  • METHODS AND APPARATUS FOR EXTRACTING ALTERNATE MEDIA TITLES TO FACILITATE SPEECH RECOGNITION
    Publication number: 20110231189
    Abstract: Techniques for generating a set of one or more alternate titles associated with stored digital media content and updating a speech recognition system to enable the speech recognition system to recognize the set of alternate titles. The system operates on an original media title to extract a set of alternate media titles by applying at least one rule to the original title. The extracted set of alternate media titles are used to update the speech recognition system prior to runtime. In one aspect rules that are applied to original titles are determined by analyzing a corpus of original titles and corresponding possible alternate media titles that a user may use to refer to the original titles.
