US Patent:

6401067, Jun 4, 2002

Filed:

Jan 28, 1999

Appl. No.:

09/238288

Inventors:

James R. Lewis - Delray Beach FL
Michael P. Perrone - Yorktown NY
John F. Pitrelli - Danbury CT
Eugene H. Ratzlaff - Hopewell Junction NY
Jayashree Subrahmonia - White Plains NY

Assignee:

International Business Machines Corporation - Armonk NY

International Classification:

G10L 1500

US Classification:

704275, 704231

Abstract:

A data recognition system and method which allows a user to select between a âdefault recognitionâ mode and a âconstrained recognitionâ mode via a user interface. In the default recognition mode, a recognition engine utilizes predetermined default recognition parameters to decode data (e. g. , handwriting and speech). In the constrained recognition mode, the user can select one or more of a plurality of recognition constraints which temporarily modify the default recognition parameters to decode uncharacteristic and/or special data. The recognition parameters associated with the selected constraint enable the recognition engine to utilize specific information to decode the special data, thereby providing increased recognition accuracy.

International Classification:

G06K 900

US Classification:

382187, 382228, 382119, 704244

Abstract:

A system and method for automatically providing quality assurance for user enrollment in a recognition system. Advantageously, the quality a new enrollment (i. e. , a newly trained user-dependent prototype) is assessed before the new enrollment is accepted in place of a current enrollment. This quality check is performed by decoding stored user test data using the new enrollment, comparing the decoding results of the new enrollment to the known script used to generate the test data to obtain an accuracy score for the new enrollment, and then comparing the accuracy score for the new enrollment with an accuracy score of a previous qualified enrollment (or, in the case where there is no previous, qualified enrollment, to the accuracy of the speaker independent model). If the decoding results of the new enrollment are acceptable, the new enrollment will be used for recognition; otherwise it will be rejected and discarded.

International Classification:

A63F 13/12

US Classification:

463 9

Abstract:

A web application facilitates live on-line academic competition between teams and individuals based on multiple choice or fill-in-the-blank questions and fosters academic competition between students and schools. Using the software application, a team's Coach may enter his/her team in a league of regular competition, schedule a single competition with another team, or organize a competition between the team's members by dividing the team into multiple teams. The test environment provides the experience of competing over test questions, including a scoreboard that keeps track of progress with respect to the test time and the opponent. Students of comparable abilities on competing teams are matched using a matching algorithm that matches the students based on past test performance and the like.
