  • Publication number: 20240105197
    Abstract: Provided is a method for enabling speaker de-identification in public audio data by leveraging adversarial perturbation. The method may include receiving audio data associated with at least one voice sample. One or more of the voice sample(s) may be perturbed toward an edge of a decision boundary of at least one classifier model. One pitch of each voice sample may be perturbed to shift each voice sample across the decision boundary of the at least one classifier model to provide at least one de-identified voice sample. A media file with the at least one de-identified voice sample may be encoded. A system and computer program product are also disclosed.

  • Patent number: 11764553
    Abstract: A smart power transmission line inspection system, related to the technical field of robotic inspection. The smart power transmission line inspection system comprises an inspection robot, an activation/deactivation device, and a control and processing terminal. The activation/deactivation device is used for activating or deactivating the inspection robot according to an activation/deactivation instruction. The inspection robot is used for inspection along a power transmission line according to an inspection instruction, and the inspection robot is also used for obtaining inspection data and for transmitting the inspection data to the control and processing terminal, wherein the inspection instruction is a pre-set inspection instruction pre-set for the inspection robot, or the inspection instruction is sent by the control and processing terminal and received by the inspection robot.

  • Patent number: 11676610
    Abstract: Acoustic signatures can be used in connection with a voice-enabled computer system. An acoustic signature can be a specific noise pattern (or other sound) that is played while the user is speaking and that is mixed in the acoustic channel with the user's speech. The microphone of the voice-enabled computer system can capture, as recorded audio, a mix of the acoustic signature and the user's voice. The voice-enabled computer system can analyze the recorded audio (locally or at a backend server) to verify that the expected acoustic signature is present and/or that no previous acoustic signature is present.
