    Abstract: Described is a calibration model for use in a speech recognition system. The calibration model adjusts the confidence scores output by a speech recognition engine to thereby provide an improved calibrated confidence score for use by an application. The calibration model is one that has been trained for a specific usage scenario, e.g., for that application, based upon a calibration training set obtained from a previous similar/corresponding usage scenario or scenarios. Different calibration models may be used with different usage scenarios, e.g., during different conditions. The calibration model may comprise a maximum entropy classifier with distribution constraints, trained with continuous raw confidence scores and multi-valued word tokens, and/or other distributions and extracted features.

  • RECURRENT CONDITIONAL RANDOM FIELDS
    Publication number: 20150161101
    Abstract: Recurrent conditional random field (R-CRF) embodiments are described. In one embodiment, the R-CFR receives feature values corresponding to a sequence of words. Semantic labels for words in the sequence of words are then generated and each label is assigned to the appropriate one of the words in the sequence of words. The R-CRF used to accomplish these tasks includes a recurrent neural network (RNN) portion and a conditional random field (CRF) portion. The RNN portion receives feature values associated with a word in the sequence of words and outputs RNN activation layer activations data that is indicative of a semantic label. The CRF portion inputs the RNN activation layer activations data output from the RNN for one or more words in the sequence of words and outputs label data that is indicative of a separate semantic label that is to be assigned to each of the words.

  • Learning processes for single hidden layer neural networks with linear output units
    Patent number: 8918352
    Abstract: Learning processes for a single hidden layer neural network, including linear input units, nonlinear hidden units, and linear output units, calculate the lower-layer network parameter gradients by taking into consideration a solution for the upper-layer network parameters. The upper-layer network parameters are calculated by a closed form formula given the lower-layer network parameters. An accelerated gradient algorithm can be used to update the lower-layer network parameters. A weighted gradient also can be used. With the combination of these techniques, accelerated training with faster convergence, to a point with a lower error rate, can be obtained.
