Authoring speech grammars
TLDR
In this paper, a method and apparatus for automatically forming a grammar is provided for automatically constructing a rule in the grammar, which is then generated automatically based in part on the n-grams.Abstract:
A method and apparatus are provided for automatically forming a grammar. Example text strings are received and N-grams are formed based on the text strings. A rule in the grammar is then generated automatically based in part on the n-grams.read more

Method and apparatus for building an intelligent automated assistant
Adam Cheyer,Didier Rene Guzzoni +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a method for building an automated assistant includes interfacing a service-oriented architecture that includes a plurality of remote services to an active ontology, where the active ontologies includes at least one active processing element that models a domain.
Patent
Crowd sourcing information to fulfill user requests
TL;DR: In this article, a failure to provide a satisfactory response to a user request is detected and information relevant to the user request was crowd-sourced by querying one or more crowd sourcing information sources.

Intelligent automated assistant for tv user interactions
Marcel van Os,Harry J. Saddler,Lia T. Napolitano,Jonathan H. Russell,Patrick M. Lister,Rohit Dasari +5 more
TL;DR: In this article, a virtual assistant can interact with a television set-top box to control content shown on a television and execute tasks according to the user's intent, including causing playback of media on the television.
Patent
Using predictive user models for language modeling on a personal device with user behavior models based on statistical modeling
TL;DR: In this paper, a system and method for predicting a user goal for command/control of a personal device (e.g., mobile phone) is provided, which employs statistical model(s) that can predict a command based, at least in part, on past user behavior (i.e., probability distribution over a set of predicates, and, optionally arguments).

An Empirical Study of Smoothing Techniques for Language Modeling
TL;DR: The authors presented an extensive empirical comparison of several smoothing techniques in the domain of language modeling, including those described by Jelinek and Mercer (1980), Katz (1987), and Church and Gale (1991).

Phrase-based dialogue modeling with particular application to creating recognition grammars for voice-controlled user interfaces
Farzad Ehsani,Eva M. Knodt +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, a phrase-based modeling of generic structures of verbal interaction is proposed for the purpose of automating part of the design of grammar networks, which can regulate, control, and define the content and scope of human-machine interaction in natural language voice user interfaces.
Patent
Automatic clustering of tokens from a corpus for grammar acquisition
TL;DR: In this paper, a method of learning grammar from a corpus, context words are identified from the corpus, and for the other non-context words, the method counts the occurrence of predetermined relationships which the context words, and maps the counted occurrences to a multidimensional frequency space.
Patent
Automated grammar generator (AGG)
TL;DR: In this paper, an automated grammar generator is disclosed, which is operable to receive a speech or text segment, and identifies one or more parts of the segment suitable for processing into a natural language expression.

Use of semantic inference and context-free grammar with speech recognition system
TL;DR: In this paper, a method and apparatus to use semantic inference with speech recognition systems includes recognizing at least one spoken word, processing the spoken word using a context free grammar, deriving an output from the context-free grammar, and translating the output to a predetermined command.
