  • Patent number: 12300217
    Abstract: Systems and methods for speech recognition correction include receiving a voice recognition input from an individual user and using a trained error correction model to add a new alternative result to a results list based on the received voice input processed by a voice recognition system. The error correction model is trained using contextual information corresponding to the individual user. The contextual information comprises a plurality of historical user correction logs, a plurality of personal class definitions, and an application context. A re-ranker re-ranks the results list with the new alternative result and a top result from the re-ranked results list is output.

  • Patent number: 12087286
    Abstract: A computing system obtains features that have been extracted from an acoustic signal, where the acoustic signal comprises spoken words uttered by a user. The computing system performs automatic speech recognition (ASR) based upon the features and a language model (LM) generated based upon expanded pattern data. The expanded pattern data includes a name of an entity and a search term, where the entity belongs to a segment identified in a knowledge base. The search term has been included in queries for entities belonging to the segment. The computing system identifies a sequence of words corresponding to the features based upon results of the ASR. The computing system transmits computer-readable text to a search engine, where the text includes the sequence of words.

  • Patent number: 11620992
    Abstract: A method of enhancing an automated speech recognition confidence classifier includes receiving a set of baseline confidence features from one or more decoded words, deriving word embedding confidence features from the baseline confidence features, joining the baseline confidence features with word embedding confidence features to create a feature vector, and executing the confidence classifier to generate a confidence score, wherein the confidence classifier is trained with a set of training examples having labeled features corresponding to the feature vector.
