The present disclosure provides a speech interaction method, apparatus, device and computer storage medium and relates to the field of artificial intelligence. A specific implementation solution is as follows: performing speech recognition and demand analysis for a first speech instruction input by a user; performing demand prediction for the first speech instruction if the demand analysis fails, to obtain at least one demand expression; returning at least one of the demand expression to the user in a form of a question; performing a service response with a demand analysis result corresponding to the demand expression confirmed by the user, if a second speech instruction confirming at least one of the demand expression is received from the user. The present disclosure can efficiently improve the user's interaction efficiency and enhance the user's experience.

A method of evaluating a language model using negative data may include accessing a first language model that is trained using a first training corpus, and accessing a second language model. The second language model may be configured to generate outputs that are less grammatical than outputs generated by the first language model. The method may also include training the second language model using a second training corpus, and generating output text from the second language model. The method may further include testing the first language model using the output text from the second language model.

A system is provided for reducing friction during user interactions with a natural language processing system, such as voice assistant systems. The system determines a pre-trained model using dialog session data corresponding to multiple user profiles. The system determines a fine-tuned model using the pre-trained model and a fine-tuning dataset that corresponds to a particular task, such as query rewriting. The system uses the fine-tuned model to process a user input and determine an alternative representation of the input that can result in a desired response from the natural language processing system.

A method is provided that includes predicting, using a language model, one or more words from a first set of words expected to be difficult for a reader, and providing the first set of words for display to the reader. The predicted one or more words in the first set of words are displayed differently from non-predicted words in the first set of words.

A computer-implemented method is provided for generating a language model for an application. The method includes estimating interpolation weights of each of a plurality of language models according to an Expectation Maximization (EM) algorithm based on a first metric. The method further includes classifying the plurality of language models into two or more sets based on characteristics of the two or more sets. The method also includes estimating a hyper interpolation weight for the two or more sets based on a second metric specific to the application. The method additionally includes interpolating the plurality of language models using the interpolation weights and the hyper interpolation weight to generate a final language model.

A voice-based system is configured to process commands in a flexible format, for example, in which a wake word does not necessarily have to occur at the beginning of an utterance. As in natural speech, the system being addressed may be named within or at the end of a spoken utterance rather than at the beginning, or depending on the context, may not be named at all.
