  • Publication number: 20250095669
    Abstract: A fake voice detection method based on dual-track differential modeling includes: converting, by a pre-trained single/dual-track voice conversion model, a single-track audio into a stereo; extracting left and right-track Mel spectrogram features; performing texture enhancement on absolute values of differences between an original single-track Mel spectrogram feature and each of the left and right-track Mel spectrogram features; inputting texture enhancement results into left and right dual-branch feature extractors respectively to acquire a final attention map through feature extraction, processing and fusion; and inputting the final attention map into an attention pooling layer and a final binary classification layer to acquire a fake voice detection result.

  • Patent number: 12216693
    Abstract: The disclosed systems and methods provide a framework for a proactive prediction of the toxic propensity of an article. Prior to the publication and/or reception of comments to online content, the disclosed framework determines the toxic propensity of the content's context and/or specific words, sentences, sentiments, tone or other messages receivable from consumption of the content. Thus, disclosed framework performs proactive forecasting of the content's toxicity propensity”, which quantifies how likely the content is prone to incur or attract toxic comments. The framework can function and/or be configured to operate in a manner that can perform specifically adherent moderation actions that correspond to the content and control how the content can be interacted with, based on the toxic propensity determination, prior to the content's publication in an effort to thwart, prevent or stop toxic environments surrounding or stemming from the content from coming into existence.
