A translation service is disclosed, the service being provided to a wireless mobile device through a selective downloading of information from a server. The downloaded information includes a translation architecture having a language independent translation engine and at least one language dependent translation database. The language dependent translation database includes translation templates and a translation dictionary. A specialized database for a selected city or cities in the world can also be downloaded. Translation between languages is realized by applying the language dependent translation database, and optionally the city specific translation database, to the translation engine. The translation engine implements a user-driven term replacement scheme for simplifying the translation process.

A method for training acoustic models for a new target language is provided using a phonetic table, which characterizes the phones, used in one or more reference language(s) with respect to their articulatory properties; a phonetic table, which characterizes the phones used in the target language with respect to their articulatory properties; a set of trained monophones for the reference language(s); and a database of sentences in the target language and its phonetic transcription. With these inputs, the new method completely and automatically takes care of the steps of monophone seeding and triphone clustering and machine intensive training steps involved in triphone acoustic training.

A script-based application generation for spreadsheet software reads from one or more spreadsheets rendered by a spreadsheet program, description written in said text-based language, the text-based language for describing user interfaces, data models and / or workflow models or combinations thereof. The text-based language is independent of the spreadsheet program. The description is parsed and from the description one or more user interfaces, data model or workflow model or combinations thereof are generated in the spreadsheet program.

A method and computer system for analyzing sentences of various languages and constructing a language-independent semantic structure are provided. On the basis of comprehensive knowledge about languages and semantics, exhaustive linguistic descriptions are created, and lexical, morphological, syntactic, and semantic analyses for one or more sentences of a natural or artificial language are performed. A computer system is also provided to implement, analyze and store various linguistic structures and to perform lexical, morphological, syntactic, and semantic analyses. As result, a generalized data structure, such as a semantic structure, is generated and used to describe the meaning of one or more sentences in language-independent form, applicable to automated abstracting, machine translation, control systems, Internet information retrieval, etc.

A method is disclosed for controlling a voice-activated device by interpreting a spoken command as a series of voiced and non-voiced intervals. A responsive action is then performed according to the number of voiced intervals in the command. The method is well-suited to applications having a small number of specific voice-activated response functions. Applications using the inventive method offer numerous advantages over traditional speech recognition systems including speaker universality, language independence, no training or calibration needed, implementation with simple microcontrollers, and extremely low cost. For time-critical applications such as pulsers and measurement devices, where fast reaction is crucial to catch a transient event, the method provides near-instantaneous command response, yet versatile voice control.

The disclosed system and method provides a user interface in which language-related content is decoupled from a document structure or content to permit the document to accept variable language text. The language-related content is stored separately from the document structure and content. The document without the language-related content acts like a template that can be populated with any type of language-related content. The language-related content can be provided in a separate file together with associated identifiers, and can be loaded into a cache or document object model (DOM) for processing. An XML file may be used for the language file, and the document may be constructed using HTML code. Document components can be assigned event handlers that cause pop-up boxes to be loaded and displayed with language-related content upon an event trigger.

The invention may be embodied as a system having and / or a method utilizing a searchable database of index information. Each index in the database may have (a) at least one descriptor, which matches an entry that a user might provide in order to identify an item, (b) a first pointer which identifies a location of the item, and (c) a second pointer which identifies a location of information that may be helpful to the user in deciding whether to request retrieval of the item. The first pointers of one index may be the same as first pointers in a different index. The second pointer may identify a general class to which an item belongs.

A device user interface in which language is decoupled from a document is disclosed. The language content is stored separately from the document structure and may be located on a content specific server or on a language server. The language server permits centralized collection of language-related content and language services. The document without the language content acts like a template that can be populated with any type of language-related content. The language content can be provided in a separate file together with associated identifiers, and can be loaded into a cache or document object model (DOM) for processing. An XML file may be used for the language file, and the document may be constructed using HTML code. Document components can be assigned event handlers that cause pop-up boxes to be loaded and displayed with language-related content upon an event trigger.

The invention relates to the technical field of software engineering, in particular to a code level component assembly method based on grammar reconstruction in software development. The code level component assembly method based on the grammar reconstruction comprises the following steps: 1) expanding a normative grammar of a program language and establishing a new normative grammar which causesthe language to be capable of being constructed and assembled; and 2) assembling the code level components created according to the new normative grammar. The assembly method has the advantage of independent language, and can be used for software reuse in various fields. The method can support business process integration and reuse in different application fields and the customization and the integration of personalized services oriented to users by combining with a field component library.

The present invention provides a multilingual entity relationship extraction method and system based on an adversarial training mechanism, which encodes the target entity pair related target sentences in each language into the independent semantic space corresponding to each language and the consistent semantics corresponding to all languages space, to obtain the independent information of each language and the consistent information across languages ​​contained in the target sentence; and then use the independent attention mechanism of each language and the consistent attention mechanism of each language to measure the relative relationship type of each target sentence. Attention weight, finally combine the attention weights of all target sentences relative to each relationship type to obtain the global probability corresponding to each relationship type, select the maximum probability from the global probability corresponding to each relationship type, and finally get the relationship type corresponding to the maximum probability Predict relationships between target entity pairs. The method and system can deeply utilize the complementarity among multiple languages, and effectively improve the accuracy of the relationship extraction results in a multilingual scene.
