Publication number: 20160085858Abstract: Apparatuses, systems, methods, and media for filtering a data stream are provided. The data stream is analyzed based on an acoustic parameter to determine extraneous portions in which a first predetermined condition is satisfied. When a first extraneous portion is separated from a second extraneous portion by a non-extraneous portion in which the first predetermined condition is not satisfied, it is determined whether the first extraneous portion being separated from the second extraneous portion by the non-extraneous portion satisfies a second predetermined condition. At least one of the first extraneous portion and the second extraneous portion is deleted from the data stream to produce a filtered data stream in response to determining the second predetermined condition is satisfied.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 25, 2015Publication date: March 24, 2016Applicant: AT&T INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY I, L.P.Inventors: Yeon-Jun KIM, I.

Publication number: 20160078360Abstract: Disclosed herein are systems, methods, and non-transitory computer-readable storage media for performing trend analysis of speech. A system practicing the method receives a speech trend analysis request having candidate feature constraints, an objective function with respect to a speech trend to be analyzed, and a set of speech record constraints. The system selects a subset of speech records from the group of speech records based on the set of speech record constraints to yield selected speech records, identifies features in the selected speech records based on the set of candidate feature constraints to yield identified features, and assigns a weight to each of the identified features based on the objective function. Then the system ranks the identified features by their respective weights to yield ranked identified features, and outputs at least one of the ranked identified features associated with a speech-based trend in response to the speech trend analysis request.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 30, 2015Publication date: March 17, 2016Inventors: ILYA Dan MELAMED, Mazin GILBERT

Patent number: 9183177Abstract: Methods, apparatuses, and media for filtering a data stream are provided. The data stream is partitioned into a plurality of data stream segments. An acoustic parameter of each of the data stream segments is measured, and it is determined whether the acoustic parameter of each of the data stream segments satisfies a predetermined condition. Extraneous segments of the data stream segments are identified in which the predetermined condition is satisfied, and it is determined whether the extraneous segments have a predetermined relationship in the data stream. The extraneous segments are deleted from the data stream to produce a filtered data stream in response to the extraneous segments having the predetermined relationship.Type: GrantFiled: April 22, 2013Date of Patent: November 10, 2015Assignee: AT&T INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY I, L.P.Inventors: Yeon-Jun Kim, I.

Publication number: 20150279361Abstract: Disclosed herein are systems, methods, and computer-readable storage media for improving speech recognition accuracy using textual context. The method includes retrieving a recorded utterance, capturing text from a device display associated with the spoken dialog and viewed by one party to the recorded utterance, and identifying words in the captured text that are relevant to the recorded utterance. The method further includes adding the identified words to a dynamic language model, and recognizing the recorded utterance using the dynamic language model. The recorded utterance can be a spoken dialog. A time stamp can be assigned to each identified word. The method can include adding identified words to and/or removing identified words from the dynamic language model based on their respective time stamps. A screen scraper can capture text from the device display associated with the recorded utterance. The device display can contain customer service data.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 12, 2015Publication date: October 1, 2015Inventors: Dan Melamed, Srinivas Bangalore, Michael Johnston

Publication number: 20150149162Abstract: Disclosed herein are systems, methods, and computer-readable storage devices for performing per-channel automatic speech recognition. An example system configured to practice the method combines a first audio signal of a first speaker in a communication session and a second audio signal from a second speaker in the communication session as a first audio channel and a second audio channel. The system can recognize speech in the first audio channel of the recording using a first model associated with the first speaker, and recognize speech in the second audio channel of the recording using a second model associated with the second speaker, wherein the first model is different from the second model. The system can generate recognized speech as an output from the communication session. The system can identify the models based on identifiers of the speakers, such as a telephone number, an IP address, a customer number, or account number.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 22, 2013Publication date: May 28, 2015Applicant: AT&T Intellectual Property I, L.P.Inventors: Ilya Dan MELAMED, Andrej LJOLJE
