Solution Overview

Problem

Existing amendment source-positioning methods in speech input applications are inflexible and inefficient, limited by template matching, which struggles to accurately position correction sources in varied text contexts.

Innovation Solution

A method and apparatus that utilize semantic parsing to identify and position amendment sources through multiple fuzzy positioning techniques, including synonymy, similarity, and phonetic notation transformations, to enhance flexibility and accuracy in error correction within speech input applications.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If template matching and positioning method is used, then the amendment source can be positioned according to preset templates, but the method is rigid and inflexible with lower positioning efficiency

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveamendment source positioning flexibilityVSAvoidamendment source positioning efficiency
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent transforms the rigid template matching approach into a flexible parameter-based positioning system. Instead of fixed templates, the system uses semantic parsing to extract parameters (amendment type, target object, position information) from speech instructions, allowing dynamic adaptation to various correction scenarios while maintaining efficient positioning through structured parameter extraction and matching.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

2Measurement precision

If strict template matching is used, then positioning accuracy can be maintained for preset patterns, but it cannot handle parsing errors or pronunciation variations

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveamendment source positioning accuracyVSAvoidrobustness to parsing errors and pronunciation variations
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements error tolerance mechanisms beforehand in the positioning process. The system pre-prepares for potential parsing errors and pronunciation variations by incorporating fuzzy matching algorithms and multiple candidate generation. When exact matches fail, the system can fallback to similarity-based matching, ensuring continuous operation without complete failure.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #11Beforehand cushioning (Prior cushioning)

Solution Approach 2:

The system incorporates feedback mechanisms where positioning results are evaluated and can trigger refinement processes. If initial positioning based on semantic parsing fails or produces low-confidence results, the system uses feedback to activate alternative positioning strategies, such as fuzzy matching or phonetic similarity search, thereby maintaining accuracy despite input variations.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

AI summary

An amendment source-positioning method and apparatus, a computer device and a readable medium. The method includes: obtaining a first target word identifying an amendment source and defining parameters of the amendment source, from semantic parsing information of a user-input speech error correction instruction; positioning the amendment source from a to-be-corrected text according to the first target word and the defining parameters. As compared with the template matching and positioning scheme employed in the prior art, the technical solution of the present disclosure can support a speech error correction instruction in any form, and exhibits a more flexible amendment source-positioning manner, thereby effectively improving the amendment source-positioning efficiency.
