  • Publication number: 20230177273
    Abstract: A computer-implemented method, a computer system and a computer program product enhance an intent classifier through training data augmentation. The method includes selecting a target sample from a plurality of samples. The method also includes determining an ambiguity level for the target sample based on confidence scores of at least two intent labels associated with the target sample. The method further includes selecting a nearest neighboring sample from a group of neighboring samples when the ambiguity level is below a threshold. The nearest neighboring sample includes a confidence score associated with an intent label. The method also includes, for every intent label, merging the confidence scores of the two samples into an overall confidence score for the intent label and modifying the ambiguity level using the overall confidence score. Lastly, the method includes labeling the target sample with the intent label when the modified ambiguity level is above the threshold.

  • Patent number: 9105272
    Abstract: Methods, apparatus and computer program products implement embodiments of the present invention that include receiving a time domain voice signal, and extracting a single pitch cycle from the received signal. The extracted single pitch cycle is transformed to a frequency domain, and the misclassified roots of the frequency domain are identified and corrected. Using the corrected roots, an indication of a maximum phase of the frequency domain is generated.
