  • Publication number: 20240087592
    Abstract: Various embodiments of the present disclosure provide methods, apparatus, systems, computing devices, computing entities, and/or the like for pre-processing dual-channel voice data for an automatic speech recognition mode. The method comprises creating one or more spectrograms for each channel of the dual-channel voice data by applying fast Fourier transform and generating power spectral density. The one or more balanced power spectrograms are created by merging the spectrograms of the channels, and are provided as input for acoustic and language processing by an automatic speech recognition machine learning model.

  • Patent number: 8566370
    Abstract: A device receives, from a user device, a search query for media content within a content delivery network. The device identifies a group of relevant media content in the content delivery network, where the identifying is based on the search query, access restrictions of particular media content within the content delivery network, and/or a capability of the user device to present particular types of media content. The device associates sub-scores with each piece of media content in the group of relevant media content, and calculates a total score, for each piece of media content in the group of relevant media content, based on the sub-scores. The device ranks each piece of media content in the group of relevant media content, based on the total scores for each piece of media content, and sends, based on the search query, a list of the ranked, relevant media content to the user device.
