Controls are provided for a web server to generate client side markups that include recognition and/or audible prompting. The controls comprise elements of a dialog such as a question, answer, confirmation, command or statement. A module forms a dialog by making use of the information carried in the controls.

摘要:
A classifier is built to rank documents of different languages found in a query based at least in part on similarity to other documents and the relevance of those other documents to the query. A joint ranking model, e.g., based upon a Boltzmann machine, is used to represent the content similarity among documents, and to help determine joint relevance probability for a set of documents. The relevant documents of one language are thus leveraged to improve the relevance estimation for documents of different languages. In one aspect, a hidden layer of units (neurons) represents clusters (corresponding to relevant topics) among the retrieved documents, with an output layer representing the relevant documents and their features, and edges representing a relationship between clusters and documents.
摘要:
A sentence is accessed and at least one query is generated based on the sentence. At least one query can be compared to text within a collection of documents, for example using a web search engine. Collocation errors in the sentence can be detected and/or corrected based on the comparison of the at least one query and the text within the collection of documents.
摘要:
Collocation errors can be automatically proofed using local and network-based corpora, including the Web. For example, according to one illustrative method, one or more collocations from a text sample are compared with a corpus such as the content of the Web. The collocations are identified for whether they are disfavored in the corpus. Indications are provided via an output device of whether the collocations are disfavored in the corpus. Additional steps may then be taken such as searching for and providing potentially proper word collocations via a user output.
摘要:
A method and apparatus for compressing query logs is provided. Multiple levels of user-specifiable compression include character-based compression, token-based compression, and subsumption. An efficient method for performing subsumption is also provided. The compressed query logs are then used to train a statistical process such as a help function for a computer operating system.
摘要:
A text generator automatically generating a text document based on the actions of an author on a user interface. To generate the text document the author activates a recording component. The recording component records the author's actions on the user interface. Based on the recorded actions, a text generation component searches a text database and identifies an entry that matches the author's recorded actions. This text is then combined to form a text document, which provides instruction or other information to a user. During the process of generating the text document, the text can be edited using an editor as desired, such as to enhance the comprehensibility of the document.
摘要:
Tone-sensitive acoustic models are generated by first generating acoustic vectors which represent the input data. The input data is separated into multiple frames and an acoustic vector is generated for each frame which represents the input data over its corresponding frame. A tone-sensitive parameter is then generated for each of the frames which indicates the tone of the input data at its corresponding frame. Tone-sensitive parameters are generated in accordance with two embodiments. First, a pitch detector may be used to calculate a pitch for each of the frames. If a pitch cannot be detected for a particular frame, then a pitch is created for that frame based on the pitch values of surrounding frames. Second, the cross covariance between the autocorrelation coefficients for each frame and its successive frame may be generated and used as the tone-sensitive parameter. Feature vectors are then created for each frame by appending the tone-sensitive parameter for a frame to the acoustic vector for the same frame. Then, using these feature vectors, acoustic models are created which represent the input data.
