  • Publication number: 20220383853
    Abstract: A speech recognition error correction method and device, and a readable storage medium are provided. The method includes: acquiring to-be-recognized speech data and a first recognition result of the speech data, re-recognizing the speech data with reference to context information in the first recognition result to obtain a second recognition result, and determining a final recognition result based on the second recognition result. In the method, the speech data is re-recognized with reference to context information in the first recognition result, which fully considers context information in the recognition result and the application scenario of the speech data. If any error occurs in the first recognition result, the first recognition result is corrected based on the second recognition. Therefore, the accuracy of speech recognition can be improved.

  • Patent number: 11508366
    Abstract: A method, an apparatus and a device for converting a whispered speech, and a readable storage medium are provided. The method is implemented based on the whispered speech converting model. The whispered speech converting model is trained in advance by using recognition results and whispered speech training acoustic features of whispered speech training data as samples and using normal speech acoustic features of normal speech data parallel to the whispered speech training data as sample labels. A whispered speech acoustic feature and a preliminary recognition result of whispered speech data are acquired, then the whispered speech acoustic feature and the preliminary recognition result are inputted into a preset whispered speech converting model to acquire a normal speech acoustic feature outputted by the model. In this way, the whispered speech can be converted to a normal speech.

    Abstract: A labyrinth sealing device for reducing gas intrusion is provided. A sealing bush is provided with a jet hole at the front of a tooth tip gap. The jet hole faces a tip of a corresponding sealing tooth. A gas flow injected by the jet hole suppresses hot gas flowing into the tooth tip gap. The sealing bush is provided with a first intercepting member at the rear of the tooth tip gap, and the sealing tooth is provided with a second intercepting member at the rear of the tooth tip gap. The first intercepting member hinders hot gas flowing against an inner wall of the sealing bush, and the second intercepting member hinders hot gas flowing against the sealing tooth, such that a part of the hot gas flows in a reverse direction and is violently mixed with subsequent hot gas.

  • Patent number: 11346763
    Abstract: The disclosure discloses an apparatus and a method for microbial cell counting, and belongs to the field of cell counting. In the present application, by converting a traditional automated intermittent counting process into a continuous counting process, the cell sap fixed in a blood cell plate in a traditional counter becomes the cell sap flowing in a microchannel, so as to prolong the cell detection time and distance. The size of the microchannel is slightly greater than the diameter of microbial cells, so as to ensure that the cells flow through the cross section of the microchannel one by one. At the same time, since the diameter of the counterbores communicated by the microchannel is slightly greater than the width of the microchannel, the flow rate of the cell sap slows down when the cell sap flows to the counterbores.

  • Patent number: 11323807
    Abstract: An echo cancellation method based on delay estimation is provided. In the method, a microphone signal and a reference signal are received and preprocessed. In the preprocessed microphone signal and the preprocessed reference signal, frequency point signals with non-linearity in a current echo cancellation scenario are determined. A current delay estimation value is calculated based on frequency point signals without non-linearity in the microphone signal and the reference signal. The reference signal is shifted based on the current delay estimation value. An adaptive filter is updated based on the preprocessed microphone signal and the shifted reference signal, to perform echo cancellation.
