    摘要: The present invention provides a system for activating personal assistance services. The system includes an audio data collector adapted to collect a sample of speech, a processing module, and a service activator couple to an output device. The processing module further includes an audio feature extractor that extracts a plurality of acoustic features from the sample of speech, and a classification unit that classifies a status of a user from the plurality of acoustic features. The Service activator activates a personal assistance service according to the status of the user classified by the classification unit.

    摘要: Methods, computer program products, and systems are presented. The method computer program products, and systems can include, for instance: examining communication data of a first human user to return one or more sentiment attribute of the communication data; processing the communication data to return sentiment neutral adapted communication data, the processing being in dependence on the one or more sentiment attribute; presenting to a second human user a sentiment neutral adapted communication, the sentiment neutral adapted communication being based on the sentiment neutral adapted communication data; augmenting second communication data to return adapted second communication data, the augmenting being in dependence of the one or more sentiment attribute; and presenting to the first human user an adapted second communication, the adapted second communication being based on the adapted second communication data.

    摘要: An information processing apparatus (2000) determines whether a content (30-1) of a relevant account (20-1) associated with a target account (10-1) and a content (30-2) of a relevant account (20-2) associated with a target account (10-2) are similar. When the content (30-1) and the content (30-2) are similar, the information processing apparatus (2000) executes predetermined processing related to the target account (10-1) and the target account (10-2).

    摘要: According to some aspects, disclosed methods and systems may include having a user input one or more speech commands into an input device of a user device. The user device may communicate with one or more components or devices at a local office or headend. The local office or the user device may transcribe the speech commands into language transcriptions. The local office or the user device may determine a mood for the user based on whether any of the speech commands may have been repeated. The local office or the user device may determine, based on the mood of the user, which content asset or content service to make available to the user device.

    摘要: A computer implemented method for automatically moderating a system response to a user's voice command. A voice command from a user is received. The voice command is associated with a system command, the system command including command requirements. A determination is the made as to whether the user is experiencing stress based on a stress level detected in the received voice command, and the command requirements dynamically adjusted when the user is determined to be experiencing stress.

    摘要: The reliable differentiation of human and artificial talkers is important for many automatic speaker verification applications, such as in developing anti-spoofing countermeasures against replay attacks for voice biometric authentication. A multi-microphone approach may exploit small movements of human talkers to differentiate between a human talker and an artificial talker. One method of determining the presence or absence of talker movement includes monitoring the variation of the inter-mic frequency-dependent phase profile of the received microphone array data over a period of time. Using spatial information with spectral-based techniques for determining whether an audio source is a human or artificial talker may reduce the likelihood of success of spoofing attacks against a voice biometric authentication system. The anti-spoofing countermeasure may be used in electronic devices including smart home devices, cellular phones, tablets, and personal computers.

    摘要: A system and method are provided for taxonomically distinguishing grouped segments of signal data captured in unconstrained manner for a plurality of sources. The system comprises a vector unit constructing for each of the grouped signal data segments at least one vector of predetermined form. A sparse decomposition unit selectively executes in at least a training system mode a simultaneous sparse approximation upon a joint corpus of vectors for a plurality of signal segments of distinct sources. The sparse decomposition unit adaptively generates at least one sparse decomposition for each vector with respect to a representative set of decomposition atoms. A discriminant reduction unit executes during the training system mode to derive an optimal combination of atoms from the representative set. A classification unit executes in a classification system mode to discover for an input signal segment a degree of correlation relative to each of the distinct sources.
