Publication number: 20250119626Abstract: A system processed a representation of a media content item using a trained machine learning model to identify whether the media content item is a modified media content item. The trained machine learning model outputs an indication of one or more modifications of the media content item. Responsive to determining that the one or more modifications satisfy a criterion, one or more operations are performed on the media content item in view of the one or more modifications to generate an updated media content item. The updated media content item is compared to known media content items to identify known material contained therein.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 6, 2023Publication date: April 10, 2025Inventors: Zafar Rafii, Erling Wold, Todd Patrick McGee, Richard Boulderstone

Patent number: 11816151Abstract: Embodiments cover identifying an unidentified media content item as a cover of a known media content item using lyrical contents. In an example, a processing device receives an unidentified media content item and determines lyrical content associated with the unidentified media content item. The processing device then determines a lyrical similarity between the lyrical content associated with the unidentified media content item and additional lyrical content associated with a known media content item of a plurality of known media content items. The processing device then identifies the unidentified media content item as a cover of the known media content item based at least in part on the lyrical similarity, resulting in an identified cover-media content item.Type: GrantFiled: May 15, 2020Date of Patent: November 14, 2023Assignee: Audible Magic CorporationInventor: Erling Wold

Publication number: 20230244710Abstract: A method and system classify media content items and then identify a subset of the classified media content items. In embodiments, audio features of a plurality of media content items are processed by one or more machine learning model to classify each of the media content items as containing music or not containing music. Those media content items not containing music are filtered out, digital fingerprints of those media content items that contain music are generated, and the digital fingerprints are used to identify those media content items that contain music.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 31, 2022Publication date: August 3, 2023Inventors: Erling Wold, Jay Friedman, Richard Boulderstone
