and traversal among nodes of each generation proceeds in the same topological direction.

摘要： A media capture device has an audio input receptive of user speech relating to a media capture activity in close temporal relation to the media capture activity. A plurality of focused speech recognition lexica respectively relating to media capture activities are stored on the device, and a speech recognizer recognizes the user speech based on a selected one of the focused speech recognition lexica. A media tagger tags captured media with generated speech recognition text, and a media annotator annotates the captured media with a sample of the user speech that is suitable for input to a speech recognizer. Tagging and annotating are based on close temporal relation between receipt of the user speech and capture of the captured media. Annotations may be converted to tags during post processing, employed to edit a lexicon using letter-to-sound rules and spelled word input, or matched directly to speech to retrieve captured media.

摘要： Client speaker locations in a speaker space are used to generate speech models for comparison with test speaker data or test speaker speech models. The speaker space can be constructed using training speakers that are entirely separate from the population of client speakers, or from client speakers, or from a mix of training and client speakers. Reestimation of the speaker space based on client environment information is also provided to improve the likelihood that the client data will fall within the speaker space. During enrollment of the clients into the speaker space, additional client speech can be obtained when predetermined conditions are met. The speaker distribution can also be used in the client enrollment step.

摘要： A set of speaker dependent models or adapted models is trained upon a comparatively large number of training speakers, one model per speaker, and model parameters are extracted in a predefined order to construct a set of supervectors, one per speaker. Dimensionality reduction is then performed on the set of supervectors to generate a set of eigenvectors that define an eigenvoice space. If desired, the number of vectors may be reduced to achieve data compression. Thereafter, a new speaker provides adaptation data from which a supervector is constructed by constraining this supervector to be in the eigenvoice space based on a maximum likelihood estimation. The resulting coefficients in the eigenspace of this new speaker may then be used to construct a new set of model parameters from which an adapted model is constructed for that speaker. The adapted model may then be further adapted via MAP, MLLR, MLED or the like. The eigenvoice technique may be applied to MLLR transformation matrices or the like; Bayesian estimation performed in eigenspace uses prior knowledge about speaker space density to refine the estimate about the location of a new speaker in eigenspace.

摘要： Apparatus and an associated method for ascertaining the operational status of a pen in a vector plotter in which a pen is moved into contact with a paper web at a test location, the pen is moved relative to the web and an optical detector is used to determine whether or not the pen is drawing a line on the web. The web is moved from a supply roll to a take-up roll to move the test area on the web to an optical testing location. The absence of a line after a pre-determined period of web movement time signals the inoperative status of the pen and the detection of a line by the pen within that pre-determined period of movement time signals that the pen is operative. Quality and proper line width of the line can also be determined.

摘要： In a pen plotter having a pen carriage exchangeably carrying a pen with a downward-facing plotting tip controlled in its movement over a plotting area by control logic and also having a multiple pen-holding rotating turret hub controlled by the control logic, this invention consists of cleaning apparatus for automatically cleaning the tip of a pen after pickup from the turret hub and prior to or just after use. There is a brush ring having upward-facing bristles concentrically carried by the turret hub and additional logic contained in the control logic for moving the pen carriage to the brush ring to place the plotting tip within the bristles prior to or just after plotting with the plotting tip and for rotating the turret hub and the brush ring in combination when the plotting tip is within the bristles whereby to clean the plotting tip with the bristles. The brush ring can be rotated bi-directionally for better cleaning if desired. A debris tray can also be added under the brush ring for catching debris falling therefrom to prevent its entering the working parts of the plotter.
