44 results about "Partial word" patented technology

A partial word is a string that may contain a number of "do not know" or "do not care" symbols i.e. placeholders in the string where the symbol value is not known or not specified. More formally, a partial word is a partial function where is some finite alphabet. If u(k) is not defined for some then the unknown element at place k in the string is called a "hole". In regular expressions (following the POSIX standard) a hole is represented by the metacharacter ".". For example, aab.ab.b is a partial word of length 8 over the alphabet A ={a,b} in which the fourth and seventh characters are holes.

Language transference rule producing apparatus, language transferring apparatus method, and program recording medium

When a portion of an input speech sentence contains an untrained portion or when speech recognition is partly erroneously performed, transference to the target language is disabled. Moreover, a phrase dictionary and interphrase rules which are necessary for transference must be manually produced. Therefore, development is low in efficiency and requires much labor. An apparatus includes: a language rule producing section which statistically automatically trains grammatical or semantic restriction rules for a partial word or a word string from a parallel-translation corpus, and in which rules are described in the form wherein a source language partial sentence corresponds to a target language partial sentence; a speech recognizing section which performs speech recognition on speech of the source language by using the produced language rules, and which outputs a result of the recognition; and a language transferring section which transfers a source language sentence into a target language sentence by using the same language rules. Even when a portion of an input speech sentence contains an untrained portion or when speech recognition is partly erroneously performed, transference to the target language is surely enabled. Moreover, a phrase dictionary and interphrase rules which are necessary for transference can be automatically produced without requiring much manual assistance.

Transparent error correcting memory that supports partial-word write

A high-speed partial-word write operation is performed in a memory system. First, an error correction code (ECC) word, which includes a data word and associated error correction bits, is read from a memory array. A word line and a plurality of sense amplifiers are enabled during this read operation. The read data word is corrected in response to the associated error correction bits, thereby creating a corrected data word. The corrected data word is merged with a write data word, thereby creating a merged write data word. Write error correction bits are generated in response to the merged write data word, and the merged write data word and write error correction bits are written to the memory array. The word line and the plurality of sense amplifiers remain enabled from the reading operation through the write operation, thereby speeding up the partial-word write operation.

Virtual keyboard text entry method optimized for thumb typing, using partial word completion key entry values

Virtual keyboards become efficient and ergonomic by typing with small, incremental partial word completions, using fewest but largest possible keys, presented in highly condensed layouts, retaining familiar structural patterns of standard keyboards like QWERTY, and utilizing curved thumb typing formats. The keyboard continuously adjusts numbers of keys, key sizes, predictive values and layouts, to minimize keystrokes, reduce errors, and maximize potential words entered, while providing the most ergonomic, minimalist interface possible at any moment, scaling to any size device. Keys display normal default characters concatenated with supplemental predictive characters, forming incremental partial word completions; each represents the longest common building block shortcut of likely intended words derivable from a key's default value. The most relevant keys can generate larger numbers of highly predicted words; the more relevant, the larger the key. Only the most relevant keys are displayed, in stripped down, but familiar layouts, allowing only valid text entry options.

Method and apparatus for calculating cyclic redundancy checks for variable length packets

Cyclic redundancy checking operations may be performed on a message made up of full words and a partial word. An accumulator value for the cyclic redundancy checking operations may be updated as the full words and partial word are processed. The partial word may be padded with pad bits. The effects of the partial word padding can be removed by performing polynomial division on the accumulator. Polynomial division may be performed using an arrangement where each polynomial division involves half as many bits as its predecessor. Iterative division schemes in which a fixed number of bits are processed in multiple passes may also be used. Hybrid arrangements involving cascaded divisions of different orders and iterative fixed-size division can be used. Unpadded partial words may also be processed using cascaded, iterative, and hybrid schemes.

Methods and apparatus to support error-checking of variable length data packets using a multi-stage process

A given data packet is parsed into words and a final partial word that are processed (depending on size) in each of multiple successive stages of logic circuitry. Similarly sized words are processed at one stage of the logic circuit. Smaller and smaller modulo-2 components of the final partial word are processed at successive stages of logic circuitry. Based on this technique of processing modulo-2 components in different stages, the corresponding multi-stage logic circuit can be implemented in a low cost logic circuit such as an FPGA device instead of a custom-masked ASIC.

Memory Device with Error Correction Capability and Preemptive Partial Word Write Operation

A memory device comprises a memory array and error correction circuitry coupled to the memory array. The memory device is configured to perform a partial word write operation in which an error correction code encode process for the given retrieved word is initiated prior to completion of an error correction code decode process for the given retrieved word based on an assumption that the error correction code decode process will not indicate an error in the given retrieved word. If the error correction code decode process when completed indicates an error in the given retrieved word, the error in the given retrieved word is corrected in the error correction circuitry, and the error correction code encode process is restarted using the corrected word. The error correction code decode process and an associated correct process are thereby removed from a critical timing path of the partial word write operation.

The invention relates to a machine translation test method. According to the method, a dependency syntax tree is constructed for sentences, pruning is performed on the syntax tree according to a specific rule, validity of the sentences is destroyed based on a group of deletion operators of a dependency syntax tree level, and words or phrases are deleted from the original sentences to generate new sentences with effective grammar and semantics. And inputting the original text and the newly generated sentences into a tested machine translation system, calculating bag-of-word distances, sequencing and amplifying the sentences according to the bag-of-word distances, selecting five sentences with the largest distance, manually labeling the original sentence and the translated sentence results, marking wrong sentences, and completing the test of the machine translation system. The invention aims to solve the problem that the test performance is mainly limited by the maturity of an adopted language model due to the fact that a test case is mainly generated by replacing a part of words in a sentence in the current machine translation test. When the data is amplified, the invariance of the basic structure of the sentence is ensured, so that more pairs of errors are found, and most of the errors cannot be found by a previous machine translation test technology.
