  • Computer implemented method of analyzing recognition results between a user and an interactive application utilizing inferred values instead of transcribed speech
    Patent number: 7873523
    Abstract: A computer implemented method of analyzing recognition results between a user in an interactive application having dialogue turns includes receiving and storing information on a computer indicative of dialogue turns between the system and at least one user. The method also utilizes a computer recognition analysis module comprising an inference module operable on a computer to associate an inferred value of a response with a turn where the inferred value is based on analyzing the received information without performing transcription of the user response within the inference module. The method also includes outputting the inferred value.
