  • Patent number: 11984129
    Abstract: A digital audio quality monitoring device uses a deep neural network (DNN) to provide accurate estimates of signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) from a limited set of features extracted from incoming audio. Some embodiments improve the SNR estimate accuracy by selecting a DNN model from a plurality of available models based on a codec used to compress/decompress the incoming audio. Each model has been trained on audio compressed/decompressed by a codec associated with the model, and the monitoring device selects the model associated with the codec used to compress/decompress the incoming audio. Other embodiments are also provided.

  • Patent number: 11960584
    Abstract: A system is provided for fraud prevention upscaling with a fraudster voice print watchlist. The system includes a processor and a computer readable medium operably coupled thereto, to perform fraud prevention operations which include receiving a first voice print of a user during a voice authentication request, accessing the fraudster voice print watchlist comprising voice print representatives for a plurality of voice print clusters each having one or more of a plurality of voice prints identified as fraudulent for a voice biometric system, determining that one or more of the voice print representatives in the fraudster voice print watchlist meets or exceeds a first biometric threshold for risk detection of the first voice print during the fraud prevention operations, and determining whether the first voice print matches a first one of the plurality of voice print clusters.

  • Patent number: 11895272
    Abstract: Systems for and methods of determining the priority of a call interaction include receiving a call interaction from a call center; validating, by a validation and transcription engine, that the call interaction is authentic; converting, by the validation and transcription engine, the call interaction into text; calculating, by the data calculation engine, a priority of the call interaction from the text and organization, location, and time information in the text by determining an important of words in the text and correlating the words to a priority class using a pre-trained algorithm that is trained on emergency-type and emergency services-type language; determining that the call interaction should be transmitted to the call center for initial handling by a call center agent; and transmitting the call interaction, the calculated priority, and the extracted information to the call center.

  • Patent number: 11841932
    Abstract: A system and method may adjust the threshold or other settings in a biometric comparison system, or provide a report or display of parameters. Over a series of comparisons of authentication biometric samples (e.g. authentication VPs) to enrollment biometric samples (e.g. enrollment VPs), the authentication samples may be stored, and scores resulting from the biometric comparisons may be stored in a first set of scores. A second set of biometric comparisons may be created, each using a pairing of a stored authentication biometric sample and an enrollment biometric sample, each biometric comparison resulting in a score, the scores forming a second set of scores. The first and second sets of scores may be combined to produce a third set of scores, and an iterative process may be performed over the third set of scores to update the parameters of the Gaussian distribution of the third set of scores.

  • Patent number: 11800014
    Abstract: A computer-implemented method for analyzing call interactions in an interactions database by a Proactive Fraud Exposure (PFE) engine is provided herein. The computer-implemented method may generate a voiceprint for each call interaction; (ii) use a machine learning technique to group the call interactions into one or more clusters based on respective voiceprints in the voiceprints database; (iii) store the one or more clusters; and (iv) rank and classifying the one or more clusters to yield a list of potential fraudsters. The computer-implemented method may further transmit the list of potential fraudsters to a user to enable the user to review said list of potential fraudsters and to add fraudsters from the list to a watchlist database.

  • Patent number: 11705134
    Abstract: Methods for voice authentication include receiving a plurality of mono telephonic interactions between customers and agents; creating a mapping of the plurality of mono telephonic interactions that illustrates which agent interacted with which customer in each of the interactions; determining how many agents each customer interacted with; identifying one or more customers an agent has interacted with that have the fewest interactions with other agents; and selecting a predetermined number of interactions of the agent with each of the identified customers. In some embodiments, the methods further include creating a voice print from first and second speaker components of each interaction; comparing the voice prints of a first selected interaction to the voice prints from a second selected interaction; calculating a similarity score between the voice prints; aggregating scores; and identifying the voice prints that are associated with the agent.

  • Publication number: 20230214850
    Abstract: A system and method for real-time fraud detection with a social engineering phoneme (SEP) watchlist of phoneme sequences may perform real-time fraud prevention operations including receiving incoming call interactions and grouping the call interactions into one or more clusters, each cluster associated with a speaker's voice based on voiceprints. For a pair of voiceprints in a cluster, a phoneme sequence is extracted for each voice print. From the extracted phoneme sequences, a similarity score is then calculated to determine if a match exists between the extracted phoneme sequences based on a threshold. If determined a match exists, the phoneme sequence may be added to a SEP watchlist.

  • Patent number: 11646038
    Abstract: A method for separating and authenticating speech of a speaker on an audio stream of speakers over an audio channel may include receiving audio stream data of the audio stream with speech from a speaker to be authenticated speaking with a second speaker. A voiceprint may be generated for each data chunk in the audio stream data divided into a plurality of data chunks. The voiceprint for each data chunk may be assessed as to whether the voiceprint has speech belonging to the speaker to be authenticated or to the second speaker using representative voiceprints of both speakers. An accumulated voiceprint may be generated using the verified data chunks with speech of the speaker to be authenticated. The accumulated voiceprint may be compared to the reference voiceprint of the speaker to be authenticated for authenticating the speaker speaking with the second speaker over the audio channel.
