  • Publication number: 20220392432
    Abstract: Systems and methods for speech recognition correction include receiving a voice recognition input from an individual user and using a trained error correction model to add a new alternative result to a results list based on the received voice input processed by a voice recognition system. The error correction model is trained using contextual information corresponding to the individual user. The contextual information comprises a plurality of historical user correction logs, a plurality of personal class definitions, and an application context. A re-ranker re-ranks the results list with the new alternative result and a top result from the re-ranked results list is output.

  • Patent number: 9672202
    Abstract: Various components provide options to re-format an input based on one or more contexts. The input is received that has been submitted to an application (e.g., messaging application, mobile application, word-processing application, web browser, search tool, etc.), and one or more outputs are identified that are possibilities to be provided as options for re-formatting. A respective score of each output is determined by applying a statistical model to a respective combination of the input and each output, the respective score comprising a plurality of context scores that quantify a plurality of contexts of the respective combination. Exemplary contexts include historical-user contexts, domain contexts, and general contexts. One or more suggested outputs are selected from among the one or more outputs based on the respective scores and are provided as options to re-format the input.

  • Patent number: 9460081
    Abstract: Examples of the present disclosure describe generation of a multi-arc confusion network to improve, for example, an ability to return alternatives to output generated. A confusion network comprising token representations of lexicalized hypotheses and normalized hypotheses is generated. Each arc of the confusion network represents a token of a lexicalized hypothesis or a normalized hypothesis. The confusion network is transformed into a multi-arc confusion network, wherein the transforming comprising realigning at least one token of the confusion network to span multiple arcs of the confusion network. Other examples are also described.
