Machine-learning-model based name pronunciation

A computing system comprising:

• a logic processor;
• and
• a storage device holding instructions executable by the logic processor to:
• initiate, via a computer conference application, a conference session between a user and a plurality of other conference participants;
• determine, via one or more attribute-specific-pronunciation machine-learning models previously trained based at least on one or more attributes shared by the plurality of other conference participants, an attribute-specific pronunciation of the user's name;
• compare, via computer-pronunciation-comparison logic, the attribute-specific pronunciation of the user's name to a preferred pronunciation of the user's name;
• and
• based on the attribute-specific pronunciation of the user's name being inconsistent with the preferred pronunciation of the user's name, automatically execute a pronunciation learning protocol to convey, via the computer conference application, the preferred pronunciation of the user's name to the plurality of other conference participants.

A computer-implemented method comprising:

• initiating, via a computer conference application, a conference session between a user and a plurality of other conference participants;
• determining, via a preferred-pronunciation machine-learning model previously trained based at least on pronunciations of the user's name by one or more people from a geographic region from which the user originates, a preferred pronunciation of the user's name;
• determining, via one or more attribute-specific-pronunciation machine-learning models previously trained based at least on one or more attributes shared by the plurality of other conference participants, an attribute-specific pronunciation of the user's name;
• comparing, via computer-pronunciation-comparison logic, the attribute-specific pronunciation of the user's name to the preferred pronunciation of the user's name;
• and
• based on the attribute-specific pronunciation of the user's name being inconsistent with the preferred pronunciation of the user's name, automatically executing a pronunciation learning protocol to convey, via the computer conference application, the preferred pronunciation of the user's name to the plurality of other conference participants.
