  • Patent number: 10096318
    Abstract: A system and method for processing speech includes receiving a first information stream associated with speech, the first information stream comprising micro-modulation features and receiving a second information stream associated with the speech, the second information stream comprising features. The method includes combining, via a non-linear multilayer perceptron, the first information stream and the second information stream to yield a third information stream. The system performs automatic speech recognition on the third information stream. The third information stream can also be used for training HMMs.

  • Patent number: 9773498
    Abstract: Disclosed herein are systems, methods, and computer-readable storage devices for fetching speech processing models based on context changes in advance of speech requests using the speech processing models. An example local device configured to practice the method, having a local speech processor, and having access to remote speech models, detects a change in context. The change in context can be based on geographical location, language translation, speech in a different language, user language settings, installing or removing an app, and so forth. The local device can determine a speech processing model that is likely to be needed based on the change in context, and that is not stored on the local device. Independently of an explicit request to process speech, the local device can retrieve, from a remote server, the speech processing model for use on the mobile device.

  • Publication number: 20150120296
    Abstract: Disclosed herein are systems, methods, and computer-readable storage media for making a multi-factor decision whether to process speech or language requests via a network-based speech processor or a local speech processor. An example local device configured to practice the method, having a local speech processor, and having access to a remote speech processor, receives a request to process speech. The local device can analyze multi-vector context data associated with the request to identify one of the local speech processor and the remote speech processor as an optimal speech processor. Then the local device can process the speech, in response to the request, using the optimal speech processor. If the optimal speech processor is local, then the local device processes the speech. If the optimal speech processor is remote, the local device passes the request and any supporting data to the remote speech processor and waits for a result.

  • Patent number: 8195462
    Abstract: Disclosed herein is a system, method and computer-readable medium storing instructions for controlling a computing device according to the method. The invention relates to a system, method and computer-readable medium storing instructions for controlling a computing device according to the method. As an example embodiment, the method uses a speech recognition decoder that operates or uses fixed point arithmetic. The exemplary method comprises representing arc costs associated with at least one finite state transducer (FST) in fixed point, representing parameters associated with a hidden Markov model (HMM) in fixed point and processing speech data in the speech recognition decoder using fixed point arithmetic for the fixed point FST arc costs and the fixed point HMM parameters. The method may also include computing at the decoder sentence hypothesis probabilities with fixed point arithmetic as type Q-2e numbers.
