Currently the hold classifier fires navigate_likely on any non-music audio window, which serves as a proxy for agent pickup. This works for simple cases but has weaknesses:

  • Lucent-style IVRs play periodic speech announcements over music — these fire navigate_likely falsely, causing S2S to reconnect and hear another announcement before pausing again
  • No distinction between: live human speech, automated "thank you for holding" announcements, silence, DTMF beeps

Goal: A dedicated live_agent_confirmed signal with higher specificity than the current navigate_likely threshold.

Approach options:

  • Audio-feature classifier: sustained non-music speech (natural speech ZCR + prosody patterns + >N seconds duration)
  • Transcript-based: once S2S reconnects, wait for the first transcribed turn and score it as human vs automated before committing to conversation mode
  • Hybrid: low-latency audio gate to reconnect S2S, then transcript confirmation before Imogen speaks

This would also reduce unnecessary S2S reconnects on Lucent-style periodic announcement IVRs.

Fix Plan

To address the issue, we will implement a hybrid approach that combines audio-feature classification and transcript-based confirmation.

Step 1: Audio-Feature Classifier

Implement a low-latency audio gate using a sustained non-music speech classifier. This will reconnect S2S when speech is detected.

import librosa
import numpy as np

def is_speech(audio_signal, threshold=0.5, duration=3):
    # Calculate zero-crossing rate (ZCR) and prosody patterns
    zcr = librosa.feature.zero_crossing_rate(audio_signal)
    prosody = librosa.feature.spectral_centroid(audio_signal)
    
    # Check if speech is sustained for >N seconds
    if zcr.mean() > threshold and prosody.mean() > threshold and len(audio_signal) > duration * 16000:
        return True
    return False

Step 2: Transcript-Based Confirmation

Once S2S reconnects, wait for the first transcribed turn and score it as human vs automated before committing to conversation mode.

import torch
from transformers import AutoModelForSequenceClassification, AutoTokenizer

def is_human_speech(transcript, model_name="distilbert-base-uncased"):
    # Load pre-trained model and tokenizer
    model = AutoModelForSequenceClassification.from_pretrained(model_name)
    tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained(model_name)
    
    # Tokenize transcript and classify as human or automated
    inputs = tokenizer(transcript, return_tensors="pt")
    outputs = model(**inputs)
    logits = outputs.logits
    probabilities = torch.nn.functional.softmax(logits, dim=1)
    return torch.argmax(probabilities) == 0  # 0: human, 1: automated

Step 3: Hybrid Approach

Combine the audio-feature classifier and transcript-based confirmation to generate the live_agent_confirmed signal.

def live_agent_confirmed(audio_signal, transcript):
    if is_speech(audio_signal) and is_human_speech(transcript):
        return True
    return False

Verification

Verify the fix by testing the live_agent_confirmed signal with various audio inputs, including Lucent-style IVRs and human speech.

Extra Tips

  • Fine-tune the audio-feature classifier and transcript-based confirmation models using a dataset of labeled audio samples.
  • Monitor the performance of the live_agent_confirmed signal and adjust the thresholds and models as needed to achieve the desired specificity.
