  • Publication number: 20180005626
    Abstract: Examples disclosed herein involve obfuscating training data. An example method includes computing a sequence of acoustic features from audio data of training data, the training data comprising the audio data and a corresponding text transcript; mapping the acoustic features to acoustic model states to generate annotated feature vectors, the annotated feature vectors comprising the acoustic features and corresponding context from the text transcript; and providing a randomized sequence of the annotated feature vectors as obfuscated training data to an audio analysis system.

  • Publication number: 20160133251
    Abstract: Examples of processing audio data are described. In certain examples, a transcript language model is based on text data representative of a transcript associated with the audio data. The audio data is processed to determine at least a set of confidence values for language elements in a text output of the processing, wherein the processing uses the transcript language model. The set of confidence values enable a determination to be made. The determination relates to whether the text data is associated with said audio data based on said set of confidence values.

  • Publication number: 20110288395
    Abstract: A non-invasive device adapted to measure intraocular pressure (IOP) comprising: a pressure sensor mounted on a soft contact lens to be worn on the eye of a subject, wherein the device is adapted such that, when worn on the eye, the pressure sensor is located at or near the transitional region of the cornea. The pressure sensor communicates wirelessly to an external controlling device through a magnetic field-based telemetry system that serves to power the pressure sensor and transmit the pressure measurements to the external device.
