Abstract:
Speech models are trained using one or more of three different training systems. They include competitive training which reduces a distance between a recognized result and a true result, data boosting which divides and weights training data, and asymmetric training which trains different model components differently.

Abstract:
Some embodiments of an infusion pump system may include an occlusion sensor that can be used to detect when an occlusion exists in the fluid path between the medicine reservoir and the infusion site on the user's skin. Such an occlusion may occur, for example, when the fluid flow line (e. g. , a cannula, infusion set tubing, or the like) is kinked. If the medicine dispensation path to the user is occluded, the user may receive no dosage or a lower dosage of the medicine. As such, the occlusion sensor can be used to indicate when the fluid is flowing or not flowing, thereby permitting the infusion pump system to communicate an alarm to the user if an occlusion exists.
Adaptation Of Language Models And Context Free Grammar In Speech Recognition
Architecture is disclosed herewith for minimizing an empirical error rate by discriminative adaptation of a statistical language model in a dictation and/or dialog application. The architecture allows assignment of an improved weighting value to each term or phrase to reduce empirical error. Empirical errors are minimized whether a user provides correction results or not based on criteria for discriminatively adapting the user language model (LM)/context-free grammar (CFG) to the target. Moreover, algorithms are provided for the training and adaptation processes of LM/CFG parameters for criteria optimization.
A seal structure is provided for an energy storage device. The seal structure includes a sealing glass joining an ion-conducting first ceramic to an electrically insulating second ceramic. The sealing glass has a composition that includes about 48 weight percent silica, about 20 weight percent to about 25 weight percent boria, about 20 weight percent to about 24 weight percent alumina, and about 8 weight percent to about 12 weight percent sodium oxide based on the total weight of the sealing glass composition. A method for making the seal structure is provided. An article comprising the seal structure is also provided.

Abstract:
Described is noise reduction technology generally for speech input in which a noise-suppression related gain value for the frame is determined based upon a noise level associated with that frame in addition to the signal to noise ratios (SNRs). In one implementation, a noise reduction mechanism is based upon minimum mean square error, Mel-frequency cepstra noise reduction technology. A high gain value (e. g. , one) is set to accomplish little or no noise suppression when the noise level is below a threshold low level, and a low gain value set or computed to accomplish large noise suppression above a threshold high noise level. A noise-power dependent function, e. g. , a log-linear interpolation, is used to compute the gain between the thresholds. Smoothing may be performed by modifying the gain value based upon a prior frame's gain value. Also described is learning parameters used in noise reduction via a step-adaptive discriminative learning algorithm.

International Classification:
G10L 15/20
US Classification:
704233, 704226, 704256
Abstract:
A speech recognition system includes a receiver component that receives a distorted speech utterance. The speech recognition also includes an adaptor component that selectively adapts parameters of a compressed model used to recognize at least a portion of the distorted speech utterance, wherein the adaptor component selectively adapts the parameters of the compressed model based at least in part upon the received distorted speech utterance.
