  • Publication number: 20140282395
    Abstract: In various embodiments, methods and systems for maintaining compatibility between applications, based on feature-set constraints are provided. A distributed computing system provides Platform as a service (PaaS) including a software framework in a service model of cloud computing. A known compatibility baseline is established for features of a first application and a second application. The known compatibility baseline inherently includes a baseline set of unenumerated features of the applications. It is determined that the first application is compatible with second application based on comparing an explicit enumeration of added features or removed features in a feature set of the applications. The added features or removed features are tracked after the baseline set of unenumerated features is defined. The determination whether the first application and the second application are compatible is communicated for processing the first application and/or the second application.

  • Patent number: 8750464
    Abstract: The invention provides a system and method for indexing and organizing voice mail message by the speaker of the message. One or more speaker models are created from voice mail messages received. As additional messages are left, each of the new messages are compared with existing speaker models to determine the identity of the callers of each of the new messages. The voice mail messages are organized within a user's mailbox by caller. Unknown callers may be identified and tagged by the user and then used to create new speaker models and/or update existing speaker models.

  • Patent number: 8571861
    Abstract: An automatic speech recognition (ASR) system and method is provided for controlling the recognition of speech utterances generated by an end user operating a communications device. The ASR system and method can be used with a mobile device that is used in a communications network. The ASR system can be used for ASR of speech utterances input into a mobile device, to perform compensating techniques using at least one characteristic and for updating an ASR speech recognizer associated with the ASR system by determined and using a background noise value and a distortion value that is based on the features of the mobile device. The ASR system can be used to augment a limited data input capability of a mobile device, for example, caused by limited input devices physically located on the mobile device.

  • Patent number: 8463718
    Abstract: Support vector machines are used to classify data contained within a structured dataset such as a plurality of signals generated by a spectral analyzer. The signals are pre-processed to ensure alignment of peaks across the spectra. Similarity measures are constructed to provide a basis for comparison of pairs of samples of the signal. A support vector machine is trained to discriminate between different classes of the samples. to identify the most predictive features within the spectra. In a preferred embodiment feature selection is performed to reduce the number of features that must be considered.

  • Publication number: 20120185237
    Abstract: 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.

  • Patent number: 7970718
    Abstract: A group of features that has been identified as “significant” in being able to separate data into classes is evaluated using a support vector machine which separates the dataset into classes one feature at a time. After separation, an extremal margin value is assigned to each feature based on the distance between the lowest feature value in the first class and the highest feature value in the second class. Separately, extremal margin values are calculated for a normal distribution within a large number of randomly drawn example sets for the two classes to determine the number of examples within the normal distribution that would have a specified extremal margin value. Using p-values calculated for the normal distribution, a desired p-value is selected. The specified extremal margin value corresponding to the selected p-value is compared to the calculated extremal margin values for the group of features.

  • Patent number: 7930179
    Abstract: Systems and methods for unsupervised segmentation of multi-speaker speech or audio data by speaker. A front-end analysis is applied to input speech data to obtain feature vectors. The speech data is initially segmented and then clustered into groups of segments that correspond to different speakers. The clusters are iteratively modeled and resegmented to obtain stable speaker segmentations. The overlap between segmentation sets is checked to ensure successful speaker segmentation. Overlapping segments are combined and remodeled and resegmented. Optionally, the speech data is processed to produce a segmentation lattice to maximize the overall segmentation likelihood.

  • Patent number: 7921068
    Abstract: The data mining platform comprises a plurality of system modules, each formed from a plurality of components. Each module has an input data component, a data analysis engine for processing the input data, an output data component for outputting the results of the data analysis, and a web server to access and monitor the other modules within the unit and to provide communication to other units. Each module processes a different type of data, for example, a first module processes microarray (gene expression) data while a second module processes biomedical literature on the Internet for information supporting relationships between genes and diseases and gene functionality. In the preferred embodiment, the data analysis engine is a kernel-based learning machine, and in particular, one or more support vector machines (SVMs).
