Abstract: Systems, methods, devices, and other techniques are described herein for determining dialog states that correspond to voice inputs and for biasing a language model based on the determined dialog states. In some implementations, a method includes receiving, at a computing system, audio data that indicates a voice input and determining a particular dialog state, from among a plurality of dialog states, which corresponds to the voice input. A set of n-grams can be identified that are associated with the particular dialog state that corresponds to the voice input. In response to identifying the set of n-grams that are associated with the particular dialog state that corresponds to the voice input, a language model can be biased by adjusting probability scores that the language model indicates for n-grams in the set of n-grams. The voice input can be transcribed using the adjusted language model.

Abstract: A sample is separated by a first separator into constituent analytes over a time parameter. The constituent analytes are analysed by a mass spectrometer, which provides intensity measurements against mass-to-charge ratio for each constituent analyte. A relationship of the measured intensity at a mass-to-charge ratio over the time parameter for each constituent analyte defines a respective peak. A peak quality factor may be determined for each of the peaks and/or a common peak position in respect of the time parameter may be determined for at least some of the peaks. A specific range for a time parameter to be used for quantifying the substance may be based on the peak quality factor (or factors). Alternatively, a subset of the peaks may be selected for quantification of the substance, based on the determined peak quality factors and/or the determined common peak position.

At each of a plurality of output steps for each training utterance pair in the set of training utterance pairs, the method also includes determining a consistent loss term for the corresponding training utterance pair based on a first probability distribution over possible non-synthetic speech recognition hypotheses generated for the corresponding non-synthetic speech representation and a second probability distribution over possible synthetic speech recognition hypotheses generated for the corresponding synthetic speech representation. The first and second probability distributions are generated for output by the speech recognition model.
