US Patent 11069352 Media presence detection

Described herein is a system for media presence detection in audio. The system analyzes audio data to recognize whether a given audio segment contains sounds from a media source as a way of differentiating recorded media source sounds from other live sounds. In exemplary embodiments, the system includes a hierarchical model architecture for processing audio data segments, where individual audio data segments are processed by a trained machine learning model operating locally, and another trained machine learning model provides historical and contextual information to determine a score indicating the likelihood that the audio data segment contains sounds from a media source.
