Abstract: Methods, apparatus, systems and articles of manufacture are disclosed to identify media that has been pitch shifted, time shifted, and/or resampled. An example apparatus includes: memory; instructions in the apparatus; and processor circuitry to execute the instructions to: transmit a fingerprint of an audio signal and adjusting instructions to a central facility to facilitate a query, the adjusting instructions identifying at least one of a pitch shift, a time shift, or a resample ratio; obtain a response including an identifier for the audio signal and information corresponding to how the audio signal was adjusted; and change the adjusting instructions based on the information.

Abstract: Methods, apparatus, systems and articles of manufacture are disclosed to identify media. An example method includes: in response to a query, generating an adjusted sample media fingerprint by applying an adjustment to a sample media fingerprint; comparing the adjusted sample media fingerprint to a reference media fingerprint; and in response to the adjusted sample media fingerprint matching the reference media fingerprint, transmitting information associated with the reference media fingerprint and the adjustment.

Abstract: An audio file associated with a user voice query may be received at a user device. The audio file may be compared to a plurality of references, such as cache entries, corresponding to a plurality of other voice queries. Based on a determination that the voice query corresponds to one of the references, an operation associated with the voice query may be executed. An indication may be received that the operation was not an intended operation associated with the voice query. Based on receiving this indication, the incorrectly identified operation, associated reference, e.g., voice query, may be disabled for the user or the device. However, the cache entry may remain enabled for one or more of a plurality of other devices.

Abstract: Coordinating processing of audio queries is provided. A system receives a query. The system provides the query to a first digital assistant component and a second digital assistant component for processing. The system receives a first response to the query from the first digital assistant component, and a second response to the query from the second digital assistant component. The first digital assistant component can be authorized to access a database the second digital assistant component is prohibited from accessing. The system determines, based on a ranking decision function, to select the second response to the query from the second digital assistant component. The system provides, responsive to the selection, the second response from the second digital assistant to a computing device.

Abstract: A computer-implemented method of remotely influencing a performer at a live event is disclosed herein. The method, for example, can be implemented via a customer device including a display, a processor, and a memory configured to store an application that, when executed by the processor, causes the processor to perform the method. The method can include displaying a graphical user interface configured to receive user inputs, receiving a first user input including a user request for the performer to take a user-specified action during the live event, displaying terms and conditions associated with the user request, receiving a second user input including a user acceptance of the terms and conditions associated with the user request, and transmitting the user request to a performer device upon receiving the user acceptance of the terms and conditions associated with the user request.

Abstract: Methods, systems and computer program products are provided for determining acoustic feature vectors of query and target items in a first vector space, and mapping the acoustic feature vectors to a second vector space having a lower dimension. The distribution of vectors in the second vector space can then be used to identify items from the same songs, and/or items that are complementary. A mapping function is trained using a machine learning algorithm, such that complementary audio items are closer in the second vector space than the first, according to a given distance metric.

Abstract: A device may be configured to determine whether an audio file is a first type of audio file that is capable of being processed to recognize the voice query based on a characteristic of the audio file itself or a second type of audio file that may require speech recognition processing in order to recognize the voice query associated with the audio file. In determining whether the audio file is a first type of audio file or a second type of audio file, a query filter associated with the device may be configured to access one or more guidance queries. Using the one or more guidance queries, the device may classify the audio file as a first type of audio file or a second type of audio file based on receiving only a portion of the audio file, thereby improving the speed at which the audio file can be processed.
