The invention concerns user entry of information into a system with an input device. A scheme is provided in which an entire word that a user wants to enter is predicted after the user enters a specific symbol, such as a space character. If the user presses an ambiguous key thereafter, rather than accept the prediction, the selection list is reordered. For example, a user enters the phrase “Lets run to school. Better yet, lets drive to “.””” After the user presses the space, after first entering the second occurrence of the word “to,” the system predicts that the user is going to enter the word “school” based on the context in which the user has entered that word in the past. Should the user enter an ambiguous key after the space, then a word list which contains the word “school” is reordered and other options are made available to the user. The invention can also make predictions on context, such as the person to whom the message is sent, the person writing the message, the day of the week, the time of the week, etc. Other embodiments of the invention contemplate anticipation of user actions, as well as words, such as a user action in connection with menu items, or a user action in connection with form filling.

Systems and methods of correcting grammatical and spelling errors that involve improper positioning of a whitespace character and/or an extra whitespace character. Removal of an extra whitespace character or repositioning of an improperly positioned whitespace character may result in correction of two misspelled words in a single correction step.

Method of invisibly embedding and hiding data into a text document by modifying selected invisible attributes of invisible characters on a plurality of inter-word intervals, comprising the steps of selecting (10) at least one attribute that is invisible on the space characters used as inter-word intervals, transforming (14) the document into a canonical form by setting on all inter-word intervals the values of the selected attribute to the same default value, encoding (18) the data to be embedded and hidden into the document as an ordered set of values corresponding to the different values of the selected attribute, selecting (20) a set of inter-word intervals among all inter-word intervals corresponding to a set of space characters and replacing (22) on each space character of this set of space characters, default attribute values by the corresponding encoded data.

A document generation system for generating a customised document using content elements selected by rules operating on input information, the content elements comprising conditional and unconditional text is provided. The system provides means to generate a program structure, containing information about the space characters to be inserted between the conditional and unconditional text in the generated document. The program structure is evaluated to determine the positions of the space characters. The program structure may be an XML structure.

An apparatus includes a character extraction unit configured to extract a character string from a document including layout information, a character width acquisition unit configured to acquire space character width information, and a spacing amount determination unit configured to determine a spacing amount of each inter-character space based on the character string extracted by the character extraction unit and the layout information. The apparatus further includes an insertion unit configured to determine whether a space character is to be included in each inter-character space based on the spacing amount of each inter-character space determined by the spacing amount determination unit and the space character width information acquired by the character width acquisition unit, and to insert a space character code into an inter-character space in which a space character is determined to be included.

The invention relates to the field of artificial intelligence, discloses a speech recognition result evaluation method, device and equipment and a storage medium, and is used for improving the evaluation efficiency of evaluating the accuracy of converting initial speech into an initial text.

The invention also relates to a blockchain technology, and the initial text can be stored in the blockchain.

The present invention is directed to a method and corresponding system for parsing author name text strings in documents. The method and system may electronically scan a document that contains an author name text string comprising a set of initials, one or more author surnames, and punctuation. The author name text string may be in non-standardized format. The method and system may identify a character sequence in the document as potentially being the author name test string based on (i) a sequence of title-case words, capital letter, and punctuation, and (ii) the character sequence ending with a recognized indicator. The method and system may parse the identified character sequence by converting any punctuation and whitespace between terms in the character sequence to a single space character, identifying a pattern of surname and set of initials comprising each author name contained in the character sequence, and marking up the components of surname and set of initials comprising each author name. The method and system may use the marked up character sequence to identify and correct errors in punctuation and capitalization in the character sequence, and output an updated character sequence in standardized format.

A method and system for processing a user input character string entered by a user into a computer system that comprises a browser. The user input character string is received. The user input character string conforms to a native character set and encoding of the browser for a language selected by the user. The user input character string is converted to a converted character string consisting of characters of a Universal Character Set (UCS) which are independent of platform and language. Any leading and any trailing whitespace characters in the converted character string are removed. Following the removal of any leading and any trailing whitespace characters in the converted character string, any remaining whitespace characters of the converted character string are converted to a single value, resulting in the converted character string being a resultant character string.

A data search apparatus performs a data search by using a search string that has a space character included therein with a calculation of the number of target search data prior to the data search, on an assumption that at least two portions in the search string are used in an AND search. If the calculated number of the target search data exceeds a predetermined value, the space in the search string is excluded and the search string is considered as a single keyword for the data search. The data search by the above-described method yields a preferable search result in the data search apparatus having the AND search capability, because the space in the search string is excluded from an actual search string on a predetermined condition.

The invention discloses a training method and device for performing arithmetic operation based on a language model, and the method comprises the steps: adding a space character in front of each character in an equation text, and generating a quasi equation text; performing word segmentation processing on the quasi equation text to obtain a list corresponding to the quasi equation text, the list comprising a plurality of words; taking a list corresponding to the quasi equation text as a training sample to obtain training sample data; and performing operation training on the training sample data by using a language model to generate an arithmetic model. Therefore, the equation text is preprocessed by adding the space characters and performing word segmentation processing, so that each character in the equation text serves as an independent word to be input into the language model, and the language model can learn each character of the equation text and the digit information of each character; therefore, after the language model is trained by using a small number of training samples, the calculation accuracy of the trained arithmetic model can be effectively improved.
