A speaker recognition device includes a memory, and a processor. The memory stores enrolled key phrase data corresponding to utterances of a key phrase by enrolled users,and text-dependent and text-independent acoustic speaker models of the enrolled users. The processor is operatively connected to the memory, and executes instructions to authenticate a speaker as an enrolled user, which includes detecting input key phrase data corresponding to a key phrase uttered by the speaker, computing text-dependent and text-independent scores for the speaker using speech models of the enrolled user, computing a confidence score, and authenticating or rejecting the speaker as the enrolled user based on whether the confidence score indicates that the input key phrase data corresponds to the speech from the enrolled user.

Speaker identification with ultra-short speech segments for far and near field voice assistance applications

A system provides multi-modal user interaction. The system is configured to detect acoustic events to perform context-sensitive personalized conversations with the speaker. Conversation or communication among the speakers or devices is categorized into different classes as confidential, partially anonymous, or public. When exchange with cloud infrastructure is needed, a clear indicator is presented to the speaker via one or more modalities. Furthermore, different dialog strategies are employed in situations where conversation failures, such as misunderstanding, wrong expectation, emotional stress, or memory deficiencies, occur.

System and method for speech-enabled personalized operation of devices and services in multiple operating environments

A method and system of providing an interactive manual, including a speech engine to receive and process speech from a user, convert the speech into a word sequence, and identify meaning structures from the word sequence, a structured manual including information related to an operation of a device, a visual model to relate visual representation of the information, a dialog management arrangement to interpret the meaning structures in a context and to extract pertinent information and the visual representation from the structured manual and the visual model, and an output arrangement to output the information and visual representation.
