20090214117 | HANDWRITING SYMBOL RECOGNITION ACCURACY USING SPEECH INPUT - Described is a bimodal data input technology by which handwriting recognition results are combined with speech recognition results to improve overall recognition accuracy. Handwriting data and speech data corresponding to mathematical symbols are received and processed (including being recognized) into respective graphs. A fusion mechanism uses the speech graph to enhance the handwriting graph, e.g., to better distinguish between similar handwritten symbols that are often misrecognized. The graphs include nodes representing symbols, and arcs between the nodes representing probability scores. When arcs in the first and second graphs are determined to match one another, such as aligned in time and associated with corresponding symbols, the probability score in the second graph for that arc is used to adjust the matching probability score in the first graph. Normalization and smoothing may be performed to correspond the graphs to one another and to control the influence of one graph on the other. | 08-27-2009 |
20090324082 | CHARACTER AUTO-COMPLETION FOR ONLINE EAST ASIAN HANDWRITING INPUT - An exemplary method includes receiving stroke information for a partially written East Asian character, the East Asian character representable by one or more radicals; based on the stroke information, selecting a radical on a prefix tree wherein the prefix tree branches to East Asian characters as end states; identifying one or more East Asian characters as end states that correspond to the selected radical for the partially written East Asian character; and receiving user input to verify that one of the identified one or more East Asian characters is the end state for the partially written East Asian character.

20100082345 | SPEECH AND TEXT DRIVEN HMM-BASED BODY ANIMATION SYNTHESIS - An “Animation Synthesizer” uses trainable probabilistic models, such as Hidden Markov Models (HMM), Artificial Neural Networks (ANN), etc., to provide speech and text driven body animation synthesis. Probabilistic models are trained using synchronized motion and speech inputs (e.g., live or recorded audio/video feeds) at various speech levels, such as sentences, phrases, words, phonemes, sub-phonemes, etc., depending upon the available data, and the motion type or body part being modeled. The Animation Synthesizer then uses the trainable probabilistic model for selecting animation trajectories for one or more different body parts (e.g., face, head, hands, arms, etc.) based on an arbitrary text and/or speech input. These animation trajectories are then used to synthesize a sequence of animations for digital avatars, cartoon characters, computer generated anthropomorphic persons or creatures, actual motions for physical robots, etc., that are synchronized with a speech output corresponding to the text and/or speech input. | 04-01-2010 |
