    Abstract: Disclosed herein are embodiments of systems, methods, and products comprises an authentication server for authentication leveraging multiple audio channels. The server receives an authentication request regarding a user upon the user interacting with a first electronic device. The server requests the first device to transmit a first audio file of an audio sample to the server. The audio sample may be the user's audio command or a machine-generated audio signal. The server requests a second electronic device to transmit a second audio file that is the recording of the same audio sample to the server. The second electronic device is a trusted device in proximity of the first device and executes an authentication function to enable the recording and transmitting of the audio sample. The server determines a similarity score between the first audio file and the second audio file and authenticates the user based on the similarity score.

    Abstract: A computer may segment a noisy audio signal into audio frames and execute a deep neural network (DNN) to estimate an instantaneous function of clean speech spectrum and noisy audio spectrum in the audio frame. This instantaneous function may correspond to a ratio of an a-priori signal to noise ratio (SNR) and an a-posteriori SNR of the audio frame. The computer may add estimated instantaneous function to the original noisy audio frame to output an enhanced speech audio frame.

    Abstract: The invention may verify calls to a telephone device by activating call forwarding to redirect calls for the telephone device to a prescribed destination; receiving a message from a server verifying the call; deactivating call forwarding to receive the call; and reactivating call forwarding when the call is concluded. In another embodiment, the invention may, in response to a telephone device initiating a call to a second telephone device installed with a particular application or software, transmit a message to a server causing it to instruct the second telephone device to deactivate call forwarding. In yet another embodiment, the invention may cause a server to receive a message from a prescribed location indicating that a call was received via call forwarding, and in response to the message, transmit an instruction to the intended recipient to deactivate the call forwarding if the call is verified as legitimate.

    Abstract: A system for generating channel-compensated features of a speech signal includes a channel noise simulator that degrades the speech signal, a feed forward convolutional neural network (CNN) that generates channel-compensated features of the degraded speech signal, and a loss function that computes a difference between the channel-compensated features and handcrafted features for the same raw speech signal. Each loss result may be used to update connection weights of the CNN until a predetermined threshold loss is satisfied, and the CNN may be used as a front-end for a deep neural network (DNN) for speaker recognition/verification. The DNN may include convolutional layers, a bottleneck features layer, multiple fully-connected layers and an output layer. The bottleneck features may be used to update connection weights of the convolutional layers, and dropout may be applied to the convolutional layers.
