20180330715 | FOREIGN LANGUAGE READING AND DISPLAYING DEVICE AND A METHOD THEREOF, MOTION LEARNING DEVICE BASED ON FOREIGN LANGUAGE RHYTHM DETECTION SENSOR AND MOTION LEARNING METHOD, ELECTRONIC RECORDING MEDIUM, AND LEARNING MATERIAL - A foreign language reading and displaying device and a method thereof, a motion learning device based on a foreign language rhythm detection sensor and a motion learning method, includes generating the phonemes corresponding to a syllable of the separated foreign language phonemes into one native language phonemes from among consonants and vowels in accordance with a predetermined pronunciation rules, combining the generated native language phonemes in accordance with a foreign language combination rules to generate and display native language syllables, words, and sentences, and displaying a part of the separated foreign language phonemes not corresponding to a syllable of a foreign language word as a foreign language phoneme according to a predetermined foreign language pronunciation rule; and displaying at least one of the native language sentence and the inputted foreign language sentence on a screen. | 2018-11-15 |
20180330716 | SOUND COLLECTION APPARATUS, SOUND COLLECTION METHOD, SOUND COLLECTION PROGRAM, DICTATION METHOD, INFORMATION PROCESSING APPARATUS, AND RECORDING MEDIUM RECORDING INFORMATION PROCESSING PROGRAM - A sound collection apparatus includes: a sound collection unit including a microphone configured to collect sound; and a recording unit configured to record a personal dictionary used in voice recognition processing at dictation of voice collected by the sound collection unit. The sound collection apparatus further includes: a control unit configured to control provision of the personal dictionary to an information processing apparatus configured to execute dictation of voice collected by the sound collection unit; and a communication unit configured to transmit voice collected by the sound collection unit to the information processing apparatus and transmit, under control of the control unit, the personal dictionary to the information processing apparatus. This configuration achieves improved voice recognition performance even when a computer other than an exclusively used personal computer is used. | 2018-11-15 |
20180330717 | SPEECH RECOGNITION BY SELECTING AND REFINING HOT WORDS - Speech recognition is performed by receiving a speech signal that includes spoken phones. A dynamic time warping procedure is applied to the received speech signal to generate a time-warped signal. The time-warped signal is compared to a plurality of stored reference patterns to identify a set of stored reference patterns that are most similar to the time-warped signal. A candidate hot word is selected from a list using the identified set of stored reference patterns. The selection of the candidate hot word is then refined. | 2018-11-15 |
20180330718 | System and Method for End-to-End speech recognition - A speech recognition system includes an input device to receive voice sounds, one or more processors, and one or more storage devices storing parameters and program modules including instructions executable by the one or more processors. The instructions includes extracting an accoustic feature sequence from audio waveform data converted from the voice sounds encoding the acoustic feature sequence into a hidden vector sequence using an encoder network having encoder network parameters, predicting first output label sequence probabilities by feeding the hidden vector sequence to a decoder network having decoder network parameters, predicting second output label sequence probabilities by a connectionist temporal classification (CTC) module using CTC network parameters and the hidden vector sequence from the encoder network, and searching, using a label sequence search module, for an output label sequence having a highest sequence probability by combining the first and second output label sequence probabilities provided from the decoder network and the CTC module. | 2018-11-15 |
