  • Publication number: 20250054492
    Abstract: A method for improving the accuracy of speech recognition is disclosed. In one embodiment, such a method receives speech input from a user. The method further receives background inputs describing at least one of a webpage and an application from which the speech input was received. The method determines a language associated with the speech input and determines a weight and confidence level for each of the background inputs. A score is calculated for each of the background inputs based on the corresponding weight and confidence level. The method determines textual candidates for output in response to the speech input and ranks the textual candidates using a function that takes into account the scores and/or confidence levels of the background inputs. The textual candidate with the highest ranking may be returned to the user. A corresponding system and computer program product are also disclosed.

  • Publication number: 20240095467
    Abstract: Translating applications to a target language includes extracting program integrated information (PII) to be translated and creating translation context datasets based on interpretation of accessibility information associated with particular strings of PII. Translation pairs include PII and corresponding context datasets for context-based translation of application components. A two-stage index contains PII strings for first stage lookup and context datasets for distinguishing duplicate PII strings as a second stage lookup. Real-time translation is facilitated by the two-stage index, which is established by translation pairs and resulting translations.

  • Publication number: 20240069912
    Abstract: A method for identifying hard-coded strings in source code is disclosed. In one embodiment, such a method parses source code and associated localization resource files to identify hard-coded strings and their associated context. The method provides a confidence score for each hard-coded string that indicates whether the hard-coded string is translatable or non-translatable. Based on the confidence score for each hard-coded string, the method transforms each hard-coded string into a single equivalence word. The method then prepares training data by tagging the hard-coded strings in the source code and associated localization resource files as one of translatable and non-translatable. The method then trains a parts-of-speech (POS) tagging model using the training data. At runtime, the method fetches potential hard-coded strings and tags each hard-coded string as one of translatable and non-translatable using the POS tagging model. A corresponding system and computer program product are also disclosed.

  • Patent number: 11809847
    Abstract: One or more computer processors identify a string within source code associated with a program integrated interface (PII). The one or more computer processors compare the identified string to a string entry comprised in a PII dictionary. The one or more computer processors, responsive to a match between the identified string and the string entry in the PII dictionary, classify the identified string as translatable or non-translatable based on a classification associated with the string entry. The one or more computer processors, responsive to a non-match between the identified string and the string entry in the PII dictionary, classify the identified string as translatable or non-translatable utilizing a hyperplane model trained with a margin (C) derived from unlimited search. The one or more computer processors, responsive to a classified translatable string, translate the classified translatable string.
