Random confirmation in speech based systems
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A computer implemented method for speech recognition output confirmation, comprising:
- receiving an automatic speech recognition result with an associated score indicating a level of confidence with respect to the speech recognition result;
accepting a mode selection specifying when an automated confirmation is to be performed, said mode selection chosen from a group consisting of a deterministic mode, a random mode and an integrated mode, wherein the random mode comprises randomly determining whether to perform the automated confirmation;
determining, based on said accepted mode selection and said score, whether a confirmation is to be performed on the speech recognition result; and
if it is determined that said confirmation is to be performed, performing an automated confirmation to verify the automatic speech recognition result by activating a confirmation construction mechanism operatively configured to carry out a speech recognition confirmation.

Abstract
Method and system are provided for performing random confirmation in a speech system. When a speech recognition result is received with an associated confidence score indicating a level of confidence with respect to the speech recognition result, a confirmation decision is made in terms of whether a confirmation is to be carried out based on the confidence score. The confirmation decision may be made in a random confirmation mode. A confirmation may be performed when the confirmation decision is to carry out a confirmation on the speech recognition result.

10. A speech recognition output confirmation system, comprising:
-
a decision mechanism configured to decide whether a confirmation is to be performed, said decision mechanism being pre-configured to make said decision employing a mode chosen from the group consisting of a deterministic mode, a random mode, and an integrated mode, wherein the random mode comprises randomly determining whether to perform the automated confirmation to verify a speech recognition result; and a confirmation mechanism, in communication with said decision mechanism, said confirmation mechanism configured to perform the automated confirmation on the speech recognition result having an associated confidence score according to the decision made by said decision mechanism, wherein a confirmation construction mechanism carries out the automated confirmation, and generates a confirmation response. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23)
