  • Dynamic gazetteers for personalized entity recognition
    Patent number: 11189277
    Abstract: In speech processing systems personalization is added in the Natural Language Understanding (NLU) processor by incorporating external knowledge sources of user information to improve entity recognition performance of the speech processing system. Personalization in the NLU is effected by incorporating one or more dictionaries of entries, or gazetteers, with information personal to a respective user, that provide the user's information to permit disambiguation of semantic interpretation for input utterances to improve quality of speech processing results.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: February 13, 2019
    Date of Patent: November 30, 2021
    Assignee: Amazon Technologies, Inc.
    Inventors: Imre Attila Kiss, Arthur Richard Toth, Lambert Mathias

  • INPUT SPEECH QUALITY MATCHING
    Publication number: 20160379638
    Abstract: A system matches text-to-speech (TTS) or other output to a quality of an input spoken utterance. The system uses trained models to detect a speech quality and generates an indicator of the speech quality. The speech quality may be determined from audio or non-audio data. The indicator is sent to downstream components of the system such as a command processor or TTS system. The output of the system is then determined using the indicator of speech quality, thus customizing an output of the system to the manner in which the utterance was spoken.
