A computerized method is provided for generating pronunciations for words and storing the pronunciations in a pronunciation dictionary. The method includes graphing sets of initial pronunciations; thereafter in an ASR subsystem determining a highest-scoring set of initial pronunciations; generating sets of alternate pronunciations, wherein each set of alternate pronunciations includes the highest-scoring set of initial pronunciations with a lowest-probability phone of the highest-scoring initial pronunciation substituted with a unique-substitute phone; graphing the sets of alternate pronunciations; determining in the ASR subsystem a highest-scoring set of alternate pronunciations; and adding to a pronunciation dictionary the highest-scoring set of alternate pronunciations.

A computerized pronunciation system is provided for generating pronunciations for words and storing the pronunciations in a pronunciation dictionary. The system includes a word list including at least one word; transcribed acoustic data including at least one waveform for the word and transcribed text associated with the waveform; a pronunciation-learning module configured to accept as input the word list and the transcribed acoustic data, the pronunciation-learning module including: sets of initial pronunciations of the word, a scoring module configured score pronunciations and to generate phone probabilities, and a set of alternate pronunciations of the word, wherein the set of alternate pronunciations include a highest-scoring set of initial pronunciations with a highest-scoring substitute phone substituted for a lowest-probability phone; and a pronunciation dictionary configured to receive the highest-scoring set of initial pronunciations and the set of alternate pronunciations.

A method and apparatus for generating a noise-reduced feature vector representing human speech are provided. Speech data representing an input speech waveform are first input and filtered. Spectral energies of the filtered speech data are determined, and a noise reduction process is then performed. In the noise reduction process, a spectral magnitude is computed for a frequency index of multiple frequency indexes. A noise magnitude estimate is then determined for the frequency index by updating a histogram of spectral magnitude, and then determining the noise magnitude estimate as a predetermined percentile of the histogram. A signal-to-noise ratio is then determined for the frequency index. A scale factor is computed for the frequency index, as a function of the signal-to-noise ratio and the noise magnitude estimate. The noise magnitude estimate is then scaled by the scale factor. The scaled noise magnitude estimate is subtracted from the spectral magnitudes of the filtered speech data, to produce cleaned speech data, based on which a feature vector is generated.

Systems and methods for compression of data that exhibits mixed compressibility, such as floating-point data, are provided. As one example, aspects of the present disclosure can be used to compress floating-point data that represents the values of parameters of a machine-learned model. Therefore, aspects of the present disclosure can be used to compress machine-learned models (e.g., for reducing storage requirements associated with the model, reducing the bandwidth expended to transmit the model, etc.).

A method of operating a voice-enabled business directory search system includes selecting a subset of speech recognition language models from a larger set of speech recognition language models based on a type of business provided by a user, identifying weight values for the selected language models, and recognizing an identifier of a specific business in a speech input from the user based on the selected language models and the weight values.

A request for listing information is received, and if the request is determined to be for an unspecific listing, a number of ads are served prior to delivery of the requested listings. If the request is determined to not be for an unspecific business, a lesser number (or zero) ads are served prior to delivery of the requested listings. The determination of the request as being unspecific can be made by comparing the request to a list of unspecific requests, determining if the request exactly matches a listing, or by other means. Ads served result in the advertiser being assessed a per-impression charge.

The subject matter of this specification can be embodied in, among other things, a method that includes receiving an audio signal and initiating speech recognition tasks by a plurality of speech recognition systems (SRS's). Each SRS is configured to generate a recognition result specifying possible speech included in the audio signal and a confidence value indicating a confidence in a correctness of the speech result. The method also includes completing a portion of the speech recognition tasks including generating one or more recognition results and one or more confidence values for the one or more recognition results, determining whether the one or more confidence values meets a confidence threshold, aborting a remaining portion of the speech recognition tasks for SRS's that have not completed generating a recognition result, and outputting a final recognition result based on at least one of the generated one or more speech results.

In one implementation a computer-implemented method includes generating a group of telephone contacts for a first user, wherein the generating includes identifying a second user as a contact of the first user based upon a determination that the second user has at least a threshold email-based association with the first user; and adding the identified second user to the group of telephone contacts for the first user. The method further includes receiving a first request to connect a first telephone device associated with the first user to a second telephone device associated with the second user. The method also includes identifying a contact identifier of the second telephone device using the generated group of telephone contacts for the first user, and initiating a connection between the first telephone device and the second telephone device using the identified contact identifier.

A method of operating a voice-enabled business directory search system includes receiving category-business pairs, each category-business pair including a business category and a specific business, and establishing a data structure having nodes based on the category-business pairs. Each node of the data structure is associated with one or more business categories and a speech recognition language model for recognizing specific businesses associated with the one or more businesses categories.
