    摘要: A monitored space is monitored including the production of a first audio signal from received acoustic energy. The first audio signal is then processed against a whitelist of acoustic profiles and, based on lack of substantial correspondence with any of the acoustic profiles, a drone is navigated toward an apparent position of an apparent source. While in-flight, additional acoustic energy is received and a second audio signal is produced from the additional acoustic energy. The second audio signal is processed against the whitelist and, based on lack of substantial correspondence with any of the acoustic profiles of the whitelist, an investigate mode of the drone is initiated. The investigate mode includes notifying a remote monitor and supplying the remote monitor with an audiovisual feed. Responsive to a characterization by the remote monitor, an entry of the whitelist may be updated, added or replaced.

    摘要: Aspects of the disclosure relate to voice biometric authentication in a virtual assistant. In some embodiments, a computing platform may receive, from a user device, an audio file comprising a voice command to access information related to a user account. The computing platform may retrieve one or more voice biometric signatures from a voice biometric database associated with the user account, and apply a voice biometric matching algorithm to compare the voice command of the audio file to the one or more voice biometric signatures to determine if a match exists between the voice command and one of the one or more voice biometric signatures. In response to determining that a match exists, the computing platform may retrieve information associated with the user account, and then send, via the communication interface, the information associated with the user account to the user device.

    摘要: Methods, apparatus, systems, and articles of manufacture are disclosed to improve media identification. An example apparatus includes a hash handler to generate a first set of reference matches by performing hash functions on a subset of media data associated with media to generate hashed media data based on a first bucket size, a candidate determiner to identify a second set of reference matches that include ones of the first set, the second set including ones having first quantities of hits that did not satisfy a threshold, determine second quantities of hits for ones of the second set by matching ones to the hash tables based on a second bucket size, and identify one or more candidate matches based on at least one of (1) ones of the first set or (2) ones of the second set, and a report generator to generate a report including a media identification.
