    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to systems and methods of an optimized data layout in an erasure coded storage system. The system may be realized as a deterministic layout of storage devices in an erasure coded storage system. The system implements a method for writing pieces of a data object across storage devices of a specified write set included an erasure coded storage subsystem. The system further implements a method for reading a subset of pieces of a data object from an active read subset of storage devices in a read set included in the erasure coded storage subsystem and restoring the data object from the subset of pieces. The system may further include operating an inactive read subset of storage devices in a read set in a low power mode.

  • Disambiguation in speech recognition
    Patent number: 9558740
    Abstract: Automatic speech recognition (ASR) processing including a feedback configuration to allow for improved disambiguation between ASR hypotheses. After ASR processing of an incoming utterance where the ASR outputs an N-best list including multiple hypotheses, the multiple hypotheses are passed downstream for further processing. The downstream further processing may include natural language understanding (NLU) or other processing to determine a command result for each hypothesis. The command results are compared to determine if any hypotheses of the N-best list would yield similar command results. If so, the hypothesis(es) with similar results are removed from the N-best list so that only one hypothesis of the similar results remains in the N-best list. The remaining non-similar hypotheses are sent for disambiguation, or, if only one hypothesis remains, it is sent for execution.

  • Disambiguation in speech recognition
    Patent number: 9484021
    Abstract: Automatic speech recognition (ASR) processing including a two-stage configuration. After ASR processing of an incoming utterance where the ASR outputs an N-best list including multiple hypotheses, a first stage determines whether to execute a command associated with one of the hypotheses or whether to output some of the hypotheses of the N-best list for disambiguation. A second stage determines what hypotheses should be included in the disambiguation choices. A first machine learning model is used at the first stage and a second machine learning model is used at the second stage. The multi-stage configuration allows for reduced speech processing errors as well as a reduced number of utterances sent for disambiguation, which thus improves the user experience.
