  • Patent number: 9818431
    Abstract: The technology described herein uses a multiple-output layer RNN to process an acoustic signal comprising speech from multiple speakers to trace an individual speaker's speech. The multiple-output layer RNN has multiple output layers, each of which is meant to trace one speaker (or noise) and represent the mask for that speaker (or noise). The output layer for each speaker (or noise) can have the same dimensions and can be normalized for each output unit across all output layers. The rest of the layers in the multiple-output layer RNN are shared across all the output layers. The result from the previous frame is used as input to the output layer or to one of the hidden layers of the RNN to calculate results for the current frame. This pass back of results allows the model to carry information from previous frames to future frames to trace the same speaker.

  • Publication number: 20170308789
    Abstract: Techniques and constructs can reduce the time required to determine solutions to optimization problems such as training of neural networks. Modifications to a computational model can be determined by a plurality of nodes operating in parallel. Quantized modification values can be transmitted between the nodes to reduce the volume of data to be transferred. The quantized values can be as small as one bit each. Quantization-error values can be stored and used in quantizing subsequent modifications. The nodes can operate in parallel and overlap computation and data transfer to further reduce the time required to determine solutions. The quantized values can be partitioned and each node can aggregate values for a corresponding partition.

  • Patent number: 9779727
    Abstract: The claimed subject matter includes a system and method for recognizing mixed speech from a source. The method includes training a first neural network to recognize the speech signal spoken by the speaker with a higher level of a speech characteristic from a mixed speech sample. The method also includes training a second neural network to recognize the speech signal spoken by the speaker with a lower level of the speech characteristic from the mixed speech sample. Additionally, the method includes decoding the mixed speech sample with the first neural network and the second neural network by optimizing the joint likelihood of observing the two speech signals considering the probability that a specific frame is a switching point of the speech characteristic.

  • Publication number: 20170236056
    Abstract: Systems and methods for providing a predictive framework are provided. The predictive framework comprises plural neural layers of adaptable, executable neurons. Neurons accept one or more input signals and produce an output signal that may be used by an upper-level neural layer. Input signals are received by an encoding neural layer, where there is a 1:1 correspondence between an input signal and an encoding neuron. Input signals for a set of data are received at the encoding layer and processed successively by the plurality of neural layers. An objective function utilizes the output signals of the topmost neural layer to generate predictive results for the data set according to an objective. In one embodiment, the objective is to determine the likelihood of user interaction with regard to a specific item of content in a set of search results, or the likelihood of user interaction with regard to any item of content in a set of search results.
