Description

Method, equipment and system for disambiguating natural language content title

The scheme is a divisional application with a parent application number of 201710357079.7 and application dates of 2017-05-19, and is named as 'a method, equipment and system for disambiguating natural language content titles'.

Technical Field

The present invention relates to the field of speech recognition technology, and more particularly, to a method, apparatus, and system for natural speech content title disambiguation.

Background

The interaction between the user and the device comprises key control, remote control, somatosensory control, touch control and the like. With the development of NLP (natural language processing) technology, an interaction mode, namely voice interaction control, is added between a user and a device.

The user uses natural language to interact with the device, and it is expected that the device can maximally understand the user's intention, but when a human being expresses through natural language, words with uncertain meanings such as omitted words and pronouns often appear, and the existing speech recognition technology generally utilizes context to determine the specific meanings of the omitted words and the pronouns in the user's language expression. However, when the user interacts with the device using the natural language, there is also a case that the meaning of the user's natural language expression is determined after being converted into a character, and the character expression of the user's natural language after being recognized by the voice is unique, and does not include an omitted word or a representative word. There are situations where the word expression is unambiguous and the content to which it refers is uncertain. At the moment, the equipment for receiving the natural language input of the user cannot understand the real meaning of the user, so that the accuracy of the intention identification of the user is reduced, and the voice interaction experience of the user is influenced.

Detailed Description

The present invention is described in further detail below with reference to the attached drawing figures.

In the following description, since the description is provided to describe many technical details to assist understanding of the present invention, the present invention can be implemented without these technical details, and the technical solution of the present invention is not limited to the scenarios and environments described in the description.

Description of the problem

When a user sends a control command to a device using natural language, it is desirable that the natural language command more closely resemble the natural language expression, while also expecting that the device can really understand the intent of its control command. For example, when a user wishes to play the music of zhou jilun "secret not to say", the conventional practice is to not only need to explicitly play the content "secret not to say", but also to explicitly play the category "music", that is, at least to establish a template "i want to listen to … …" or "please play music … …", and to express the template in the natural language input, that is, the natural language input "secret that i want to listen to cannot say", or "please play the secret that music cannot say", so as to enable the receiving device to understand the true intention of the user. If the user only inputs 'please play secret which can not be said', the device can not immediately determine whether the user requests music 'secret which can not be said' or the movie 'secret which can not be said', in the prior art, some users can determine the intention of the user request according to the context information, and some users can select to determine the true intention of the request by prompting. However, these existing schemes have a possibility of erroneously recognizing the user's intention, or have problems in that the recognition response time is excessively long and the user's use burden is increased.

The above problem scenario may exist in a residential or vehicular environment. Furthermore, in an office environment, there may be similar problem scenarios as well. For example, when a user inputs a "first AI congress" to the device in a meeting room through a natural language, and a file corresponding to the "first AI congress" includes video, audio and text or a web page, the device cannot determine whether the user's real intention is to play the video "first AI congress", play the audio "first AI congress" or play text or a web page related to the "first AI congress". The device may determine the user's intent through contextual information or may prompt the user to choose to determine the true intent of their request. However, also, these existing solutions have a possibility of either misidentifying the user's intention or have problems in that the recognition response time is too long and the user's use burden is increased.

The above user natural language input contents, scenes, environments, etc. are only for illustrative purposes and are not limited thereto. For better understanding of the present invention, the following embodiments will refer to some input contents, scenarios and environments in the description process, however, the understanding of the technical solution of the present invention should not be limited thereto, and all possible input contents, scenarios and environments are within the scope of the present invention.

General overview

When a user sends a command by using a natural language, the natural language command is converted into a content title through a voice recognition technology, the content title has a plurality of actual meaning item information, namely, the content title is uniquely determined in literal representation, but the content represented by the content title is not uniquely determined, in particular different contents with the same title are referred, the different contents are particularly different contents with different output forms, and the device type can be combined when the content specifically pointed by the content title is determined. The device is an output device, and is configured to output content corresponding to a content title, where the content corresponding to the content title is adapted to the actual meaning item information corresponding to the content title, that is, the output device is configured to output content to which the content title specifically points. In some embodiments, the output device is also a device that receives user natural language commands; in some embodiments, the output device is a different device than the device that receives the user natural language command. In some embodiments, the output device may be a device having only output capabilities. In some embodiments, the output device may be a device that, in addition to having an output capability, may also have a capability of acquiring content corresponding to the content title according to the actual semantic item information corresponding to the content title.

In some embodiments, when the output device has a sound pickup function, the output device may simultaneously be the device that receives the user's natural language commands; when the output device does not have the sound pickup function, the output device is different from the device for receiving the natural language command of the user, and at the moment, the output device can be controlled by other control devices with the sound pickup function; in some embodiments, when the output device has a function of picking up sound, or a part of the output device has a function of picking up sound, the output device may be a different device from the device receiving the user's natural language command, and in this case, the output device may be controlled by another control device having a function of picking up sound; in some embodiments, when part of the output devices have a sound pickup function, the output device having a sound pickup function is the same device as the device receiving the user's natural language command, the output device not having a sound pickup function is a different device from the device receiving the user's natural language command, and the output device not having a sound pickup function is controllable by the other control device having a sound pickup function.

In some embodiments, if the device type of the output device is an audio playing device, the content pointed by the content title is preferentially determined to be audio content related to the content title; and if the device type of the output device is the video playing device, preferentially determining the content pointed by the content title as the video content related to the content title.

In some embodiments, if the output device includes an audio playing device and a video playing device, and the device type of the output device is the video playing device, the content pointed by the content title is preferentially determined to be video content related to the content title; if only the video playing device exists, prompting the user to select to play the audio content or the video content pointed by the content title, or preferentially determining the content pointed by the content title as the video content related to the content title, prompting the user to determine the content as the video content related to the content title, and optionally simultaneously prompting the user whether to switch to the audio content related to the content title.

In some embodiments, the control device stores the output device and its device type, and the user can set the output device and its device type information through the input device of the control device. In some embodiments, a user may activate the output devices via the input device of the control device, may activate all of the output devices, or may activate some of the output devices. The setting and starting process can be input through characters such as a keyboard, a touch screen and the like, and can also be input through natural language commands received by the sound pickup device. The sound pick-up device of the control equipment receives the natural voice input command of the user and completes the process of the content specifically pointed by the content title.

For example, the user's natural language input "secret cannot be said", which is converted into the text "secret cannot be said" after the speech conversion word processing, is uniquely determined here for the speech conversion word processing, but the "secret cannot be said" may represent music "secret cannot be said", and may represent movie "secret cannot be said", at which time, if the output device is a sound, the true intention of preferentially determining the "secret cannot be said" natural language input "of the user is music" secret cannot be said "; if the output device is a television, then it is prioritized that the true intent of the user's natural language input "secret cannot be said" is the movie "secret cannot be said"; alternatively, if the user is in an environment where both stereo and television are present and the output device is television, then it is prioritized that the true intent of the user's natural language input "secret cannot be said" is the movie "secret cannot be said"; if the user is in the environment where only television is present and the output device is television, then the true intent of the user's natural language input "secret not to speak" is preferentially to determine that the movie "secret not to speak" and prompt the user for the determination of the movie "secret not to speak" and optionally prompt the user to switch to music "secret not to speak".

In the interaction process, the sound box and the television have sound pickup functions, so that the sound box and the television are output devices and can also be used as devices for receiving natural language commands of users; alternatively, the user natural language command may be received through a control device storing a tv in which the user is in an environment including a sound for outputting an audio file and an output video file, the user inputs a natural language through the control device and the control device performs the previous process of recognizing the user's true intention, and transmits the determined contents to the output device. In this process, the user may enter the devices and device types included in the user environment in text or natural language, and may activate all or a portion of the devices included in the user environment in text or natural language input.

The above examples may be used in a residential environment, as well as in an in-vehicle environment, or any environment where similar devices are present.

For example, the user natural language input "the first AI congress" is converted into the text "the first AI congress" after the speech conversion word processing, where the processing of the speech conversion word is uniquely determined, but the "first AI congress" may represent the video "the first AI congress" and may also represent the text or web page related to the audio "the first AI congress" or "the first AI congress", and at this time, if the output device is a sound, the real intention of the user natural language input "the first AI congress" is preferentially determined to be the audio "the first AI congress"; if the output device is a stereo-connected projector or television, then it is preferably determined that the true intent of the user natural language input "first-to-end AI convention" is the video "first-to-end AI convention"; if the output equipment is a projector which is not connected with a sound box, the real intention of inputting the first terminal AI meeting by the natural language of the user is preferentially determined to be the relevant characters or the webpage of the first terminal AI meeting; optionally, if the sound and the projector exist in the environment where the user is located at the same time, and the output device is the projector, firstly determining whether the projector is connected with the sound, and if not, preferentially determining that the real intention of the user natural language input "the first AI congress" is the relevant text or webpage of the "first AI congress"; if the connection is made, the real intention of the user to input the 'first terminal AI congress' by natural language is preferentially determined to be the video 'first terminal AI congress', optionally, the user is prompted to determine the video 'first terminal AI congress', optionally, whether the user is prompted to switch to the audio 'first terminal AI congress', or the relevant words or webpage of the 'first terminal AI congress'.

In the above interaction process, both the sound box and the television have a sound pickup function, but the projector does not have a sound pickup function. Therefore, the sound and the television are output devices and can also be used as devices for receiving the natural language commands of the user, the projector is output device but not used as a device for receiving the natural language commands of the user, the projector can receive the natural language commands of the user through the control device, the control device completes the process of identifying the real intentions of the user in the front and controls and sends output contents to the projector; optionally, since the environment where the user is located includes the projector without the sound pickup function, all the natural language commands are received by the control device, the control device completes the process of identifying the real intention of the user in the front, and controls to send the output content to the output device; in some embodiments, the control device is further configured to determine an output capability that the device has.

Device type information

The device type information may be represented by any identifier that can distinguish between different device types, and in particular embodiments, the identifier may be a type of the output file or may be a device type tag. Here, the distinguishing identification of the device type may be automatically performed or may be manually set by the user. The information of the device self attribute, the user attribute, the context and the like can be combined in the distinguishing and identifying process of the device types. In the process of distinguishing and identifying the device types, the disambiguation of the device type can be completed through interaction, and meanwhile, the disambiguation effect can be continuously improved through enhancing a learning model by user behaviors in the interaction process.

As shown in FIG. 2, a method for natural language content title disambiguation includes the steps of:

step 201, receiving a natural language command input by a user;

when a user performs voice interaction with the device, the user is more inclined to use a more natural and simpler expression mode, for example, the user may directly send a natural language command "play secret which cannot be spoken by zhou jilun", or even directly send a natural language command "secret which cannot be spoken", "first AI meeting", or the like, so that the natural language command input by the user can be collected through a sound collection device such as a microphone or the like.

Step 203, converting the natural language command into a content title, wherein a text corresponding to the content title has a plurality of semantic item information.

Specifically, the natural voice command is converted into words through a voice recognition technology such as a method based on a vocal tract model and voice knowledge, a method of template matching, and a method using an artificial neural network, so that a corresponding content title can be obtained, wherein the text corresponding to the content title has a plurality of semantic information.

Here, the fact that the text corresponding to the content title has a plurality of items of meaning information means that the text corresponding to the content title is unique in literal representation, but the content represented by the text is not uniquely determined, that is, has a plurality of items of meaning. For example, "secret cannot be said" may represent music "secret cannot be said" or may represent movie "secret cannot be said"; the "first AI congress" may represent the "first AI congress" video, may also represent the "first AI congress" audio, or the "first AI congress" associated text or web page.

Step 205, according to the device type information of the corresponding output device, determining the actual meaning item information corresponding to the content title from the plurality of meaning item information.

For example, assuming that the natural language command input by the user is "secret cannot be said", and the device type information of the output device is sound, it can be determined that the actual meaning item information is music "secret cannot be said"; if the device type information of the output device is television, the actual meaning item information can be determined to be ' secret which cannot be said ' of the movie '; if the output device includes both television and stereo, then when the output device is television, the actual semantic item information may be determined to be "secret cannot be said" of the movie. In another embodiment, if the output device includes only a television, the actual semantic item information can be determined to be the movie "secret cannot be said" and the user can be prompted to determine that the content is the movie "secret cannot be said" and optionally whether to switch to music "secret cannot be said".

For another example, assuming that the natural language command input by the user is "the first AI congress" and the device type information of the output device is a sound-connected projector or television, the actual meaning item information may be determined to be "the first AI congress" video; if the device type information of the output device is sound, the actual meaning item information can be determined to be the audio of the first AI conventions; if the device type information of the output device is a projector which is not connected with a sound, the actual meaning item information can be determined to be the relevant characters, pictures or web pages of the first AI congress.

And step 207, outputting the content corresponding to the content title by an output device, wherein the content corresponding to the content title is adapted to the actual meaning item information.

Specifically, the output device firstly obtains the content corresponding to the content title according to the actual meaning item information, and then outputs the content; or the output device directly outputs the content corresponding to the content title, wherein the content corresponding to the content title is matched with the actual meaning item information. For example, the output device may obtain and output the content corresponding to the content title by locally searching the internal memory or the external memory, may obtain and output the content corresponding to the content title by searching the network, or may receive and output the content corresponding to the content title transmitted by another device.

For example, an output device such as a stereo may locally search a built-in memory or connected CD, network search, or receive music from other devices to obtain "secret not to say" and play; the output device such as a television can locally search the built-in memory or the connected VCD, DVD, USB memory, network search, or receive and obtain the 'secret which cannot be said' of the movie from other devices and play the movie; an output device such as a projector may obtain the "first AI congress" associated text or web page, etc. from other devices.

The following will describe possible embodiments by way of non-limiting example, and the present invention is not limited to the following list, in the following examples, the text corresponding to the content title has multiple items of meaning information, which means that the text corresponding to the content title is unique in terms of word expression, but the content represented by the text is not unique.

First embodiment

in step 301, the first device 110 receives a natural language command input by a user.

Users tend to use more natural and simpler expressions when interacting with the device, for example, the user may directly send the natural language command "play secret that cannot be spoken by zhou jeghen", or even directly send the natural language command "secret that cannot be spoken", "first AI party", etc.

Step 303, after receiving the natural language command, the first device 110 converts the natural language command into a content title, where a text corresponding to the content title has a plurality of semantic item information.

Specifically, the first device 100 may collect a natural language command input by the user through a sound collection device such as a microphone or the like; then, the natural language command is converted into a content title by converting the natural language command into words through a speech recognition technology such as a method based on a vocal tract model and speech knowledge, a method of template matching, and a method using an artificial neural network, so that the corresponding content title can be obtained, and the conversion of the natural language command into the content title is realized, wherein the text corresponding to the content title has a plurality of semantic item information.

Here, the fact that the text corresponding to the content title has a plurality of items of semantic information means that the text corresponding to the content title is unique in terms of word expression, but the content represented by the text is not uniquely determined. For example, "secret cannot be said" may represent music "secret cannot be said" or may represent movie "secret cannot be said"; the "first AI congress" may represent the "first AI congress" video, may also represent the "first AI congress" audio, or the "first AI congress" associated text or web page.

In step 305, the first device 110 determines actual meaning item information corresponding to the content title from the plurality of meaning item information according to the device type information of the corresponding output device.

For example, assuming that the natural language command input by the user is "secret cannot be said" and the device type information of the output device is sound, first device 110 may determine that the actual semantic item information is music "secret cannot be said"; if the device type information of the output device is television, then first device 110 may determine that the actual semantic item information is movie "secret cannot be said"; if the output device includes both television and stereo, then when the output device is television, first device 110 may determine that the virtual item information is a "secret cannot be said" of the movie. In another embodiment, if the output device includes only a television, first device 110 may determine that the actual semantic item information is a movie "secret cannot be spoken" and prompt the user for the determined content to be a movie "secret cannot be spoken", optionally prompting the user whether to switch to music "secret cannot be spoken".

For another example, assuming that the natural language command input by the user is "the first current AI meeting" and the device type information of the output device is a sound-connected projector or television, the first device 110 may determine that the actual meaning item information is "the first current AI meeting" video; if the device type information of the output device is a sound, the first device 110 may determine that the real meaning item information is a "first-kind AI congress" audio; if the device type information of the output device is a projector to which no audio is connected, the first device 110 may determine that the real meaning item information is "first-due AI conventions" related characters, pictures, or web pages.

Step 307, the first device 110 outputs the content corresponding to the content title according to the actual meaning item information.

Specifically, the first device 110 obtains and outputs the content corresponding to the content title through local search of the internal memory or the external memory according to the actual meaning item information, or obtains and outputs the content corresponding to the content title through network search, or receives and outputs the content corresponding to the content title sent by another device. For example, the first device 110 may be a stereo, which may locally search a built-in memory or connected CD, network search, or receive and play music "secret not to speak" from another device; the first device 110 is, for example, a television, which can locally search the built-in memory or connected VCD, DVD, USB memory, network search, or receive and obtain the movie "secret cannot be said" from other devices and play it; the first device 110 is, for example, a projector, which can obtain the relevant text or web page of the "first AI congress" from other devices and present the corresponding text or web page.

Fourth embodiment

As shown in fig. 6, in a fourth embodiment, the system 100 includes a first device 110, at least one second device 120, and a network 140. A method for natural language content title disambiguation comprising the steps of:

601, a user sends a natural language command;

Step 603, after the first device 110 or the second device 120 determines that the object of the natural language command sent by the user is itself, converting the natural language command into a content title, wherein a text corresponding to the content title has a plurality of items of semantic information.

Optionally, the first device 110 or the second device 120 determines whether the object of the natural language command sent by the user is itself by one or a combination of the following ways:

-determining the output device from a distance between the user and the first device and a distance between the user and the second device;

-determining the output device according to the direction from which the user issued the natural language command;

-determining the output device in dependence of the current frontal orientation of the user.

For example, if the output device is determined according to the distance between the user and the first device and the distance between the user and the second device, assuming that the distance between the user and the first device 110 is d1, the distance between the user and the second device 120 is d2, and d1> d2, it may be determined that the device closest to the user, i.e., the second device 120, is the output device.

For another example, if the output device is determined according to the direction from which the user issues the natural language command. Specifically, the direction of the natural language command of the user can be detected through voice, and the device existing in the direction can be detected through images, so that the device in the direction of the natural language command is determined as the output device, for example, the device closest to the user in the direction of the natural language command is used as the output device.

If, for example, the output device is determined based on the current frontal orientation of the user. Specifically, it is detected through the image that a device existing in the direction in which the user is currently facing is the output device, such as a device closest to the user in the direction in which the user is currently facing is the output device.

Step 605, the first device 110 or the second device 120 determines actual item information corresponding to the content title from the plurality of item information according to its own device type information;

for example, assuming that the natural language command input by the user is "secret cannot be said", and the device type information of the first device 110 or the second device 120 is sound, it may be determined that the actual semantic item information is music "secret cannot be said"; if the device type information of first device 110 or second device 120 is a television, determining that the actual meaning item information is a "secret that cannot be said" of the movie; if first device 110 or second device 120 includes both television and stereo, then when it is television, the actual semantic item information may be determined to be a movie "secret cannot be said". In another embodiment, if first device 110 or second device 120 only includes a television, the actual semantic item information may be determined to be a movie "secret cannot be spoken" and the user may be prompted to determine that the content is a movie "secret cannot be spoken", optionally prompting the user to switch to music "secret cannot be spoken".

For another example, assuming that the natural language command input by the user is "first current AI meeting", and the device type information of the first device 110 or the second device 120 is a sound-connected projector or a television, the virtual item information may be determined to be "first current AI meeting" video; if the device type information of the first device 110 or the second device 120 is a stereo, it may be determined that the real meaning item information is a "first-kind AI congress" audio; if the device type information of the first device 110 or the second device 120 is the projector to which the audio is not connected, it may be determined that the real meaning item information is the "first AI congress" related text, picture, or web page.

Step 607, the first device 110 or the second device 120 outputs the content corresponding to the content title according to the actual sense item information.
