  • Patent number: 10586556
    Abstract: A method of providing real-time speech analysis for a user includes capturing a speech input, performing a real-time recognition of the speech input including converting the speech input to a text using an automatic speech recognition component, analyzing the recognized speech input, by a processing unit of a computer in a speech recognition and analyzing system, to identify an error in the user's speech, and by comparing a voice of a correct text generated by a speech generation and analyzing system with the captured speech input, and providing a real-time correction to the user based on a result of the comparing the voice of the correct text with the captured speech input. The comparing the voice of the correct text with the captured speech input includes comparing a standard pronunciation of the correct text with a pronunciation of the user in the captured speech input to identify the error.

  • Patent number: 9026628
    Abstract: A method and system for designing file replication schemes in file sharing systems consider node storage constraints and node up/down statistics, file storage costs, and file transfer costs among the nodes, user request rates for the files, and user specified file availability requirements. Based on these considerations, a systematic method for designing file replication schemes can be implemented. The method first determines the number of copies of the files to be stored in the system to achieve the desired goal (e.g., to satisfy file availability requirements, or to maximize the system hit rate), and then selects the nodes at which to store the file copies to minimize the total expected cost. The file replication scheme for a peer-to-peer file sharing system in a distributed and adaptive manner can scale to a large number of nodes and files and can handle changes in the user request pattern over time.
