ABSTRACT:
The invention concerns a method and system for detecting morphemes in a user's communication. The method may include recognizing a lattice of phone strings from the user's input communication, the lattice representing a distribution over the phone strings, and detecting morphemes in the user's input communication using the lattice. The morphemes may be acoustic and/or non-acoustic. The morphemes may represent any unit or sub-unit of communication including phones, diphones, phone-phrases, syllables, grammars, words, gestures, tablet strokes, body movements, mouse clicks, etc. The training speech may be verbal, non-verbal, a combination of verbal and non-verbal, or multimodal.
