This part of the article struck me as very interesting:
KnuVerse solutions are based on patented authentication techniques using the human voice – even in extremely noisy environments – as one of the most secure forms of biometrics.
Of course that requires a very significant [[citation needed]]. I would like to see their performance in that task or at least the specific patents that allow them to provide the most secure authentication method even in extremely noisy environments.
EDIT: Google Patent shows nothing for KnuEdge, KnuPath or KnuVerse. They must have a very-differently-named shell company for the patents.
- blennon 10y agoThe company changed names somewhat recently from Intellisis (mentioned in the article). Try searching for that.
- anateus 10y agoHere's a patent that has Daniel S. Goldin as one of the assignees (His middle name is Saul according to wikipedia): https://patents.google.com/patent/CA2847689A1/en https://patents.google.com/patent/CA2847689A1/en
- daveguy 10y agoGood find! And a search for his name in Google Patents gives 59 results! https://patents.google.com/?inventor=Daniel+S.+Goldin https://patents.google.com/?inventor=Daniel+S.+Goldin
- mikeyouse 10y agoTry searching for "The Intellisis Corporation" Here's one relevant patent: https://patents.google.com/patent/CA2847686A1/ https://patents.google.com/patent/CA2847686A1/ "David C Bradley" seems to be the primary on most of the patents: https://patents.google.com/?assignee=The+Intellisis+Corporation https://patents.google.com/?assignee=The+Intellisis+Corporat...
- dgacmu 10y agoI find it amusing that they're touting it for an application where I find it quite likely that similar NN algorithms will excel at generating speech in someone else's voice. (c.f., "neural style transfer" in images, but applied to speech.) We're already getting pretty decent at this for video -- see, for example, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ohmajJTcpNk https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ohmajJTcpNk (Face2Face: Real-time Face Capture and Reenactment)
- dharma1 10y agowas just trying to find papers for that yesterday - neural style for voice/audio. Conceptually it sounds it should be doable, but looking at the actual implementation, I'm not sure it's doable at all with a CNN for audio.
- zopf 10y agoUnsure if it's CNN-based, but check out http://www.wowtune.net/ http://www.wowtune.net/
- dharma1 10y agovery impressive, even if a bit out of tune on the Autumn Leaves demo! They have a very good team with actual audio industry experience. Look forward to seeing more demos. It sounds like a phoneme based speech/singing synthesizer, similar to Yamaha Vocaloid. I wonder how much training data is required to extract the phonemes to create a "voice"
