    摘要: An improved method is provided for constructing compact acoustic models for use in a speech recognizer. The method includes: partitioning speech data from a plurality of training speakers according to at least one speech related criteria (i.e., vocal tract length); grouping together the partitioned speech data from training speakers having a similar speech characteristic; and training an acoustic bubble model for each group using the speech data within the group.

    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: A speech data mining system for use in generating a rich transcription having utility in call center management includes a speech differentiation module differentiating between speech of interacting speakers, and a speech recognition module improving automatic recognition of speech of one speaker based on interaction with another speaker employed as a reference speaker. A transcript generation module generates a rich transcript based on recognized speech of the speakers. Focused, interactive language models improve recognition of a customer on a low quality channel using context extracted from speech of a call center operator on a high quality channel with a speech model adapted to the operator. Mined speech data includes number of interaction turns, customer frustration phrases, operator polity, interruptions, and/or contexts extracted from speech recognition results, such as topics, complaints, solutions, and resolutions. Mined speech data is useful in call center and/or product or service quality management.

    摘要: A method is provided for improving pattern matching in a speech recognition system having a plurality of acoustic models. The improved method includes: receiving continuous speech input; generating a sequence of acoustic feature vectors that represent temporal and spectral behavior of the speech input; loading a first group of acoustic feature vectors from the sequence of acoustic feature vectors into a memory workspace accessible to a processor; loading an acoustic model from the plurality of acoustic models into the memory workspace; and determining a similarity measure for each acoustic feature vector of the first group of acoustic feature vectors in relation to the acoustic model. Prior to retrieving another group of acoustic feature vectors, similarity measures are computed for the first group of acoustic feature vectors in relation to each of the acoustic models employed by the speech recognition system. In this way, the improved method reduces the number I/O operations associated with loading and unloading each acoustic model into memory.
