20110191100 | LANGUAGE MODEL SCORE LOOK-AHEAD VALUE IMPARTING DEVICE, LANGUAGE MODEL SCORE LOOK-AHEAD VALUE IMPARTING METHOD, AND PROGRAM STORAGE MEDIUM - A speech recognition apparatus that performs frame synchronous beam search by using a language model score look-ahead value prevents the pruning of a correct answer hypothesis while suppressing an increase in the number of hypotheses. A language model score look-ahead value imparting device | 08-04-2011 |
20110210508 | PRINT CONTROL APPARATUS AND PRINT CONTROL METHOD - When printing is to be executed on the basis of an input print job, and a group of sheets having undergone the printing on the basis of the input print job are discharged to a first one of multiple discharging destinations, the first discharging destination is switched to a second discharging destination in the course of the discharging process, and the second discharging destination is selected in accordance with an arranged order of the group of sheets. | 09-01-2011 |
20120116765 | SPEECH PROCESSING DEVICE, METHOD, AND STORAGE MEDIUM - A speech recognition unit ( | 05-10-2012 |
20120310866 | DATA PROCESSING DEVICE, COMPUTER PROGRAM THEREFOR AND DATA PROCESSING METHOD - A plurality of pruning measures (PM) are calculated from a feature amount (CV) of test data (TD) which is input, a plurality of isopycnic surfaces (EC) are plotted and set on a threshold space (SS), a threshold curved surface (SC) in which a decrease in at least one of a plurality of pruning measures (PM) causes an increase in at least one thereof is generated using a portion of one isopycnic surface (EC) as a part, a hypothesis curved surface (HC) of subject data (CD) is generated on the threshold space (SS) to set a position intersecting the threshold curved surface (SC) to a pruning threshold (PS), and a plurality of hypotheses of the subject data (CD) are pruned. Thereby, there is provided a data processing device of which at least one of the recognition speed and the recognition accuracy is higher than in the related art. | 12-06-2012 |
20130113160 | PRINT CONTROL APPARATUS AND PRINT CONTROL METHOD - An apparatus includes a print control unit, a determining unit, and a control unit. The print control unit causes a printing unit to print an image on a sheet and causes one of a plurality of discharge units to discharge at least one sheet on which the image is printed by the printing unit facing downward. The determining unit determines whether some of the discharge units are to be used for discharging sheets for an input print job. In response to determining that the some of the discharge units are to be used for the input print job, the print control unit discharges the sheets to the some of the discharge units such that a former page of the sheets is discharged to a lower-level discharge unit and a latter page of the sheets is discharged to an upper-level discharge unit. | 05-09-2013 |
20130144609 | TEXT PROCESSING SYSTEM, TEXT PROCESSING METHOD, AND TEXT PROCESSING PROGRAM - Provided is a text processing system capable of avoiding declining processing efficiency in analyses of text that does not contain breaks. | 06-06-2013 |
20150262574 | EXPRESSION CLASSIFICATION DEVICE, EXPRESSION CLASSIFICATION METHOD, DISSATISFACTION DETECTION DEVICE, DISSATISFACTION DETECTION METHOD, AND MEDIUM - An expression classification device includes: a segment detection unit that detects a specific expression segment that includes a specific expression that can be used in a plurality of nuances from data corresponding to a voice of a conversation; a feature extraction unit that extracts feature information that includes at least one of a prosody feature and an utterance timing feature with regard to the specific expression segment that is detected by the segment detection unit; and a classification unit that classifies the specific expression included in the specific expression segment based on a nuance corresponding to a use situation in the conversation by using the feature information extracted by the feature extraction unit. | 09-17-2015 |
20150279391 | DISSATISFYING CONVERSATION DETERMINATION DEVICE AND DISSATISFYING CONVERSATION DETERMINATION METHOD - This dissatisfying conversation determination device include: a data acquisition unit that acquires a plurality of word data, and a plurality of phonation time data by target conversation participants; an extraction unit that extracts a plurality of specific word data configuring polite expression and impolite expression from the plurality of word data; a change detection unit that detects a point of change from polite expression to impolite expression by the target conversation participants based on the plurality of specific word data and the plurality of phonation time data; and a dissatisfaction determination unit that determines whether the target conversation is a dissatisfying conversation for the target conversation participants based on the result of the point of change detected by the change detection unit. | 10-01-2015 |
