SYSTEM-RESOURCE-BASED MULTI-MODAL INPUT FUSION

摘要

A multi-modal input fusion (MMIF) (200) is made scalable based on the resources available. When system resources are low, the MMIF module will limit the number of elements in each set of related interpretations. Additionally, the number of sets generated can be increased or reduced based on an amount of system resources available. In order to accommodate the scalable MMIF module, a resource profile (205) is provided to the MMIF describing the amount of resources (memory, processing power, etc.) available, and/or an amount of resources the MMIF module can utilize. Based on the amount of resources the MMIF module calculates threshold values that are used to adjust the number of sets produced and the number of elements included within each set.
