Abstract:
A method for processing a received set of speech data, wherein the received set of speech data comprises an utterance, is provided. The method executes a process to generate a plurality of confidence scores, wherein each of the plurality of confidence scores is associated with one of a plurality of candidate utterances; determines a plurality of difference values, each of the plurality of difference values comprising a difference between two of the plurality of confidence scores; and compares the plurality of difference values to determine at least one disparity.
Abstract:
A health monitoring system for monitoring a vehicle and a method for operating the same are provided. The system, for example, may include, but is not limited to, at least one sensor configured to collect data corresponding to the vehicle, an interface system, a memory, and a processor communicatively coupled to the at least one sensor, the interface system and the memory, the processor configured to: determine when the vehicle is experiencing an anomaly, collect, from the interface system, data corresponding to the anomaly from a user of the vehicle, and associate, the data collected from the interface system and the data collected from the at least one sensor.
Abstract:
A method and system for determining whether, when, and how an unmanned agent interrupts a human is provided. The provided method and system uses a two-step multivariate analysis to (i) process a request for human interaction to determine whether to interrupt a human, and (ii) determine when and how to interrupt the human. The provided method and system interrupts the human in a manner that reflects analysis of variables such as mission criticality, whether a delay in the mission is acceptable, and the propriety of interrupting the human.
Abstract:
An intent managing system and a method for operating the same are provided. The system, for example, may include, but is not limited to a processor communicatively coupled to an input system and a memory. The processor may be configured to receive a voice command, determine how many of a plurality of voice controllable systems utilize the voice command, automatically select one of the plurality of voice controllable systems, generate an indication of the selected one of the plurality of voice controllable systems, receive, from the at least one input system, confirmation of the selected one of the plurality of voice controllable systems, and execute the received voice command at the selected one of the plurality of voice controllable systems when the confirmation is received.

Abstract:
A system and method for detecting pilot fatigue in an aircraft having at least an airframe and a pilot-operated aircraft control device includes detecting movements of the aircraft control device, and determining when the pilot is fatigued based on the detected movements of the aircraft control device.
Abstract:
A verbal taxi clearance system for an aircraft and a method of controlling the same are provided. The system, for example, may include, but is not limited to a communication system, and a processor communicatively coupled to the communication system, the processor configured to receive, from the communication system, first audio data from air traffic control, convert the first audio data from air traffic control into first taxi route data, receive second audio data from a cockpit of the aircraft, convert the second audio data into second taxi route data, compare the first taxi route data to the second taxi route data, output, when the first taxi route data matches the second taxi route data, a taxi route corresponding to the first and second taxi route data, and generate an alert when the first taxi route data does not match the second taxi route data.
Abstract:
A method for receiving and analyzing data compatible with voice recognition technology is provided. The method receives speech data comprising at least a subset of an articulated statement; executes a plurality of processes to generate a plurality of probabilities, based on the received speech data, each of the plurality of processes being associated with a respective candidate articulated statement, and each of the generated plurality of probabilities comprising a likelihood that an associated candidate articulated statement comprises the articulated statement; and analyzes the generated plurality of probabilities to determine a recognition result, wherein the recognition result comprises the articulated statement.
