  • Patent number: 12763097
    Abstract: Speech and text analysis processing for detecting computer-generated speech is provided. Speech and audio from a voice call or other interaction between two entities may be monitored and analyzed using one or more machine models. Audio may be transcribed and the resulting words and phrases used in the audio analyzed by a machine model to determine a likelihood that the audio is computer-generated. The audio may be separately analyzed to evaluate characteristics such as tones, inflections, accents, pitch, pace, and the like to determine a further likelihood of whether the audio is computer-generated. A duration of the audio may be used as a scoring factor. The various probabilities and scores may be combined to provide a composite score.

    Abstract: The technology discloses a system for validation of generative AI model operators using preloaded query context connected to independent AI models in generative AI-driven trivia gameplay. The system includes a user interface connected to a generative AI model that generates trivia responses based on user input. A model superstructure between the user interface, the generative AI model, and independent validation model(s) facilitates the evaluation of the user input or trivia response by the validation model(s). The validation model(s) are provided with a pre-loaded query context to detect adherence to predetermined conditions. A consensus module receives the validation model's output and delivers the user input or trivia response to the generative AI model or user interface, respectively, based on the evaluation.

  • Patent number: 12651595
    Abstract: Verbal language analysis is provided to users. The user enrolls or subscribes for verbal language analysis or analytics. The user carries out or conducts a conversation with a third party. An intelligence device associated with the user records the conversation. The intelligence device performs verbal language analysis on the conversation. The verbal language analysis generates individual metrics for verbal factors of energy, word count, inflection, tone (e.g. pitch and sentiment), rate, and/or the like. A verbal intelligence index is determined from the individual metrics using aggregation, averaging, weighted averaging, and/or the like. An interface component generates views to display to the user for review of the conversation to facilitate better verbal performance during current and in future conversations.

A third speaker ID label may be determined for a third frame of a second window. First combined data representing at least the first frame and the third frame and second combined data representing at least the second frame and the third frame may be generated. First posterior data associated with the first frame and second posterior data associated with the third frame may be generated. Third posterior data associated with the second frame and fourth posterior data associated with the third frame may be generated. A determination may be made that the first speaker ID label and the third speaker ID label correspond to the same speaker.

  • Patent number: 12619830
    Abstract: Methods and apparatuses for optimizing performance of conversational interface applications using example forgetting include a server that retrieves training data comprising utterances each mapped to one or more known intents. The server determines a forgetting count for each utterance and selects utterances from the training data that have a forgetting count above a predetermined threshold. The server identifies whether the predicted intent associated with each utterance is accurate. The server generates updated training data comprising the selected utterances and corresponding predicted intents, and trains conversational interface applications using the updated training data. The server validates performance of the trained conversational interface applications and saves the updated training data.
