System, method, program product, and networking use for recognizing words and their parts of speech in one or more natural languages

A system, method, and computer program are disclosed for recognizing one or more words not listed in a dictionary database. One or more sequences of characters in the word are checked to determine a probability that the word is valid. A prefix removal process removes any prefixes from a word, and obtains information about the removed prefix. A suffix removal process removes any suffixes from the word, and obtains information about the removed suffix. A root process obtains information about a root word from the dictionary database. A combination process then determines if the prefix, the root, and the suffix can be combined into a valid word as defined by one or more combination rules, obtains one or more of the possible parts of speech of the valid word, and stores the parts of speech with the valid word in the dictionary database.

System and method for resolving decoding ambiguity via dialog

A method of language recognition wherein decoding ambiguities are identified and at least partially resolved intermediate to the language decoding procedures to reduce the subsequent number of final decoding alternatives. The user is questioned about identified decoding ambiguities as they are being decoded. There are two language decoding levels: fast match and detailed match. During the fast match decoding level a large potential candidate list is generated, very quickly. Then, during the more comprehensive (and slower) detailed match decoding level, the fast match candidate list is applied to the ambiguity to reduce the potential selections for final recognition. During the detailed match decoding level a unique candidate is selected for decoding. Decoding may be interactive and, as each ambiguity is encountered, recognition suspended to present questions to the user that will discriminate between potential response classes. Thus, recognition performance and accuracy is improved by interrupting recognition, intermediate to the decoding process, and allowing the user to select appropriate response classes to narrow the number of final decoding alternatives.

Identifying keyword occurrences in audio data

Occurrences of one or more keywords in audio data are identified using a speech recognizer employing a language model to derive a transcript of the keywords. The transcript is converted into a phoneme sequence. The phonemes of the phoneme sequence are mapped to the audio data to derive a time-aligned phoneme sequence that is searched for occurrences of keyword phoneme sequences corresponding to the phonemes of the keywords. Searching includes computing a confusion matrix. The language model used by the speech recognizer is adapted to keywords by increasing the likelihoods of the keywords in the language model. For each potential occurrences keywords detected, a corresponding subset of the audio data may be played back to an operator to confirm whether the potential occurrences correspond to actual occurrences of the keywords.

Method of Multilingual Speech Recognition by Reduction to Single-Language Recognizer Engine Components

In some speech recognition applications, not only the language of the utterance is not known in advance, but also a single utterance may contain words in more than one language. At the same time, it is impractical to build speech recognizers for all expected combinations of languages. Moreover, business needs may require a new combination of languages to be supported in short period of time. The invention addresses this issue by a novel way of combining and controlling the components of the single-language speech recognizers to produce multilingual speech recognition functionality capable of recognizing multilingual utterances at a modest increase of computational complexity.

Retrieving matching documents by queries in any national language

Search time is reduced with a search engine that includes a bi-directional inverted index facility which can be accessed with a keyword search in one of a number of languages and provide a listing of documents contained in all of those languages. The keywords in all supported languages are preferably stored in an inverted index lookup table cross referenced to documents in those language containing the keywords. Keywords with the same meaning in different languages are accessible together when that keyword in one of the languages is queried. The search engine containing the table can identify pertinent documents either in a selected language, a second language or in all supported languages, as determined by the user. Information about each document can include not only the identity of the document but also information used in ranking the documents such as the number of times that a keyword appears in that document, and the keywords proximity to other keywords. The use of the inverted index table therefore reduces search time by eliminating the need for translation of keywords, their identification in documents and accumulating of ranking information at search runtime and avoids inaccuracies which may result from full text translations of documents.
