  • Speaker recognition
    Patent number: 10354656
    Abstract: Improvements in speaker identification and verification are provided via an attention model for speaker recognition and the end-to-end training thereof. A speaker discriminative convolutional neural network (CNN) is used to directly extract frame-level speaker features that are weighted and combined to form an utterance-level speaker recognition vector via the attention model. The CNN and attention model are join-optimized via an end-to-end training algorithm that imitates the speaker recognition process and uses the most-similar utterances from imposters for each speaker.

  • Speaker-invariant training via adversarial learning
    Patent number: 10347241
    Abstract: Systems and methods can be implemented to conduct speaker-invariant training for speech recognition in a variety of applications. An adversarial multi-task learning scheme for speaker-invariant training can be implemented, aiming at actively curtailing the inter-talker feature variability, while maximizing its senone discriminability to enhance the performance of a deep neural network (DNN) based automatic speech recognition system. In speaker-invariant training, a DNN acoustic model and a speaker classifier network can be jointly optimized to minimize the senone (triphone state) classification loss, and simultaneously mini-maximize the speaker classification loss. A speaker invariant and senone-discriminative intermediate feature is learned through this adversarial multi-task learning, which can be applied to an automatic speech recognition system. Additional systems and methods are disclosed.

  • Foldable flexible touch screen and flexible touch display panel
    Patent number: 10303312
    Abstract: A flexible touch screen fold along middle is provided. The flexible touch screen has a window region with a touch function, a folded section, and a non-window region for arranging leads. A part of the electrodes located at the folded section is made of transparent electrode material with a bending resistance. Because the electrodes of the folded section are made of the material with a bending resistance, the bending stress of the electrodes at the folded area of the flexible touch display panel can be improved, and the service life of the flexible touch display panel can be increased.
