  • Publication number: 20190034937
    Abstract: Problem prediction method and system are provided. The prediction method includes receiving a request sent by a client, and obtaining a track of user activities of the client, the track of user activities including at least one of: call information of at least one RPC between the client and a server in a specified time period, or at least one URL of the server accessed by the client; extracting model input data from the track of user activities; and inputting the model input data into a problem classification model to predict a problem. The present disclosure uses a problem classification model to predict a problem, extracts model input data from a track of user activities as features for predicting the problem. In a process of prediction of a problem, manual operations are reduced, and the accuracy of the prediction is improved, while the timeliness is guaranteed at the same time.

  • Patent number: 10176811
    Abstract: A method and an apparatus of extracting voiceprint information based on neural network are disclosed. The method includes: extracting a phonetic acoustic feature from an input voice segment; inputting the phonetic acoustic feature into a voiceprint model trained based on a neural network, and extracting a bottleneck feature of the neural network in the voiceprint model; and mapping frame vectors of the bottleneck feature of the neural network into a single-frame voiceprint expression vector, which serves as voiceprint information corresponding to the input voice segment. The neural network-based voiceprint information extraction method and apparatus extract voiceprint information of a voice segment using a voiceprint model trained based on a neural network, and thus the extraction process is relatively simple, and a short-time voice segment can be processed in a better manner.
