Abstract:
Embodiments described herein provide for automatically classifying the types of devices that place calls to a call center. A call center system can detect whether an incoming call originated from voice assistant device using trained classification models received from a call analysis service. Embodiments described herein provide for methods and systems in which a computer executes machine learning algorithms that programmatically train (or otherwise generate) global or tailored classification models based on the various types of features of an audio signal and call data. A classification model is deployed to one or more call centers, where the model is used by call center computers executing classification processes for determining whether incoming telephone calls originated from a voice assistant device, such as Amazon Alexa® and Google Home®, or another type of device (e.g., cellular/mobile phone, landline phone, VoIP).
