Disambiguating multiple readings in language conversion is disclosed, including: receiving an input data to be converted into a set of characters comprising a symbolic representation of the input data in a target symbolic system; and using a language model that distinguishes between a first reading and a second reading of a character of the target symbolic system to determine a probability that the heteronymous character should be used to represent a corresponding portion of the input data.

Calculates a word n-gram probability with high accuracy in a situation where a first corpus), which is a relatively small corpus containing manually segmented word information, and a second corpus, which is a relatively large corpus, are given as a training corpus that is storage containing vast quantities of sample sentences. Vocabulary including contextual information is expanded from words occurring in first corpus of relatively small size to words occurring in second corpus of relatively large size by using a word n-gram probability estimated from an unknown word model and the raw corpus. The first corpus (word-segmented) is used for calculating n-grams and the probability that the word boundary between two adjacent characters will be the boundary of two words (segmentation probability). The second corpus (word-unsegmented), in which probabilistic word boundaries are assigned based on information in the first corpus (word-segmented), is used for calculating a word n-grams.

Techniques are provided for determining collaborative notes and automatically recognizing speech, handwriting and other type of information. Domain and optional actor / speaker information associated with the support information is determined. An initial automatic speech recognition model is determined based on the domain and / or actor information. The domain and / or actor / speaker language model is used to recognize text in the speech information associated with the support information. Presentation support information such as slides, speaker notes and the like are determined. The semantic overlap between the support information and the salient non-function words in the recognized text and collaborative user feedback information are used to determine relevancy scores for the recognized text. Grammaticality, well formedness, self referential integrity and other features are used to determine correctness scores. Suggested collaborative notes are displayed in the user interface based on the salient non-function words. User actions in the user interface determine feedback signals. Recognition models such as automatic speech recognition, handwriting recognition are determined based on the feedback signals and the correctness and relevance scores.

A method and apparatus are provided for adapting a language model to a task-specific domain. Under the method and apparatus, the relative frequency of n-grams in a small training set (i.e. task-specific training data set) and the relative frequency of n-grams in a large training set (i.e. out-of-domain training data set) are used to weight a distribution count of n-grams in the large training set. The weighted distributions are then used to form a modified language model by identifying probabilities for n-grams from the weighted distributions.

Speech recognition models are dynamically re-configurable based on user information, application information, background information such as background noise and transducer information such as transducer response characteristics to provide users with alternate input modes to keyboard text entry. Word recognition lattices are generated for each data field of an application and dynamically concatenated into a single word recognition lattice. A language model is applied to the concatenated word recognition lattice to determine the relationships between the word recognition lattices and repeated until the generated word recognition lattices are acceptable or differ from a predetermined value only by a threshold amount. These techniques of dynamic re-configurable speech recognition provide for deployment of speech recognition on small devices such as mobile phones and personal digital assistants as well environments such as office, home or vehicle while maintaining the accuracy of the speech recognition.
