Techniques are disclosed for using a combination of explicit and implicit user context modeling techniques to identify and provide appropriate computer actions based on a current context, and to continuously improve the providing of such computer actions. The appropriate computer actions include presentation of appropriate content and functionality. Feedback paths can be used to assist automated machine learning in detecting patterns and generating inferred rules, and improvements from the generated rules can be implemented with or without direct user control. The techniques can be used to enhance software and device functionality, including self-customizing of a model of the user's current context or situation, customizing received themes, predicting appropriate content for presentation or retrieval, self-customizing of software user interfaces, simplifying repetitive tasks or situations, and mentoring of the user to promote desired change.

An entropy encoding / decoding scheme uses an arithmetic encoder / decoder together with a context modeler for performing a context-based adaptive binary arithmetic coding, which is especially suited for video compression applications. The context modeler includes an initializer for initializing the context modeler by determining and providing initialization probability information to the arithmetic encoder, the initialization probability information to be used by the arithmetic encoder for processing a start symbol of a symbol sequence. The initializer is operative to determine the initialization probability information based on an estimation of the symbol statistics relating to the start symbol such that an initialization probability distribution is different from an equi-probable distribution for all symbols of the symbol set. By means of the initialization, the context-based adaptive binary arithmetic coding / decoding scheme is optimally adjusted before processing a start symbol of the symbol sequence so that no bit rate compression losses because of a delayed context-based adaptation are introduced.

Corpus analysis methods have previously been applied to text, typically to annotated text. The invention shows how to apply corpus analysis methods to information captured in databases, where the database columns include a mixture of both structured domains and unstructured domains containing text. It uses case-based methods to automatically organize cases for periodic review. The invention can help to identify opportunities for increasing knowledge about databases. By organizing a database around common lexical, semantic, pragmatic and syntactic relationships, the invention can be used to increase the effectiveness of previous corpus analysis methods, and to apply them to a diversity of commercial applications. The invention applies contextual constraints to focus the application of linguistic methods. This invention can provide a component for medical records, enterprise databases, information retrieval, question answering systems, interactive robots, interactive appliances, linguistically competent speech recognition, speech understanding and many other useful devices and applications that require a high level of linguistic competence within operational contexts.

A novel method for going beyond the observed properties of a keyword, to a model in which the presence of a term in a document is assessed not by looking at the actual occurrence of that term, but by a set of non-independent supporting terms, defining the context. In other words, similarity is determined not by properties of the keyword, but by properties of the keyword's context. This yields a scoring for documents which is useful for ad hoc retrieval and, by extension, any information retrieval task where keyword-based similarity is needed.

This invention provides a novel single-pass and multi-pass synchronized encoder and decoder, performing order(s) of magnitude faster data compression and decompression, at any compression ratio with the higher or the same perceived and measured decompressed image quality in comparison with the best state-of-the-art compression methods, using order(s) of magnitude less system resources (processor complexity, memory size, consumed power, bus bandwith, data latency). These features are achieved using novel direct and inverse non-stationary filters for the recusive octave direct and inverse subband transformation, novel simple context modeling and symbol probability estimation using a minimum number of histograms with the fast adaptation for the sign and the magnitude of the transformation coefficients, a novel accelerated range coder without division operations, and a novel synchronisation of the compressed data.

The invention discloses a parallel non-zero coefficient context modeling method for binary arithmetic coding, and relates to a context modeling technology for video coding. The method is proposed to solve the problem that the data throughput rate of a coding system is reduced because the conventional binary arithmetic coding generates a data dependency relationship on the context in the context modeling process of non-zero coefficients. The method comprises the following steps of: 1, defining the number of coefficients and non-zero coefficients in a transform quantification block; 2, performing binarization on the non-zero coefficients to obtain a bin sequence; 3, performing context modeling on a first context according to the position information of the non-zero coefficients and the number of the non-zero coefficients in the transform quantification block; 4, calculating the probability distribution of the non-zero coefficients, the absolute value of which is abs (Li) in the first context value; 5, subtracting 1 from the absolute value of Li, and performing binarization; and 6, performing context modeling by using the equal probability distribution. By using the method, the context modeling processes of different non-zero coefficients can be simultaneously performed, and parallel execution of multiple context modeling processes in the coding process is realized.

Systems and methods are provided for improving language models for speech recognition by adapting knowledge sources utilized by the language models to session contexts. A knowledge source, such as a knowledge graph, is used to capture and model dynamic session context based on user interaction information from usage history, such as session logs, that is mapped to the knowledge source. From sequences of user interactions, higher level intent sequences may be determined and used to form models that anticipate similar intents but with different arguments including arguments that do not necessarily appear in the usage history. In this way, the session context models may be used to determine likely next interactions or "turns" from a user, given a previous turn or turns. Language models corresponding to the likely next turns are then interpolated and provided to improve recognition accuracy of the next turn received from the user.
