Abstract
A method and system for determining the gender of a communicant in a communication is provided. According to the method, at least one aural segment corresponding to at least one word spoken by a communicant is identified. The aural segment is then analyzed by applying a gender detection model to the aural segment, and gender detection data is generated based on the application of the gender detection model.
Claims10
A non-transitory computer readable medium adapted to control a computer and comprising a plurality of code segments for determining the gender of a communicant in a communication, the non-transitory computer readable medium comprising:
- a code segment for receiving a separated telephonic communication, the separated telephonic communication comprising at least one of first constituent voice data and second constituent voice data;
- a code segment for receiving an input transmission of a gender detection model, the code segment for generating a gender detection model comprising:
- a code segment for receiving predetermined male and female voice data;
- and,
- a code segment for identifying aural characteristics and frequencies associated with the received male and female voice data;
- a code segment for identifying at least one aural segment in at least one of the first and second constituent voice data,
- a code segment for analyzing at least a portion of one of the first and second constituent voice data by applying a gender detection model to the identified aural segment of the first and second constituent voice data;
- a code segment for generating gender detection data corresponding to the analyzed portion of one of the first and second constituent voice data, the gender detection data comprising at least an indicator of the gender of the communicant of the analyzed portion of one of the first and second constituent voice data;
- a code segment for extracting frame level data from the identified aural segment;
- a code segment for generating an aural data packet having at least one frame, wherein the aural data packet is of a length such that psycholinguistics of the aural data packet is capable of being identified;
- and,
- a code segment for analyzing the aural data packet to generate at least one aural data packet statistic.
