摘要： Embodiments of a feature generation system and process for use in machine learning applications utilizing statistical modeling systems are described. In one embodiment, the feature generation process generates large feature spaces by combining features using logical, arithmetic and/or functional operations. A first set of features in an initial feature space are defined. Some or all of the first set of features are processed using one or more arithmetic, logic, user-defined combinatorial processes, or combinations thereof, to produce additional features. The additional features and at least some of the first set of features are combined to produce an expanded feature space. The expanded feature space is processed through a feature selection and optimization process to produce a model in a statistical modeling system.

摘要： A system for generating language modeling data for a speech recognition system includes an expression extractor to extract expression from domain-specific data of an existing domain using a base of linguistic knowledge, a concept structure mapper to map extracted expression to expression in a new domain using vocabulary for the new domain, a concatenation module to concatenate extracted expression with domain-general data, and a filter arrangement to identify and filter out unrealistic expression in the mapped or concatenated expression.

摘要： Representation-neutral dialogue systems and methods (“RNDS”) are described that include multi-application, multi-device spoken-language dialogue systems based on the information-state update approach. The RNDS includes representation-neutral core components of a dialogue system that provide scripted domain-specific extensions to routines such as dialogue move modeling and reference resolution, easy substitution of specific semantic representations and associated routines, and clean interfaces to external components for language-understanding (i.e., speech-recognition and parsing) and language-generation, and to domain-specific knowledge sources. The RNDS also resolves multi-device dialogue by evaluating and selecting among candidate dialogue moves based on features at multiple levels. Multiple sources of information are combined, multiple speech recognition and parsing hypotheses tested, and multiple device and moves considered to choose the highest scoring hypothesis overall. Confirmation and clarification behaviour can be governed by the overall score.

摘要： A computerized method for building and running natural language understanding systems, wherein a natural language understanding system takes a sentence as input and returns some representation of the possible meanings of the sentence as output (the “interpretation”) using a run-time interpreter that assigns interpretations to sentences and a compiler that produces (in a computer memory) an internal specification needed for the run-time interpreter from a user specification of the semantics of the application. The compiler builds a natural language system, while the run-time interpreter runs the system.
