Systems, methods, and other embodiments associated with computer distress-call detection and authentication are described. In one embodiment, a method includes detecting a human voice in audio content of a radio signal. Speech is recognized in the human voice to transform the human voice into text and vocal metrics. Feature scores are generated that represent features of the recognized speech based at least in part on the vocal metrics. The human voice is then classified as either a hoax distress call or an authentic distress call based on the feature scores. An alert is then presented indicating that the human voice is one of the hoax distress call or the authentic distress call.

Computerized distress call detection and authentication

Systems, methods, and other embodiments associated with acoustic detection of changes in mass of cargo carried by a vehicle are described herein. In one example method for acoustic cargo surveillance, a first acoustic output of a vehicle carrying cargo at a first time of surveillance of the vehicle is recorded. Then, a second acoustic output of the vehicle at a subsequent time in the surveillance of the vehicle carrying the cargo is recorded. A change in a mass of the cargo carried by the vehicle is acoustically detected based at least on an acoustic change between the first acoustic output and the second acoustic output. An electronic alert is generated that the mass of the cargo has changed based on the acoustic change.

Systems, methods, and other embodiments associated with computer deepfake detection are described. In one embodiment, a method includes converting audio-visual content of a person delivering a speech into a set of time series signals. Residual time series signals of residuals that indicate an extent to which the time series signals differ from machine learning estimates of authentic delivery of the speech by the person are generated. Residual values from one synchronous observation of the residual time series signals are placed into an array of residual values for a point in time. A sequential analysis of the residual values of the array is performed to detect an anomaly in the residual values for the point in time. In response to detection of the anomaly, an alert that deepfake content is detected in the audio-visual content is generated.

Deepfake detection using synchronous observations of machine learning residuals

The disclosed system produces synthetic signals for testing machine-learning systems. During operation, the system generates a set of N composite sinusoidal signals, wherein each of the N composite sinusoidal signals is a combination of multiple constituent sinusoidal signals with different periodicities. Next, the system adds time-varying random noise values to each of the N composite sinusoidal signals, wherein a standard deviation of the time-varying random noise values varies over successive time periods. The system also multiplies each of the N composite sinusoidal signals by time-varying amplitude values, wherein the time-varying amplitude values vary over successive time periods. Finally, the system adds time-varying mean values to each of the N composite sinusoidal signals, wherein the time-varying mean values vary over successive time periods. The time-varying random noise values, amplitude values and mean values can be selected through a roll-of-the-die process from a library of values, which are learned from industry-specific signals.

Systems, methods, and other embodiments associated with acoustic fingerprint identification of devices are described. In one embodiment, a method includes generating a target acoustic fingerprint from acoustic output of a target device. A similarity metric is generated that quantifies similarity of the target acoustic fingerprint to a reference acoustic fingerprint of a reference device. The similarity metric is compared to a threshold. In response to a first comparison result of the comparing of the similarity metric to the threshold, the target device is indicated to match the reference device. In response to a second comparison result of the comparing of the similarity metric to the threshold, it is indicated that the target device does not match the reference device.
