    摘要: Described is automatically testing the quality of an audio coupling between juxtaposed first and second digital telephones, e.g., VoIP telephones, such as to quantitatively determine the quality of audio echo cancellers in those digital telephones. An analyzer receives timestamps from a first telephone and second telephone during a calling session, including timestamps for when the second telephone initially provides audio (e.g., speech) to the first telephone, when the first telephone initially detects sound, when the first telephone initially provides audio to the second telephone, and when the second telephone initially detects sound. The analyzer uses the relative timing of the timestamps and the speech recognizer's outcome to determine whether the audio coupling is experiencing interference or echo. When the audio includes speech, a confidence level corresponding to accuracy of speech recognition also may establish the audio coupling's quality.

    摘要: Generally described, aspects of the present invention are directed at software systems for responding to a received voicemail message. In one embodiment, a selection user interface is provided where a primary callee may generate an event to create a draft voicemail message that is related to a received voicemail message. In response to receiving an event from the selection user interface to create a draft voicemail message, aspects of the present invention (1) create an electronic file to store the draft voicemail message, and (2) insert metadata into the electronic file that defines the relationship between the draft voicemail message and the received voicemail message. As a result, a callee may easily create a draft voicemail message that is related to a received voicemail message and have the draft voicemail message automatically populated with contextual data.

    摘要: Methods and apparatus for producing efficiently sized models suitable for pattern recognition purposes are described. Various embodiments are directed to the automated generation, evaluation, and selection of reduced size models from an initial model having a relatively large number of components, e.g., more components than can be stored for a particular intended application. To achieve model size reduction in an automated iterative manner, expectation maximization (EM) model training techniques are combined, in accordance with the present invention, with model size constraints. In one embodiment, a new reduced size model is generated using a LaGrange multiplier from an input model and input size constraints during each iteration of the size reducing model training process. The reduced size model generated during one iteration of the process serves as the input to the next iteration. Scoring, e.g., maximum likelihood scoring, and evaluation steps, in conjunction with stop criteria, are used to determine the number of model size reducing iterations performed, and which reduced size model is selected as the output of the size reduction model training process.
