  • Controlling offensive content in output
    Patent number: 9405741
    Abstract: Features are disclosed for recognizing inappropriate content in an output. The offensive content may be generated as a result of a speech processing error. A system may identify the inappropriate elements of a generated output and select among different appropriate alternatives. The system may be adjusted based on certain user characteristics. The system may be localized based on language and cultural features. The system may modify the generated output based on characteristics such as the tolerance threshold of known persons in the proximity of the system. The tolerance threshold may further be used to personalize and modify available content. Models used by the system may be further trained using input from a user.
