  • Publication number: 20220084503
    Abstract: Implementations set forth herein relate to speech recognition techniques for handling variations in speech among users (e.g. due to different accents) and processing features of user context in order to expand a number of speech recognition hypotheses when interpreting a spoken utterance from a user. In order to adapt to an accent of the user, terms common to multiple speech recognition hypotheses can be filtered out in order to identify inconsistent terms apparent in a group of hypotheses. Mappings between inconsistent terms can be stored for subsequent users as term correspondence data. In this way, supplemental speech recognition hypotheses can be generated and subject to probability-based scoring for identifying a speech recognition hypothesis that most correlates to a spoken utterance provided by a user. In some implementations, prior to scoring, hypotheses can be supplemented based on contextual data, such as on-screen content and/or application capabilities.

  • Patent number: 9156790
    Abstract: Compounds according to formula I: wherein Ar is a fused aryl group, R1 is selected from alkyl and aryl amides, CF3, and CH2OH, and R2 is selected from hydrogen, —C(?O)CH2NH2, and —C(?O)CH2CH2NH2 are described. The compounds are effective for inhibiting p21-activated kinases, and can be used for prevention and treatment of cancer.
