摘要： An audio data segmentation apparatus for segmenting of audio data including for supplying audio data, dividing the audio data supplied into audio clips of a predetermined length, discriminating the audio clips into predetermined audio classes, the audio classes identifying a kind of audio data included in the respective audio clip and segmenting for segmenting the audio data into audio meta patterns based on a sequence of audio classes of consecutive audio clips, each meta pattern being allocated to a predetermined type of contents of the audio data. It is difficult to achieve good results with known methods for segmentation of audio data into meta patterns since the rules for the allocation of the meta patterns are dissatisfying. This problem is solved by the inventive audio data segmentation apparatus further including a program database including program data units to identify a certain kind of program, a plurality of respective audio meta patterns being allocated to each program data unit, wherein the segmenting segments the audio data into corresponding audio meta patterns on the basis of the program data units of the program database 5.

摘要： An apparatus for classifying audio signals comprises audio signal clipping means for partitioning audio signals into audio clips, and class discrimination means for discriminating the audio clips provided by the audio signal clipping means into predetermined audio classes based on predetermined audio class classifying rules, by analysing acoustic characteristics of the audio signals comprised in the audio clips, wherein a predetermined audio class classifying rule is provided for each audio class, and each audio class represents a respective kind of audio signals comprised in the corresponding audio clip. The determination process to find acceptable audio class classifying rules for each audio class according to the prior art is depending on both the used raw audio signals and the personal experience of the person conducting the determination process. Thus, the determination process usually is very difficult, time consuming and subjective. Furthermore, there is a high risk that not all possible peculiarities of the different programmes and the different categories the audio signal can belong to is sufficiently accounted for. This problem is solved in the inventive apparatus for classifying audio signals by class discrimination means calculating an audio class confidence value for each audio class assigned to an audio clip, wherein the audio class confidence value indicates the likelihood the respective audio class characterises the respective kind of audio signals comprised in the respective audio clip correctly. Furthermore, the class discrimination means use acoustic characteristics of audio clips of audio classes having a high audio class confidence value to train the respective audio class classifying rule.

摘要： A method for recognizing speech is proposed wherein the process of recognition is started using the starting acoustic model (SAM) and wherein the current acoustic model (CAM) is modified by removing or cancelling model function mixture components (MFMjk) which are negligible for the description of the speaking behavior and quality of the current speaker. Therefore, the size of the acoustic model (SAM, CAM) is reduced by adaptation to the current speaker enabling fast performance and increased recognition efficiency.

摘要： A method and an apparatus for effecting the method are proposed that allow to define a subset of video signals from a source set of video signals on the basis of meta data available for the source set of video signals. The meta data assign a generic term to a sub-section of the audio channel of the source set of video signals, a class description to one or more sub-units of the sub-section for classifying the origin of the respective sub-unit, a category allocation to a segment, which is formed by a string of one or more classified sub-units of a sub-section, and a rating value to the segment for rating the reliability of the category allocation of the segment. The method includes steps for selecting segments of a sub-section with a rating value above a defined threshold value, assigning a priority value to each category, and specifying a first subset of video signals by defining an arrangement of selected segments by an order based on the respective priority and rating values related to each segment.
