  • Patent number: 8515734
    Abstract: An integrated language model includes an upper-level language model component and a lower-level language model component, with the upper-level language model component including a non-terminal and the lower-level language model component being applied to the non-terminal. The upper-level and lower-level language model components can be of the same or different language model formats, including finite state grammar (FSG) and statistical language model (SLM) formats. Systems and methods for making integrated language models allow designation of language model formats for the upper-level and lower-level components and identification of non-terminals. Automatic non-terminal replacement and retention criteria can be used to facilitate the generation of one or both language model components, which can include the modification of existing language models.

  • Patent number: 7680662
    Abstract: A speech recognition system (105) includes an acoustic front end (115) and a processing unit (125). The acoustic front end (115) receives frames of acoustic data and determines cepstral coefficients for each of the received frames. The processing unit (125) determines a number of peaks in the cepstral coefficients for each of the received frames of acoustic data and compares the peaks in the cepstral coefficients of a first one of the received frames with the peaks in the cepstral coefficients of at least a second one of the received frames. The processing unit (125) then segments the received frames of acoustic data based on the comparison.

  • Publication number: 20090030685
    Abstract: Speech recorded by an audio capture facility of a navigation facility is processed by a speech recognition facility to generate results that are provided to the navigation facility. When information related to a navigation application running on the navigation facility are provided to the speech recognition facility, the results generated are based at least in part on the application related information. The speech recognition facility uses an unstructured language model for generating results. The user of the navigation facility may optionally be allowed to edit the results being provided to the navigation facility. The speech recognition facility may also adapt speech recognition based on usage of the results.
