US Classification:

704 2

Abstract:

Disambiguating multiple readings in language conversion is disclosed, including: receiving an input data to be converted into a set of characters comprising a symbolic representation of the input data in a target symbolic system; and using a language model that distinguishes between a first reading and a second reading of a character of the target symbolic system to determine a probability that the heteronymous character should be used to represent a corresponding portion of the input data.

Assignee:

APPLE INC. - Cupertino CA

International Classification:

G09B 1/00

US Classification:

434167

Abstract:

The disclosed implementations provide systems, methods and computer program products that provide computer accessibility for visually impaired users by audibly presenting exemplary descriptions of homophones. Commonly used characters can be described by using a common multi-character word that includes the character. Rarely used characters can be described using an Ideographic Description Sequence (IDS) that splits characters into individual components. Each component can then be read aloud individually as a description of the homophone character.

US Classification:

707723, 707722, 707E17014

Abstract:

Using a statistical language model to make information related to a word or other content of interest available is disclosed. An indication that a word or phrase is of interest is received. A contextual meta-information associated with the word or phrase of interest as used in context is used to make information related to the word or phrase of interest available, for example, by forming a more precise query and/or filtering search results based on the contextual meta-information.

International Classification:

G06F 40/284
G06N 20/00
G06N 5/04
G06N 7/00

Abstract:

Systems and methods for updating a language model are provided. One example method includes, at an electronic device with one or more processors and memory, training a first language model using a training data set comprising user-generated and user-relevant data, and storing a reference version of the first language model including a first overall probability distribution. Based on the reference version of the first language model, a second language model including a second overall probability distribution is updated (i.e., adapted) using the first overall probability distribution as a constraint on the second overall probability distribution.

Abstract:

Systems and methods for proactively identifying and surfacing relevant content on an electronic device with a touch-sensitive display are disclosed herein. In one aspect, a method includes presenting content in a first application. At least a portion of the content is presented without requiring input from a user. The method further includes receiving a request to open a second application. In response to receiving the request, the second application is presented with an input-receiving field. Before receiving any user input at the input-receiving field, a selectable user interface object is displayed with an indication that the portion of the content was viewed in the first application, allowing the user to paste at least the portion of the content into the input-receiving field. In response to detecting a selection of the selectable user interface object, the portion of the content is pasted into the input-receiving field.

Abstract:

Systems and methods for proactively identifying and surfacing relevant content are disclosed herein. An example method includes: detecting, via the touch-sensitive display, a search activation gesture from a user of the electronic device. The method also includes: in response to detecting only the search activation gesture, displaying a search interface on substantially all of the touch-sensitive display, the search interface including: (i) a search entry portion; and (ii) a predictions portion with one or more user interface objects each associated with a respective locally-installed application. Each respective locally-installed application is selected from among a plurality of locally-installed applications for inclusion in the predictions portion based on an application usage history associated with the user of the electronic device.
