摘要:
A language recognition system, method and program product for recognizing language based input from computer users on a network of connected computers. Each computer includes at least one user based language model trained for a corresponding user for automatic speech recognition, handwriting recognition, machine translation, gesture recognition or other similar actions that require interpretation of user activities. Network computer users are clustered into classes of similar users according to user similarities such as, nationality, profession, sex, age, etc. User characteristics are collected by sensors and from databases and, then, distributed over the network during user activities. Language models with similarities among similar users on the network are identified. The language models include a language model domain, with similar language models being clustered according to their domains. Language models identified as similar are modified in response to user production activities. After modification of one language model, other identified similar language models are compared and adapted. Also, user data, including information about user activities and language model data, is transmitted over the network to other similar users. Language models are adapted only in response to similar user activities, when these activities are recorded and transmitted over the network. Language models are given a global context based on similar users that are connected together over the network.
摘要:
A speech recognition system, method and program product for recognizing speech input from computer users connected together over a network of computers. Speech recognition computer users on the network are clustered into classes of similar users according their similarities, including characteristics nationality, profession, sex, age, etc. Each computer in the speech recognition network includes at least one user based acoustic model trained for a particular user. The acoustic models include an acoustic model domain, with similar acoustic models being clustered according to an identified domain. User characteristics are collected from databases over the network and from users using the speech recognition system and then, distributed over the network during or after user activities. Existing acoustic models are modified in response to user production activities. As recognition progresses, similar language models among similar users are identified on the network. Update information, including information about user activities and user acoustic model data, is transmitted over the network and identified similar language models are updated. Acoustic models improve for users that are connected over the network as similar users use their respective speech recognition system.

An intelligent use-friendly keyboard interface that is easily adaptable for wide variety of functions and features, and also adaptable to reduced size portable computers. Speech recognition and semantic processing for controlling and interpreting multiple symbols are used in conjunction with programmable switches with embedded LCD displays. Hidden Markov models are employed to interpret a combination of voice and keyboard input.

摘要:
A method and apparatus is disclosed for automatic segregation of signals of different origin, using models that statistically characterize a wave signal, more particularly including feature vectors consisting of a plurality of parameters extracted from a data stream of a known type for use in identifying data types by comparison, which can be Hidden Markov Model based methods, thereby enabling automatic data type identification and routing of received data streams to the appropriate destination device, thereby further enabling a user to transmit different data types over the same communication channel without changing communication settings.
摘要:
A method and corresponding apparatus utilizes questioning to provide secure access control including the steps of storing information in a database; generating at least one question based upon the information stored in the data base; communicating to the user the generated question(s); receiving a response associated with the question(s), interpreting the response to determine whether the response conforms to the information upon which is based the associated question(s); and outputting an authorization status indicating whether or not the user is authorized for access according to the determination. The question(s) concerns a relationship among portions of information contained in said data base. This feature is advantageous because it protects against an eavesdropper gaining access to the service or facility and provides the capability of generating a relatively large number of different questions from a small data base. Furthermore, the questions asked of the user may be based on dynamic data, which advantageously protects against eavesdroppers gaining access to the service or facility. In addition, the number and/or type of questions generated by the first module may correspond to a security level of the system. The security level may be set by the service or facility, or may be set the system control module according to user input.
摘要:
A general approach is provided for the combined use of several sources of information in the automatic recognition of a consistent message. For each message unit (e.g., word) the total likelihood score is assumed to be the weighted sum of the likelihood scores resulting from the separate evaluation of each information source. Emphasis is placed on the estimation of weighing factors used in forming this total likelihood. This method can be applied, for example, to the decoding of a consistent message using both handwriting and speech recognition. The present invention includes three procedures which provide the optimal weighing coefficients.

Techniques for electronic communication warning and modification. A method includes automatically detecting an emotional state of a sender of an electronic communication, encoding the detected emotional state of the sender, using input from at least one additional source, as metadata, embedding the metadata in the electronic communication to create an annotated version of the electronic communication, and transmitting the annotated version of the electronic communication to a recipient.

A method for improving the performance of a noise cancellation device, the method includes determining whether one or more noise making objects (NMO) are near an audible range of the noise cancellation device and receiving a signal from the one or more NMOs indicative of a kind of noise the one or more NMOs is generating. The method also includes selecting a specific noise cancellation model to reduce an expected noise in response to the received kind of noise the one or more NMOs is generating.
