In general, the disclosure describes a computing system to automatically identify and classify audio input, including non-speech audio signals. The computing system may also add new classes based on only a limited number of examples of the new classes, to identify classes of sounds for which the system had not been trained.

Acoustic sound event detection system

In an example, a method for adapting a machine learning model includes receiving first input data; choosing a first set of unlabeled textual spans in the first input data, wherein the chosen first set of unlabeled textual spans is associated with a first domain; labeling the chosen first set of unlabeled textual spans to generate a labeled first set of textual spans; categorizing the labeled first set of textual spans to generate a categorized labeled first set of textual spans; receiving second input data; choosing a second set of unlabeled textual spans, wherein the second set of unlabeled textual spans is associated with a second domain; and adapting the machine learning model to the second domain based on the categorized second set of unlabeled textual spans that is generated based on the categorized labeled first set of textual spans.

Rapid adaptation to contemporary text datasets

Systems and methods for speech recognition are provided. In some aspects, the method comprises receiving, using an input, an audio signal. The method further comprises splitting the audio signal into auditory test segments. The method further comprises extracting, from each of the auditory test segments, a set of acoustic features. The method further comprises applying the set of acoustic features to a deep neural network to produce a hypothesis for the corresponding auditory test segment. The method further comprises selectively performing one or more of: indirect adaptation of the deep neural network and direct adaptation of the deep neural network.

Systems and methods for speech recognition in unseen and noisy channel conditions

Embodiments of the disclosed technologies include finding content of interest in an RF spectrum by automatically scanning the RF spectrum; detecting, in a range of frequencies of the RF spectrum that includes one or more undefined channels, a candidate RF segment; where the candidate RF segment includes a frequency-bound time segment of electromagnetic energy; executing a machine learning-based process to determine, for the candidate RF segment, signal characterization data indicative of one or more of: a frequency range, a modulation type, a timestamp; using the signal characterization data to determine whether audio contained in the candidate RF segment corresponds to a search criterion; in response to determining that the candidate RF segment corresponds to the search criterion, outputting, through an electronic device, data indicative of the candidate RF segment; where the data indicative of the candidate RF segment is output in a real-time time interval after the candidate RF segment is detected.

Autonomous intelligent radio

A computer-implemented method can include a speech collection module collecting a speech pattern from a patient, a speech feature computation module computing at least one speech feature from the collected speech pattern, a mental health determination module determining a state-of-mind of the patient based at least in part on the at least one computed speech feature, and an output module providing an indication of a diagnosis with regard to a possibility that the patient is suffering from a certain condition such as depression or Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD).

Systems for speech-based assessment of a patient's state-of-mind

The present invention relates to a method and apparatus for speaker-calibrated speaker detection. One embodiment of a method for generating a speaker model for use in detecting a speaker of interest includes identifying one or more speech features that best distinguish the speaker of interest from a plurality of impostor speakers and then incorporating the speech features in the speaker model.

Method and apparatus for speaker-calibrated speaker detection

The present invention relates to a method and apparatus for tailoring the output of an intelligent automated assistant. One embodiment of a method for conducting an interaction with a human user includes collecting data about the user using a multimodal set of sensors positioned in a vicinity of the user, making a set of inferences about the user in accordance with the data, and tailoring an output to be delivered to the user in accordance with the set of inferences.

Method and apparatus for tailoring the output of an intelligent automated assistant to a user

In one embodiment, the present invention is a method and apparatus for active noise cancellation. In one embodiment, a method for recognizing user speech in an audio signal received by a media system (where the audio signal includes user speech and ambient audio output produced by the media system and/or other devices) includes canceling portions of the audio signal associated with the ambient audio output and applying speech recognition processing to an uncancelled remainder of the audio signal.

Method and apparatus for active noise cancellation

An apparatus and a concomitant method for recognizing speech in a noisy environment are provided. The present method includes applying a first interpolation weight to a clean speech model to produce a weighted clean speech model, applying a second interpolation weight to a noise model to produce a weighted noise model, and deriving a noisy speech model directly from the weighted clean speech model and the weighted noise model. At least one of the first interpolation weight and the second interpolation weight is computed in a maximum likelihood framework.
