Patent number: 11653062Abstract: Methods, apparatus, systems and articles of manufacture to determine audio source impact on an audience of media are disclosed. A disclosed example apparatus includes at least one memory, instructions in the apparatus, and processor circuitry to execute the instructions to: divide audio of monitored media into successive audio segments; perform speaker identification on the audio segments; generate confidence values for speakers identified in the audio segments; generate speaker identification data for ones of the speakers having respective confidence values that satisfy a threshold; and analyze the speaker identification data to determine a speaker impact on audience ratings data.Type: GrantFiled: May 27, 2022Date of Patent: May 16, 2023Assignee: The Nielsen Company (US), LLCInventors: Joseph Gregory Milavsky, Hashem Alsaket, James Bartelme, Jan Besehanic, Edward Stembier

Patent number: 11350164Abstract: Methods, apparatus, systems and articles of manufacture to determine audio source impact on an audience of media are disclosed. A disclosed example method includes dividing monitored audio into successive audio segments including a first audio segment and a second audio segment. The example method also includes generating a first confidence value from the first audio segment and a second confidence value from the second audio segment, the first confidence value associated with a presence of a first audio source in the first audio segment, the second confidence value associated with a presence of the first audio source in the second audio segment. The example method includes identifying whether the monitored audio is associated with a presentation of first media based on the first confidence value and the second confidence value.Type: GrantFiled: February 8, 2021Date of Patent: May 31, 2022Assignee: The Nielsen Company (US), LLCInventors: Joseph Gregory Milavsky, Hashem Alsaket, James Bartelme, Jan Besehanic, Edward Stembler
