  • Patent number: 12212383
    Abstract: An accompanying matrix adjH(z, t) of a transfer function matrix H(z, t) established between a transmission station and a reception station is defined as a transmission weight WT(z). An M sequence part is divided into two blocks to obtain an M sequence first half part and an M sequence second half part. A training symbol #1 having the M sequence second half part and the M sequence first half part in that order and a training symbol #2 having the M sequence first half part and the M sequence second half part in that order are processed by the transmission weight WT(z). In the receiving station, a virtual training signal block having the M sequence part S and the M sequence first half part is generated. A communication path response R(m) is calculated by a slide correlation method for the virtual training signal block.

  • Patent number: 12210832
    Abstract: In a method of responding based on sentence paraphrase recognition for dialog system, main keywords of a domain and patterns thereof are recognized and extracted based on a morpheme analysis result in a pre-processing process. Question domains/sub-categories/dialogue-acts are classified using the morpheme analysis result and the extracted main keywords and patterns. Learning a model is performed using classification features of the classified question domains, sub-categories, and dialogue-acts as semantic features of query sentences, and sentence semantic vectors are extracted by measuring similarity between the vectors. A language model of letters is trained and similarity in expression and structure is analyzed by extracting a sentence expression vector based on the letter.
