    摘要: In an example embodiment, there is disclosed herein an automatic speech recognition (ASR) system that employs speaker clustering (or speaker type) for transcribing audio. A large corpus of audio with corresponding transcripts is analyzed to determine a plurality of speaker types (e.g., dialects). The ASR system is trained for each speaker type. Upon encountering a new user, the ASR system attempts to map the user to a speaker type. After the new user is mapped to a speaker type, the ASR employs the speaker type for transcribing audio from the new user.

    摘要: A method is provided in one example embodiment that includes monitoring a sound pressure level with an endpoint (e.g., an Internet Protocol (IP) phone), which is configured for communications involving end users; analyzing the sound pressure level to detect a sound anomaly; and communicating the sound anomaly to a sound classification module. The endpoint can be configured to operate in a low-power mode during the monitoring of the sound pressure level. In certain instances, the sound classification module is hosted by the endpoint. In other implementations, the sound classification module is hosted in a cloud network.

    摘要: Systems, computer-implemented methods, and non-transitory computer-readable media are provided for performing contact tracing using acoustic communications within or across administrative domains. A computer-implemented method may include obtaining information associated with one or more acoustic tokens from a first user device of a first user where the one or more acoustic tokens were broadcast from an emitter device in an acoustic volume via an audio communication channel, obtaining information associated with one or more acoustic tokens broadcast from the emitter device from a second user device of a second user, determining whether the second user was exposed to a disease associated with the first user in the acoustic volume based on analyzing the information associated with the acoustic tokens from the first user device and the information associated with the acoustic tokens from the second user device, and providing information indicating whether the second user was exposed to the disease.
