Techniques for using latent semantic structure of textual content ascribed to the items to provide automatic recommendations to the user. A user inputs a selected item and, in turn, a latent semantic algorithm is applied to the user selection and the textual content of the items in a database to generate a conceptual similarity between the selection and the items. A set of nearest items to the selected item is provided as a recommendation to the user of other items that may be of particular interest or relevance to the user's original selection based upon the conceptual similarity measure.

A system and method for automatically generating a hierarchical table of contents or outline for indexing a document and identifying clusters of related information in the document. The document may comprise text, audio, video, or a multimedia presentation. The invention employs a unique and novel combination of latent semantic indexing techniques to identify related blocks and major topic changes within the document with scale space segmentation techniques to respectively identify self-similar blocks within the document and to thus find topic changes of various sizes at block edges. The invention then produces a visual presentation of the semantic structure of the document.

A computerized method for automatic document classification based on a combined use of the projection and the distance of the differential document vectors to the differential latent semantics index (DLSI) spaces. The method includes the setting up of a DLSI space-based classifier to be stored in computer storage and the use of such classifier by a computer to evaluate the possibility of a document belonging to a given cluster using a posteriori probability function and to classify the document in the cluster. The classifier is effective in operating on very large numbers of documents such as with document retrieval systems over a distributed computer network.

In a method of providing information in a peer-to-peer network, a query is received and a profile is generated based on the query by applying a latent semantic indexing algorithm. The profile is routed to a selected node based on the profile falling within a zone owned by the selected node.

In a method of semantic querying in a peer-to-peer network, an item of information is mapped into a semantic vector based on the latent semantic indexing algorithm or any IR algorithms that can derive a vector representation. The semantic vector is associated with an address index as a key pair. The key pair is stored in an overlay network formed from the peer-to-peer network such that the stored key pair is proximally located to at least one other key pair having a similar semantic vector.

A system and method for using semantic analysis to configure a voice reader is presented. A text file includes a plurality of text blocks, such as paragraphs. Processing performs semantic analysis on each text block in order to match the text block's semantic content with a semantic identifier. Once processing matches a semantic identifier with the text block, processing retrieves voice attributes that correspond to the semantic identifier (i.e. pitch value, loudness value, and pace value) and provides the voice attributes to a voice reader. The voice reader uses the text block to produce a synthesized voice signal with properties that correspond to the voice attributes. The text block may include semantic tags whereby processing performs latent semantic indexing on the semantic tags in order to match semantic identifiers to the semantic tags.

The invention discloses a latent semantic image retrieval method of region-oriented multi-feature integration and multi-level feedback. It uses result list returned by the initial keyword search, extracting a variety of region-oriented images characteristics, constructing attribute-image matrix, using latent semantic indexing algorithm to get the semantic space of image sets and semantic features of each image, and then using similar images by users feedback to construct or update image query vector, searching again the semantic space, calculating image semantics features and images inquiries vector similarity, getting outcome sets by descending order, and repeatable retrieval. The invention takes full advantage of image content information, making up for the deficiencies of the keyword search, and through the region-oriented multi-feature integration, enhances image content information from the bottom physical layer to the object layer, then further enhances to the semantic layer by HCI feedback, thereby reducing the gap between the image bottom features and high-level semantic, and allowing Web image retrieval to get higher retrieval accuracy.

A new, more efficient memory translation algorithm facilitating the acquisition of a most appropriate translation in a target language from among those of nearly narrowed-down candidates of translation by separately applying the so-called dimension reducing functions of a template automaton and the LSI (latent semantic index) technique. Both the template automaton and the LSI principle play an important role in implementing an efficient process of narrowing down an efficient solution space from among the many example sentences of the databases in a target language by exploiting their respective unique search space reduction function. Once developed into a fully operational system, an expert editor rather than an expert translator can tune up the translation memory system, markedly widening the range of available experts who can utilize the system.

This invention relates to a unit selection module for Chinese Text-to-Speech (TTS) synthesis, mainly comprising a probabilistic context free grammar (PCFG) parser, a latent semantic indexing (LSI) module, and a modified variable-length unit selection scheme; any Chinese sentence is firstly input and then parsed into a context-free grammar (CFG) by the PCFG parser; wherein there are several possible CFGs for every Chinese sentence, and the CFG (or the syntactic structure) with the highest probability is then taken as the best CFG (or the syntactic structure) of the Chinese sentence; the LSI module is then used to calculate the structural distance between all the candidate synthesis units and the target unit in a corpus; through the modified variable-length unit selection scheme, tagged with the dynamic programming algorithm, the units are searched to find the best synthesis unit concatenation sequence.

A term-by-document (or part-by-collection) matrix can be used to index documents (or collections) for information retrieval applications. Reducing the rank of the indexing matrix can further reduce the complexity of information retrieval. A method for index matrix rank reduction can involve computing a singular value decomposition and then retaining singular values based on the singular values corresponding to singular values of multiple topics. The expected singular values corresponding to a topic can be determined using the roots of a specially formed characteristic polynomial. The coefficients of the special characteristic polynomial can be based on computing the determinants of a Gram matrix of term (or part) probabilities, a method of recursion, or a method of recursion further weighted by the probability of document (or collection) lengths.

A text processing method is provided that includes the following steps. First, an abstract mathematical vector space is generated based on a collection of documents. Respective documents in the collection of documents have a representation in the abstract mathematical vector space and respective terms contained in the collection of documents have a representation in the abstract mathematical vector space. Then, the abstract mathematical vector space is perturbed to produce a perturbed abstract mathematical vector space that is stored in an electronic format accessible to a user. Perturbing the abstract mathematical vector space may include modifying the representation of a document with a newly computed representation for that document, or modifying the representation of a term with a newly computed representation for that term.

Semantic indexing methods and systems are disclosed. One such method is directed to training a semantic indexing model by employing an expanded query. The query can be expanded by merging the query with documents that are relevant to the query for purposes of compensating for a lack of training data. In accordance with another exemplary aspect, time difference features can be incorporated into a semantic indexing model to account for changes in query distributions over time.
