ALEXANDRIA, Va., Sept. 17 -- United States Patent no. 12,417,772, issued on Sept. 16, was assigned to Pindrop Security Inc. (Atlanta).

"Robust spoofing detection system using deep residual neural networks" was invented by Tianxiang Chen (Atlanta) and Elie Khoury (Atlanta).

According to the abstract* released by the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office: "Embodiments described herein provide for systems and methods for implementing a neural network architecture for spoof detection in audio signals. The neural network architecture contains a layers defining embedding extractors that extract embeddings from input audio signals. Spoofprint embeddings are generated for particular system enrollees to detect attempts to spoof the enrollee's voice. Opti...
