  • Publication number: 20220398474
    Abstract: A method, computer program product, and computer system for processing one or more portions of an input sequence to generate one or more candidate output sequences, thus defining a plurality of prediction scores for the candidate output sequences. One or more specialized entities may be identified from the candidate output sequences. A first scoring methodology may be applied on the candidate output sequences based upon the portions of the input sequence, thus defining a first set of prediction scores for the one or more candidate output sequences. A second scoring methodology may be applied on the specialized entities from the candidate output sequences based upon the portions of the input sequence, thus defining a second set of prediction scores for the specialized entities. The plurality of predictions scores for the specialized entities may be at least partially modified based upon the first set and the second set of prediction scores.

  • Patent number: 11270261
    Abstract: A method, computer program product, and computer system for mapping, by a computing device, an automatic speech recognition output of a conversation to a concept marker and a verbalized version of a value associated with the concept marker based upon, at least in part, the automatic speech recognition output of the conversation. The concept marker and the verbalized version of the value associated with the concept marker may be replaced with a formatted version. A plurality of user selectable format configurations of the formatted version may be provided as a textual output in a user interface.

    Abstract: A method, computer program product, and computer system for predicting responses to at least one conversational phrase. At least one conversational phrase may be received. A first probability for a subset of candidate responses of a plurality of candidate responses may be determined based upon, at least in part, context associated with the at least one conversational phrase, the at least one conversational phrase, and each context associated with the plurality of candidate responses. A second probability for the subset of candidate responses may be determined based upon, at least in part, the subset of candidate responses, the at least one conversational phrase, and the context associated with the at least one conversational phrase. At least one candidate response for the at least one conversational phrase may be determined based upon, at least in part, the first probability and the second probability.

  • Publication number: 20210035560
    Abstract: A system, method and computer-readable storage device provides an improved speech processing approach in which hyper parameters used for speech recognition are modified dynamically or in batch mode rather than fixed statically. The method includes estimating, via a model trained on audio data and/or metadata, a set of parameters useful for performing automatic speech recognition, receiving speech at an automatic speech recognition system, applying, by the automatic speech recognition system, the set of parameters to processing the speech to yield text and outputting the text from the automatic speech recognition system.
