Abstract: Systems and methods may be used to provide transcription and translation services. A method may include initializing a plurality of user devices with respective language output selections in a translation group by receiving a shared identifier from the plurality of user devices and transcribing the audio stream to transcribed text. The method may include translating the transcribed text to one or more of the respective language output selections when an original language of the transcribed text differs from the one or more of the respective language output selections. The method may include sending, a user device in the translation group, the transcribed text including translated text in a language corresponding to the respective language output selection for the user device. In an example, the method may include customizing the transcription or the translation, such as to a particular topic, location, user, or the like.

Abstract: Various systems and methods for multi-talker speech separation and recognition are disclosed herein. In one example, a system includes a memory and a processor to process mixed speech audio received from a microphone. In an example, the processor can also separate the mixed speech audio using permutation invariant training, wherein a criterion of the permutation invariant training is defined on an utterance of the mixed speech audio. In an example, the processor can also generate a plurality of separated streams for submission to a speech decoder.

Abstract: Conversational virtual assistance for delivering relevant query solutions is provided. A virtual assistant system comprises various components associated with developing a knowledge database that can be searched for finding documents that fulfill the user's intent. The virtual assistant system further comprises components for receiving a query from a user, extracting entities for understanding the user's intent, and for searching a knowledge database for documents responsive to the query. When additional information is needed for determining more relevant results, a conversation strategy is determined, and a question is formulated for generating a conversation with the user for clarifying the user's intent, confirming a solution, or obtaining additional information. The user is enabled to provide a follow-up response that is related to a previously identified entity. The entity is edited in the query, and responses are refined responsive to the edited query.

Abstract: Techniques and architectures may be used to generate and perform a process using weighted finite-state transducers involving generic input search graphs. The process need not pursue theoretical optimality and instead search graphs may be optimized without an a priori optimization step. The process may result in an automatic speech recognition (ASR) decoder that is substantially faster than ASR decoders the include the optimization step.

Abstract: Methods, apparatuses, computer program products, devices and systems are described that carry out accepting at least one indication of an interaction involving at least one member of a network; creating a persona corresponding to the at least one member of a network, wherein the persona is at least partly based on the indication of an interaction; and presenting the persona for use in the interaction involving the at least one member of the network.

Abstract: The subject disclosure is directed towards developing a translation model for mapping search query terms to document-related data. By processing user logs comprising search histories into word-aligned query-document pairs, the translation model may be trained using data, such as probabilities, corresponding to the word-aligned query-document pairs. After incorporating the translation model into model data for a search engine, the translation model is used may used as features for producing relevance scores for current search queries and ranking documents/advertisements according to relevance.
