  • Patent number: 11768961
    Abstract: Methods for speaker role determination and scrubbing identifying information are performed by systems and devices. In speaker role determination, data from an audio or text file is divided into respective portions related to speaking parties. Characteristics classifying the portions of the data for speaking party roles are identified in the portions to generate data sets from the portions corresponding to the speaking party roles and to assign speaking party roles for the data sets. For scrubbing identifying information in data, audio data for speaking parties is processed using speech recognition to generate a text-based representation. Text associated with identifying information is determined based on a set of key words/phrases, and a portion of the text-based representation that includes a part of the text is identified. A segment of audio data that corresponds to the identified portion is replaced with different audio data, and the portion is replaced with different text.

  • Publication number: 20230137692
    Abstract: A computing system scores importance of a number of tokens in an input token sequence to one or more prediction scores computed by a neural network model on the input token sequence. The neural network model includes multiple encoding layers. Self-attention matrices of the neural network model are received into an importance evaluator. The self-attention matrices are generated by the neural network model while computing the one or more prediction scores based on the input token sequence. Each self-attention matrix corresponds to one of the multiple encoding layers. The importance evaluator generates an importance score for one or more of the tokens in the input token sequence. Each importance score is based on a summation as a function of the self-attention matrices, the summation being computed across the tokens in the input token sequence, across the self-attention matrices, and across the multiple encoding layers in the neural network model.

  • Publication number: 20200137456
    Abstract: Various methods and systems for performing video management operations based on video credits segment detection. Video management systems include different types of video-on-demand (“VOD”) providers that manage videos using the VOD system. In operation, a video credits segment detection machine-learning system is accessed. The video credits segment detection machine-learning system operates based on a video credits segment detection model that supports determining video credits segment detection scores that indicate a likelihood that segments of videos are video credits segments. The video credits segment detection model is generated based on a plurality of video credits segment detection features. A segment of a video is accessed. Using the video credits segment detection model, a video credits segment detection score for the segment is automatically determined.
