  • User interface-based restriction on content access
    Patent number: 12135823
    Abstract: The subject disclosure provides systems and methods for providing access to media content from a server based on a user interface of a client device through which the access is requested. A user may access certain media content, such as a song, album, playlist, a radio station, etc., only if a request for that content is initiated via a specific user interface, and when the user is a subscriber to a reduced subscription tier to a service of the server. To restrict the access in this way, an interface-specific token is generated at a server for each media content. The interface-specific token is received by a user device and is used for further access to the media content from the server.

  • Mixture model attention for flexible streaming and non-streaming automatic speech recognition
    Patent number: 12136415
    Abstract: A method for an automated speech recognition (ASR) model for unifying streaming and non-streaming speech recognition including receiving a sequence of acoustic frames. The method includes generating, using an audio encoder of an automatic speech recognition (ASR) model, a higher order feature representation for a corresponding acoustic frame in the sequence of acoustic frames. The method further includes generating, using a joint encoder of the ASR model, a probability distribution over possible speech recognition hypothesis at the corresponding time step based on the higher order feature representation generated by the audio encoder at the corresponding time step. The audio encoder comprises a neural network that applies mixture model (MiMo) attention to compute an attention probability distribution function (PDF) using a set of mixture components of softmaxes over a context window.
