  • VISUAL LIVENESS DETECTION
    Publication number: 20170039440
    Abstract: In an approach for visual liveness detection, a video-audio signal related to a speaker speaking a text is obtained. The video-audio signal is split into a video signal which records images of the speaker and an audio signal which records a speech spoken by the speaker. Then a first sequence indicating visual mouth openness is obtained from the video signal, and a second sequence indicating acoustic mouth openness is obtained based on the text and the audio signal. Synchrony between the first and second sequences is measured, and the liveness of the speaker is determined based on the synchrony.

  • Life-Cycle Modeling Based on Transaction and Social Media Data
    Publication number: 20170011419
    Abstract: A mechanism is provided for personalizing a user's E-commerce environment. Identified lifecycle state transactions associated with the user are modeled by performing a lifecycle state transition probability calculation utilizing collected social media data and transaction data. Utilizing the model of the identified lifecycle state transactions, a two-level Hidden Markov Model (HMM) lifecycle model is generated for current lifecycle states being experienced by the user. Utilizing the two-level HMM lifecycle model for current lifecycle states being experienced by the user, one or more future behavioral predictions are generated with regard to the user's lifecycle. One or more E-commerce recommendations are then issued to the user based on the one or more future behavioral predictions.
