Abstract
Automated decision making techniques are provided. For example, a technique for generating a decision associated with an individual or an entity includes the following steps. First, two or more data streams associated with the individual or the entity are captured. Then, at least one time-varying measure is computed in accordance with the two or more data streams. Lastly, a decision is computed based on the at least one time-varying measure. One form of the time-varying measure may include a measure of the coverage of a model associated with previously-obtained training data by at least a portion of the captured data. Another form of the time-varying measure may include a measure of the stability of at least a portion of the captured data. While either measure may be employed alone to compute a decision, preferably both the coverage and stability measures are employed. The technique may be used to authenticate a speaker.
