  • Patent number: 9883040
    Abstract: Systems and methods for call detail record (CDR) analysis to determine a risk score for a call and identify fraudulent activity and for fraud detection in Interactive Voice Response (IVR) systems. An example method may store information extracted from received calls. Queries of the stored information may be performed to select data using keys, wherein each key relates to one of the received calls, and wherein the queries are parallelized. The selected data may be transformed into feature vectors, wherein each feature vector relates to one of the received calls and includes a velocity feature and at least one of a behavior feature or a reputation feature. A risk score for the call may be generated during the call based on the feature vectors.

  • Publication number: 20170372725
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatuses for audio event detection, where the determination of a type of sound data is made at the cluster level rather than at the frame level. The techniques provided are thus more robust to the local behavior of features of an audio signal or audio recording. The audio event detection is performed by using Gaussian mixture models (GMMs) to classify each cluster or by extracting an i-vector from each cluster. Each cluster may be classified based on an i-vector classification using a support vector machine or probabilistic linear discriminant analysis. The audio event detection significantly reduces potential smoothing error and avoids any dependency on accurate window-size tuning. Segmentation may be performed using a generalized likelihood ratio and a Bayesian information criterion, and the segments may be clustered using hierarchical agglomerative clustering. Audio frames may be clustered using K-means and GMMs.

  • Patent number: 9824692
    Abstract: The present invention is directed to a deep neural network (DNN) having a triplet network architecture, which is suitable to perform speaker recognition. In particular, the DNN includes three feed-forward neural networks, which are trained according to a batch process utilizing a cohort set of negative training samples. After each batch of training samples is processed, the DNN may be trained according to a loss function, e.g., utilizing a cosine measure of similarity between respective samples, along with positive and negative margins, to provide a robust representation of voiceprints.
