    摘要: Various examples are provided for surveillance of an audio stream. In one example, a method includes identifying presence or absence of a sound type of interest at a location during a time period; selecting the sound type from a library of sound type information to provide a collection of sound type information; incorporating the collection on a device proximate to the location; acquiring an audio stream from the location by the device to provide a locational audio stream; analyzing the locational audio stream to determine whether a sound type in the collection is present in the audio stream; and generating a notification to a user or computer if a sound type in the collection is present. The device can acquire and process the audio stream. In another example, a bulk sound type information library can be generated by identifying sound types of interest including them based upon a confidence level.

    摘要: A confidential sentiment analysis method includes receiving call data, storing the call data including interaction metadata, generating a speech-to-text transcript corresponding to words spoken by one or more callers, generating an anonymized transcript by anonymizing personally identifiable words, and generating a sentiment score by analyzing the anonymized transcript. A computing system includes a processor, and a memory including computer executable instructions that, when executed by the one processor, cause the system to receive call data, store the call data, generate a speech-to-text transcript, generate an anonymized transcript by anonymizing personally identifiable words, and generate a sentiment score based on the anonymized transcript. A non-transitory computer readable medium contains program instructions that when executed, cause a computer system to receive call data, store the call data, generate a speech-to-text transcript, generate an anonymized transcript by anonymizing personally identifiable words, and generate a sentiment score based on the anonymized transcript.

    摘要: A network computer system for managing a network service (e.g., a transport service) can include a voice-assistant subsystem for generating dialogues and performing actions for service providers of the network service. The network computer system can receive, from a user device, a request for the network service. In response, the network computer system can identify a service provider and transmit an invitation to the provider device of the service provider. In response to the identification of the service provider for the request, the voice-assistant subsystem can trigger an audio voice prompt to be presented on the provider device and a listening period during which the provider device monitors for an audio input from the service provider. Based on the audio input captured by the provider device, the network computer system can determine an intent corresponding to whether the service provider accepts or declines the invitation.

    摘要: The present disclosure provides for improved hot word detection in electronic devices, particularly small form factor devices such as wearables. The electronic device includes an accelerometer onboard to pick up voice in noisy conditions, and utilizes the accelerometer to confirm that a particular user intended to activate the hot word detection, thereby reducing false detection of other people's voices.

    摘要: The present disclosure relates to an apparatus which communicates with a voice recognition device, and a method for controlling an apparatus with a voice recognition capability which operates in the Internet of Things environment configured by a 5G communication network. According to an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure, an apparatus with a voice recognition capability includes a container which has one open surface and accommodates objects therein, a door which opens/closes the container, a sensor which senses an open/closed state of the door, a microphone which receives an external voice, a voice recognizer which recognizes a voice command received from the microphone, and a controller which controls an active state and an inactive state of the voice recognizer, in which the controller may predict whether the voice recognizer needs to be activated using a deep neural network model learned through the machine learning.
