20090089066 | RAPID AUTOMATIC USER TRAINING WITH SIMULATED BILINGUAL USER ACTIONS AND RESPONSES IN SPEECH-TO-SPEECH TRANSLATION - A system and method for automatic user training in speech-to-speech translation includes integrating an automatic user response system configured to be responsive to a plurality of training items and selecting a training item from the plurality of training items. For the selected training item, in response to an utterance in a first language, the utterance is translated into a second language, and a response to the utterance in the second language is generated. A simulated action corresponding with the response in accordance with a user speaking the second language is also generated. The response and simulated action are output as a learning exercise for learning operations of the automatic user response system. | 04-02-2009 |
20090248422 | INTRA-LANGUAGE STATISTICAL MACHINE TRANSLATION - Training data may be provided, the training data including pairs of source phrases and target phrases. The pairs may be used to train an intra-language statistical machine translation model, where the intra-language statistical machine translation model, when given an input phrase of text in the human language, can compute probabilities of semantic equivalence of the input phrase to possible translations of the input phrase in the human language. The statistical machine translation model may be used to translate between queries and listings. The queries may be text strings in the human language submitted to a search engine. The listing strings may be text strings of formal names of real world entities that are to be searched by the search engine to find matches for the query strings. | 10-01-2009 |
20090265175 | Method and system for providing a translation service for a voice channel - There is provided a method for providing a translation service for a voice channel. The method comprises receiving a translation request from a first person at a first endpoint of the voice channel, selecting a language translator based on the translation request received from the first person, and installing the language translator in the voice channel for providing the translation service between the first person at the first endpoint of the voice channel and a second person at a second endpoint of the voice channel. The translation request may include digits dialed as part of a phone number associated with the second endpoint, and wherein the translation request includes information indicative of a first language and a second language for translation. | 10-22-2009 |
20100299150 | Language Translation System - A language translation system is generally described that facilitates parties who speak different languages to communicate with one another as though each were speaking the same language on their respective communication devices. Example language translation systems include language translation components for translating from one language to another language. | 11-25-2010 |
20110218812 | Increasing the relevancy of media content - The present invention relates to increasing the relevance of media content communicated to consumers who are consuming the media content. In this regard, at least one of a personal device can be synced with a media device, each of the personal device is associated with at least one of a consumer who is proximate the media device. At least one of a preferred human language associated with at least one of the personal device can be determined. The media device or media content can be configured and or caused to be communicated in at least one of the preferred human language to increase relevance of the media content communicated to the consumer. Other embodiments can include communicating at least a portion of the media content on the personal device and selecting relevant media content based in part on language, cultural, ethnic, time, day, occasion, or geography. | 09-08-2011 |
