As a result, audio effects that require the chord information may be substantially synchronized with the audible broadcast of the accompaniment audio. The present teachings may be especially suitable for use in karaoke systems, to correct and add sound effects to a singer's voice that sings along with a pre-recorded accompaniment track. | 2015-11-26 |

20150340024 | Language Modeling Using Entities - Among other things, this document describes a computer-implemented method. The method can include obtaining a plurality of text samples. For each of one or more text samples in the plurality of text samples, the text sample can be annotated with one or more labels that indicate respective classes to which one or more terms in the text sample are assigned, wherein annotating the text sample comprises determining that at least one term in the text sample corresponds to a first entity in a data structure of interconnected entities and determining a classification of the first entity within the data structure of interconnected entities. The method can include generating a class-based training set of text samples. A class-based language model can be trained using the class-based training set of text samples. A plurality of class-specific language models can be trained. | 2015-11-26 |
20150340025 | TERMINAL, UNLOCKING METHOD, AND PROGRAM - A terminal comprises: a speech receiving unit that receives speech in a locked state; a voiceprint authentication unit that performs voiceprint authentication based on the speech received in the locked state and determining whether or not a user is legitimate; a speech recognition unit that performs speech recognition of the speech received in the locked state; and an execution unit that executes an application using a result of the speech recognition. | 2015-11-26 |
20150340026 | EXTRACTING CANDIDATE ANSWERS FOR A KNOWLEDGE BASE FROM CONVERSATIONAL SOURCES - A method and system is provided to extract candidate utterances from conversational data. The conversational data includes a plurality of utterances and is stored in an electronic storage. A superficial property algorithm is applied to the stored conversational data. The superficial property algorithm is used to (i) search at least a portion of the stored conversational data by application of at least one superficial property of the superficial property algorithm, (ii) it is determined when the searched portion of the conversational data includes a candidate utterance, and (iii) then the portion of the conversational data which was determined to be the candidate utterance is then stored. | 2015-11-26 |
