Abstract: A speaker identification system (“system”) automatically assigns a speaker to voiced segments in a call. The system identifies one or more speakers in a call using one or more speaker-identification parameters. The system processes the call to determine one or more speaker-identification parameters, such as a transcript of the call, a facial image of the speaker, a scene image, which is an image of a scene in which the speaker is located during the call, or textual data associated with the call such as names of the speaker or an organization that are retrieved from the scene images or video data of the call. The system analyzes one or more of the speaker-identification parameters and determines the identity of the speaker. The system then identifies the voice segments associated with the identified speaker and marks the voice segments with the identity of the speaker.

Abstract: Technologies for natural language request processing include a computing device having a semantic compiler to generate a semantic model based on a corpus of sample requests. The semantic compiler may generate the semantic model by extracting contextual semantic features or processing ontologies. The computing device generates a semantic representation of a natural language request by generating a lattice of candidate alternative representations, assigning a composite weight to each candidate, and finding the best route through the lattice. The composite weight may include semantic weights, phonetic weights, and/or linguistic weights. The semantic representation identifies a user intent and slots associated with the natural language request. The computing device may perform one or more dialog interactions based on the semantic request, including generating a request for additional information or suggesting additional user intents.

Abstract: System and techniques for direct motion sensor input to rendering pipeline are described herein. A ranked list of ASR hypotheses may be obtained. A set of ASR hypotheses may be selected from the list. The set of ASR hypothesis may be re-ranked using semantic coherence scoring between words in the ASR hypotheses. An ASR hypothesis from the set of ASR hypotheses with a highest re-rank may be outputted.

Abstract: The present invention provides a corpus-independent method for determining relevancy of terms to content of text appearing in a document by analyzing the document itself. Conventional information extraction, or other methods, may be applied to a document to generate a list of terms. The invention analyzes the document using relevancy scoring algorithms to determine a term relevancy score representing the term's relevance to the text contained in the document. The scores, including an aggregate score, may be normalized in the process. Based on relevancy scoring, terms are then ranked and further processed. In this manner relevancy is determined based on the subject document itself and by analyzing the occurrences and locations of the terms within the document. Additional techniques may be applied to relate the relevancy scores generated by the present invention to a corpus or collection of documents.
