  • Patent number: 12670927
    Abstract: A computerized system and method may process and predict stress levels for audio data using a machine learning based framework. A computerized system including a processor and a memory may calculate a buffer length based on a plurality of audio attributes (e.g., of a given audio input or data item), extract an audio buffer from an audio data item based on the calculated length, and predict, using a machine learning model, a stress level for the audio buffer or data item. Some embodiments of the invention may include extracting a buffer of a length determined dynamically for different audio inputs, e.g., to ensure coherency between audio attributes or features extracted from different audio inputs having different audio characteristics. In some embodiments, audio features which may be considered by the model may include, e.g., a plurality of gradients between mel-frequency cepstrum coefficients computed for relevant audio buffers or inputs.

  • Patent number: 12548013
    Abstract: A device, system and method for accelerated compliance testing for real-time detection of suspicious transactions in a transaction stream. A machine learning model may determine a global trend of cumulative transaction behavior based on all, a majority or a representative subset, of the stream of transactions. For each transaction in the stream, a skip rule engine may sort each security compliance test to be skipped or not skipped based on the test's relevance to the global trend of the cumulative transaction behavior. The not skipped security compliance tests may be executed in real-time for each transaction in the stream to generate real-time partial security assessments therefore comprising real-time suspicious transaction alerts. The remaining tests may be skipped in real-time and executed, at a time delay after transaction times, to generate time delayed supplemental security assessments therefore comprising time delayed suspicious transaction alerts to complete all compliance testing.
