US Patent:

20140039893, Feb 6, 2014

Filed:

Jul 31, 2012

Appl. No.:

13/562733

Inventors:

Steven Weiner - Merion Station PA, US

Assignee:

SRI INTERNATIONAL - Menlo Park CA

International Classification:

G10L 17/00

US Classification:

704249, 704246, 704E17001

Abstract:

Disclosed embodiments provide for personalizing a voice user interface of a remote multi-user service. A voice user interface for the remote multi-user service can be provided and voice information from an identified user can be received at the multi-user service through the voice user interface. A language model specific to the identified user can be retrieved that models one or more language elements. The retrieved language model can be applied to interpret the received voice information and a response can be generated by the multi-user service in response the interpreted voice information.

International Classification:

G11B 27/10
G11B 27/031

US Classification:

386241

Abstract:

A computing system for identifying, describing, and sharing salient events depicted in images and videos executes feature detection algorithms on multimedia input (e.g., video and/or images). The computing system applies semantic reasoning techniques to the output of the feature detection algorithms. The computing system identifies salient event segments of the multimedia input as a result of the semantic reasoning. The computing system can incorporate the salient event segments into a visual presentation, such as a video clip. Alternatively or in addition, the computing system can generate a natural language description of the content of the multimedia input.
