| Number | Title | Issue Date |
| 7188064 | System and method for automatic semantic coding of free response data using Hidden Markov Model methodology A system and method for coding text data wherein a first group of text data is coded using a Viterbi algorithm using a Hidden Markov model. The Hidden Markov Model computes a probable coding responsive to the first group of text data. A second group of text data is ... | 03/06/2007 |
| 7165029 | Coupled hidden Markov model for audiovisual speech recognition A speech recognition method includes use of synchronous or asynchronous audio and a video data to enhance speech recognition probabilities. A two stream coupled hidden Markov model is trained and used to identify speech. At least one stream is derived from audio dat... | 01/16/2007 |
| 7165025 | Auditory-articulatory analysis for speech quality assessment Auditory-articulatory analysis for use in speech quality assessment. Articulatory analysis is based on a comparison between powers associated with articulation and non-articulation frequency ranges of a speech signal. Neither source speech nor an estimate of the sou... | 01/16/2007 |
| 7149688 | Multi-lingual speech recognition with cross-language context modeling An approach to multi-lingual speech recognition that permits different words in an utterance to be from different languages. Words from different languages are represented using different sets of sub-word units that are each associate with the corresponding language... | 12/12/2006 |
| 7149689 | Two-engine speech recognition A speech recognition system comprises exactly two automated speech recognition (ASR) engines connected to receive the same inputs. Each engine produces a recognition output, a hypothesis. The system implements one of two (or both) methods for combining the output of... | 12/12/2006 |
| 7117153 | Method and apparatus for predicting word error rates from text A method of modeling a speech recognition system includes decoding a speech signal produced from a training text to produce a sequence of predicted speech units. The training text comprises a sequence of actual speech units that is used with the sequence of predicte... | 10/03/2006 |
| 7103544 | Method and apparatus for predicting word error rates from text A method of modeling a speech recognition system includes decoding a speech signal produced from a training text to produce a sequence of predicted speech units. The training text comprises a sequence of actual speech units that is used with the sequence of predicte... | 09/05/2006 |
| 7089183 | Accumulating transformations for hierarchical linear regression HMM adaptation A new iterative hierarchical linear regression method for generating a set of linear transforms to adapt HMM speech models to a new environment for improved speech recognition is disclosed. The method determines a new set of linear transforms at an iterative step by... | 08/08/2006 |
| 6993586 | User intention modeling for web navigation The disclosed subject matter models or predicts a user's intention during network or WWW navigation. Specifically, a statistical multi-step n-gram probability model is used to predict a user's optimal information goal. The optimal information goal is based on a sequ... | 01/31/2006 |
| 4817156 | Rapidly training a speech recognizer to a subsequent speaker given training data of a reference speaker Apparatus and method for training the statistics of a Markov Model speech recognizer to a subsequent speaker who utters part of a training text after the recognizer has been trained for the statistics of a reference speaker who utters a full training text... | 03/28/1989 |
| 4759068 | Constructing Markov models of words from multiple utterances Speech recognition is improved by splitting each feneme string at a consistent point into a left portion and a right portion. The present invention addresses the problem of constructing fenemic baseforms which take into account variations in pronunciation... | 07/19/1988 |
