A system and method for a highly interactive style of speech-to-speech translation is provided. The interactive procedures enable a user to recognize, and if necessary correct, errors in both speech recognition and translation, thus providing robust translation output than would otherwise be possible. The interactive techniques for monitoring and correcting word ambiguity errors during automatic translation, search, or other natural language processing tasks depend upon the correlation of Meaning Cues and their alignment with, or mapping into, the word senses of third party lexical resources, such as those of a machine translation or search lexicon. This correlation and mapping can be carried out through the creation and use of a database of Meaning Cues, i.e., SELECT. Embodiments described above permit the intelligent building and application of this database, which can be viewed as an interlingua, or language-neutral set of meaning symbols, applicable for many purposes. Innovative techniques for interactive correction of server-based speech recognition are also described.

The present disclosure generally relates to systems and processes for emoji word sense disambiguation. In one example process, a word sequence is received. A word-level feature representation is determined for each word of the word sequence and a global semantic representation for the word sequence is determined. For a first word of the word sequence, an attention coefficient is determined based on a congruence between the word-level feature representation of the first word and the global semantic representation for the word sequence. The word-level feature representation of the first word is adjusted based on the attention coefficient. An emoji likelihood is determined based on the adjusted word-level feature representation of the first word. In accordance with the emoji likelihood satisfying one or more criteria, an emoji character corresponding to the first word is presented for display.

The present invention provides a method, system and computer program for naming a cluster, or a hierarchy of clusters, of words and phrases that have been extracted from a set of documents. The invention takes these clusters as the input and generates appropriate labels for the clusters using a lexical database. Naming involves first finding out all possible word senses for all the words in the cluster, using the lexical database; and then augmenting each word sense with words that are semantically similar to that word sense to form respective definition vectors. Thereafter, word sense disambiguation is done to find out the most relevant sense for each word. Definition vectors are clustered into groups. Each group represents a concept. These concepts are thereafter ranked based on their support. Finally, a pre-specified number of words and phrases from the definition vectors of the dominant concepts are selected as labels, based on their generality in the lexical database. Therefore, the labels may not necessarily consist of the original words in the cluster. A hierarchy of clusters is named in a recursive fashion starting from leaf clusters. Dominant concepts in child clusters are propagated into their parent to reduce the labeling complexity of parent clusters.

The application discloses a method and a device for determining a suggest word. In the method and the device, the relevance between a candidate word and an inquired word and the relevance between the candidate word and an interested field of a user are considered comprehensively according to the relevance of word characteristics and category characteristic, and further the candidate word with relatively high relevance with the inquired word and the interested field of the user is selected as the suggest word, so that the finally obtained suggest word is highly relevant to the inquired word and the interesting of the user in the meaning of the word and the category of the word; when the suggest word is determined according to the same inquired word of different users, the interesting points of the users can be distinguished effectively, so that the suggest word capable of reflecting the demands of the user can be determined finally; and meanwhile, the relevance of word category is considered when the suggest word is determined, so that even if the inquired word has various meanings in different fields, the suggest word can be determined accurately according to the interested fields of the user. According to the method and the device, the workload in the suggest word determining process can be reduced effectively, and the suggest word determining efficiency is improved.

The invention provides word sense disambiguation method and system. In the method, semantic information contained in a body or a classification system with a hierarchical structure is used for carrying out semantic disambiguation on a target word. The method comprises the following steps of: inputting a target word w with various word senses (w1, w2 to wn); extracting the concept of the target word from the related body and a concept context in the body; grading the various word senses of the target word based on the concept context; and selecting a proper word sense of the target word according to a grading result. According to the invention, because various related semantic features in the context (the concept context) of the target word are considered, the accuracy rate of the word sense disambiguation is obviously improved.

The multi-document subject discovery method comprises the following steps: S1 using a plurality of documents as input, pretreating each document, i.e. the documents are broken up into clauses, and the clauses are broken up into words, so as to obtain a noun group and a verb group in a multi-document group, and performing emantic disambiguation processing on polysemes in the noun group and the verb group; S2 respectively performing word clustering analysis on the noun group and the verb group which are output in the step S1 according to word similarity by adopting an improved OPTICS algorithm, extracting semantic concepts, and establishing vector space models on the clauses according to the semantic concepts; S3 performing clustering analysis on the clauses by using an improved K-medoid algorithm, so as to obtain a subject. Inner semantic relations between words are extracted by the multi-document subject discovery method, and the problem of non-orthogonality among feature items when feature vectors of the clauses are established is solved.

The system includes a word sense associative network display portion for displaying word senses of the search key entered by the user together with related word senses in a network, a search portion for conducting a search by generating a search key based on word senses selected by the user, and a filtering portion for selecting documents from the result of the search that matches the selected word sense.

Systems and methods for automatically discovering and assigning symbols for identified text in a software application include identifying text for which symbol assignment is desired. The words within the identified text and selected surrounding words defining an observation sequence are subjected to a part of speech tagging algorithm to electronically determine one or more most likely part of speech tags for the identified text. Context relations between the identified text and selected surrounding keywords may also be identified. The identified text, part of speech tag(s) and/or determined relations are then analyzed to map the identified text to one or more identified word senses. Related word senses may also be analyzed to determine if any related word senses have symbols. One of the determined symbols may then be associated with the identified text such that the symbol is thereafter displayed in conjunction with or instead of the text in the application.

In one embodiment of the present invention, a semantic analyzer translates a text segment into a structured representation that conveys the meaning of the text segment. Notably, the semantic analyzer leverages a semantic network to perform word sense disambiguation operations that map text words included in the text segment into concepts—word senses with a single, specific meaning—that are interconnected with relevance ratings. A topic generator then creates topics on-the-fly that includes one or more mapped concepts that are related within the context of the text segment. In this fashion, the topic generator tailors the semantic network to the text segment. A topic analyzer processes this tailored semantic network, generating a relevance-ranked list of topics as a meaningful proxy for the text segment. Advantageously, operating at the level of concepts and topics reduces the misinterpretations attributable to key word and statistical analysis methods.
