Abstract
New language constantly emerges from complex, collaborative human-human interactions like meetings—such as when a presenter handwrites a new term on a whiteboard while saying it redundantly. The system and method described includes devices for receiving various types of human communication activities (e.g., speech, writing and gestures) presented in a multimodally redundant manner, includes processors and recognizers for segmenting or parsing, and then recognizing selected sub-word units such as phonemes and syllables, and then includes alignment, refinement, and integration modules to find or at least an approximate match to the one or more terms that were presented in the multimodally redundant manner. Once the system has performed a successful integration, one or more terms may be newly enrolled into a database of the system, which permits the system to continuously learn and provide an association for proper names, abbreviations, acronyms, symbols, and other forms of communicated language.
