US Patent 10037313 Automatic smoothed captioning of non-speech sounds from audio

A content server accessing an audio stream, and inputs portions of the audio stream into one or more non-speech classifiers for classification, the non-speech classifiers generating, for portions of the audio stream, a set of raw scores representing likelihoods that the respective portion of the audio stream includes an occurrence of a particular class of non-speech sounds associated with each of the non-speech classifiers. The content server generates binary scores for the sets of raw scores, the binary scores generated based on a smoothing of a respective set of raw scores. The content server applies a set of non-speech captions to portions of the audio stream in time, each of the sets of non-speech captions based on a different one of the set binary scores of the corresponding portion of the audio stream.
