  • Creating a language model for a language processing system
    Patent number: 7286978
    Abstract: A method for creating a language model from a task-independent corpus is provided. In one embodiment, a task dependent unified language model is created. The unified language model includes a plurality of context-free grammars having non-terminals and a hybrid N-gram model having at least some of the same non-terminals embedded therein.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: April 11, 2006
    Date of Patent: October 23, 2007
    Assignee: Microsoft Corporation
    Inventors: Xuedong D. Huang, Milind V. Mahajan, Ye-Yi Wang, Xiaolong Mou

  • Use of a unified language model
    Patent number: 7016830
    Abstract: A language processing system includes a unified language model. The unified language model comprises a plurality of context-free grammars having non-terminal tokens representing semantic or syntactic concepts and terminals, and an N-gram language model having non-terminal tokens. A language processing module capable of receiving an input signal indicative of language accesses the unified language model to recognize the language. The language processing module generates hypotheses for the received language as a function of words of the unified language model and/or provides an output signal indicative of the language and at least some of the semantic or syntactic concepts contained therein.
