Audio matching with semantic audio recognition and report generation

An article of manufacture comprising instructions that, when executed, cause a processor to at least:

• obtain first audio signature data associated with a first time period of media, the first audio signature data based on at least one of time or frequency features of the media during the first time period of media;
• obtain first semantic signature data associated with the first time period of the media and second semantic signature data associated with a second time period of the media, the first semantic signature data to represent a generalized characteristic of the media during the first time period of media, the second semantic signature data to represent the generalized characteristic of the media during the second time period of media;
• and
• when second audio signature data associated with the second time period of the media is unavailable, identify the media based on the first audio signature data associated with the first time period of media when the second semantic signature data associated with the second time period matches the first semantic signature data associated with the first time period of the media.

A method comprising:

• obtaining, by executing an instruction with a processor, first audio signature data associated with a first time period of media, the first audio signature data based on at least one of time or frequency features of the media during the first time period of media;
• obtaining, by executing an instruction with the processor, first semantic signature data associated with the first time period of the media and second semantic signature data associated with a second time period of the media, the first semantic signature data to represent a generalized characteristic of the media during the first time period of media, the second semantic signature data to represent the generalized characteristic of the media during the second time period of media;
• and
• when second audio signature data associated with the second time period of the media is unavailable, identifying, by executing an instruction with the processor, the media based on the first audio signature data associated with the first time period of media when the second semantic signature data associated with the second time period matches the first semantic signature data associated with the first time period of the media.
