    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.

    摘要: Systems and methods are provided for generating a language component vocabulary VC for a speech recognition system having a language vocabulary V of a plurality of word forms. One method for generating a language component vocabulary VC for a speech recognition system having a language vocabulary V of a plurality of word forms includes partitioning the language vocabulary V into subsets of word forms based on frequencies of occurrence of the respective word forms, in at least one the subsets, splitting word forms having frequencies less than a threshold to thereby generate word form components and generating a language component vocabulary VC including word forms and word form components. The resulting language component vocabulary, which includes word forms and word components, is used to generate a language model that can be efficiently implemented for real-time automatic speech recognition applications for languages with large vocabularies.

    摘要: A method for generating a language component vocabulary VC for a speech recognition system having a language vocabulary V of a plurality of word forms is disclosed. The method includes: partitioning the language vocabulary V into subsets of word forms based on frequencies of occurrence of the respective word forms; and in at least one of the subsets, splitting word forms having frequencies less than a threshold to thereby generate word form components. Also disclosed is a method for use in speech recognition including: splitting an acoustic vocabulary comprising baseforms into baseform components and storing the baseform components; and, performing sound to spelling mapping on the baseform components so as to generate a baseform components to word parts table for use in subsequent decoding of speech. A method for decoding a speech utterance using language model components and acoustic components, includes the steps of: generating from the utterance a stack of baseform component paths; concatenating baseform components in a path to generate concatenated baseforms, when the concatenated baseform components correspond to a baseform found in an acoustic vocabulary; mapping the concatenated baseforms into words; computing language model (LM) scores associated with the words using a language model, and performing further decoding of the utterance based thereupon.

    摘要: A system and method that provides data messages to a passive device. A passive device, for example watch, is registered together with the telephone number of a cellular telephone of a subscriber to the data message service. Since the cellular telephone periodically transmits a beacon signal, the wireless network knows its cell location. Accordingly, the system determines the cell location of the cellular telephone and establishes a communication of the subscribed data to the watch via the local cellular provider for the same cell location as that of the subscriber's cellular telephone.
