  • Patent number: 10614173
    Abstract: The disclosed subject matter provides a system, computer readable storage medium, and a method providing an audio and textual transcript of a communication. A conferencing services may receive audio or audio visual signals from a plurality of different devices that receive voice communications from participants in a communication, such as a chat or teleconference. The audio signals representing voice (speech) communications input into respective different devices by the participants. A translation services server may receive over a separate communication channel the audio signals for translation into a second language. As managed by the translation services server, the audio signals may be converted into textual data. The textual data may be translated into text of different languages based the language preferences of the end user devices in the teleconference. The translated text may be further translated into audio signals.

  • Patent number: 9569431
    Abstract: The present disclosure describes a teleconferencing system that may use a virtual participant processor to translate language content of the teleconference into each participant's spoken language without additional user inputs. The virtual participant processor may connect to the teleconference as do the other participants. The virtual participant processor may intercept all text or audio data that was previously exchanged between the participants may now be intercepted by the virtual participant processor. Upon obtaining a partial or complete language recognition result or making a language preference determination, the virtual participant processor may call a translation engine appropriate for each of the participants. The virtual participant processor may send the resulting translation to a teleconference management processor. The teleconference management processor may deliver the respective translated text or audio data to the appropriate participant.

  • Patent number: 8812517
    Abstract: A way of detecting a watermark present in a structured result, such as a search result or a machine translation. The structured result is received and a hash is computed based upon at least part of the result. The resulting bit sequence is tested against a null hypothesis that the bit sequence was generated by a random variable with a binomial distribution with a parameter p=0.5. The result of this test is compared to a significance level, which indicates whether the structured result is watermarked.

  • Patent number: 8788507
    Abstract: A way of generating a watermark for a structured result, such as a search result or a machine translation. A hash function is used to generate a bit sequence for each of a plurality of structured results. A ranking score is generated for each resulting bit sequence. The ranking score can be based on the detectability of the bit sequence compared to a randomly-generated bit sequence and the quality of each of the structured results. A structured result is selected as the watermarked structured result based upon the ranking score.

  • Patent number: 8612204
    Abstract: Computer-implemented techniques include receiving a phrase in a first language and obtaining a corpus comprising a plurality of phrases in the first language and word reordering information for the plurality of phrases, the word reordering information indicating a correct word order for each phrase in a second language. Word-to-word correspondences between each of the phrases in the first language and the corresponding correct word order for the phrase in the second language are identified and at least one tree that allows for the identified word-to-word correspondences is generated. Based upon the at least one tree, a statistical model for reordering from a word order that is correct for the first language to a word order that is correct for the second language is created. Based upon the statistical model, a reordered phrase from the received phrase is generated, the reordered phrase having a correct word order for the second language.
