PCT designated stage expiredWO2025141559A1Speech recognitionMachine learningEncoder decoderAcoustic model
Automatic recognition of non-verbal messages in speech, and in particular to detection or analysis of prosodic multilayered analysis of intonation units such as prosodic unit prototypes and their multi-labeled variations, may form a hierarchical classification for the analysis of non¬ verbal information or cues in speech. A speech captured by a microphone is fed to a weakly- supervised deep learning acoustic model for speech recognition and transcription, that may be based on encoder-decoder Transformer architecture, such as Whisper by OpenAI. The model is trained to output multiple words form the text in the captured speech, to identify Intonation Units (IUs) that include one or more words, and associate non-verbal labels to each of the IUs. The labels may indicate a prototype, a discourse function (such as a conversation action), an emotion, an emphasis, or an attitude, as well as a genre of a part of, or whole of, the entire captured speech.

Adaptive virtual microphone for earbuds

Disclosed are systems and methods for adaptive noise cancellation (ANC) at a virtual microphone located at the eardrum of a wearer of an earphone. The techniques estimate the level of leakiness of ambient noise in the earphone from the magnitude of the gain of the transfer function of the feed forward loop filter of the ANC. Based on the estimated leakiness, the techniques estimate the transfer function of the feed forward loop filter to compensate for the difference in the effect of noise cancellation at the virtual microphone and error microphone. A bias term that represents the difference in the frequency response of the attenuated noise at the virtual and error microphone may be added to the adaptive feed forward algorithm. The ANC operation may apply the bias term to the adaptive feed forward loop filter to reduce the ambient noise at the eardrum rather than at the error microphone.
