  • Publication number: 20230419950
    Abstract: A method, system, and computer program product for automated artificial intelligence (AI) factsheet generation for modeling and model customization in speech to text (STT) services. The method receives audio data for a user. The audio data contains human speech. Text data is generated, using a first speech to text model, to represent the human speech of the audio data. A set of transcription errors of the first speech to text model are identified. A set of AI factsheets are generated to describe model metadata for the first speech to text model. Based on the set of transcription errors and the set of AI factsheets, the method generates a second speech to text model customized to the user.

  • Publication number: 20230360643
    Abstract: An automatic speech recognition (ASR) computing system and methodology are provided to predict a textual representation of received input speech data. A context acoustic biasing (CAB) engine of the ASR computing system receives historical textual content and an ontology data structure. The CAB engine matches key terms identified in the historical textual content with concepts present in the ontology data structure to generate a contextual term list data structure comprising the concept terms related to concepts matching the key terms. The CAB engine generates acoustic representations of the concept terms in the contextual term list data structure and inputs them to an ASR computer model of the ASR computing system which processes an input speech signal to generate a predicted textual representation of the input speech signal. The predicted textual representation is biased towards the acoustic representations of the concept terms in the contextual term list data structure.

  • Patent number: 11208226
    Abstract: A computer-implemented wardrobe packing method, system, and a computer program product, include selecting a plurality of items stored in a memory to pack into a container, generating a packing order of the plurality of items based on packing preference data and item data stored in the memory, creating and displaying a video of step-by-step packing instructions for the plurality of items in the packing order, monitoring and comparing an actual packing process to a generated packing order, and controlling the displaying of a step of the step-by-step packing instructions, in response to the monitoring and comparing.

  • Patent number: 10810246
    Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure relate to automated ontology refinement based on query inputs and provided feedback. A query input is received for an ontology. Features of the query input are analyzed, wherein analyzation includes determining syntactical and semantic characteristics of the features of the query input. Based on the determined syntactical and semantic characteristics, ontological elements are classified for each feature of the query input. The ontological element for each feature of the query input is then compared to a set of ontological elements of the ontology. Based on the comparison, a response to the query input is received, along with a request for feedback regarding the response. Feedback is then received regarding the response. Based on the feedback, the ontology is analyzed to determine at least one deficiency of the ontology. The ontology is then refined to correct the at least one deficiency.

  • Patent number: 10621166
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and computer program products for carrying out interactive dialog in natural language using an ontology are provided herein. A computer-implemented method includes generating one or more domain-driven interpretations of a natural language dialogue query provided by a user via utilization of a web ontology language; determining multiple structured base queries, from among a stored collection of structured queries, that correspond to the natural language dialogue query, in view of the one or more generated domain-driven interpretations; selecting one of the multiple determined structured base queries, based on one or more items of context information pertaining to the dialogue; automatically generating a response to the selected structured base query; and outputting the generated response to the user.

  • Patent number: 10169336
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and computer program products for translating structured languages to natural language using domain-specific ontology are provided herein. A computer-implemented method includes determining similarities among multiple natural language query interpretations derived from an input query, determining differences among the multiple natural language query interpretations, and generating natural language descriptions of each of the multiple natural language query interpretations based on analysis of the determined similarities, the determined differences, and the input query. The method also includes producing, for each of the natural language query interpretations, a natural language string that represents one or more unambiguous interpretations of the input query, wherein the producing comprises consolidating the generated natural language descriptions. Further, the method includes outputting each of the produced natural language strings to a user.
