A data structure embodied on a computer-readable medium is disclosed. The data structure may include a database schema for arranging a competition among associated users in a structured query language (SQL) database. The database schema may include a grouping schema and a competition schema. The grouping schema may identify one or more associated contestants. The grouping schema may receive one or more inputs from a host contestant to identify and associate the one or more associated contestants. The competition schema may include a plurality of contests. Each contest may have relational data tables configured to receive selections of songs, albums, and/or artists from the contestants, and reward points based on those selections. The points may be rewarded to each contestant based on their corresponding selections. The sum of the points for each contestant may be accumulated to determine a score. The points may be rewarded based on one or more activity tracking parameters. The database schema may also employ an application. The application may provide access to the plurality of selections and scores in the SQL database. The application may also manage the contestants, the plurality of selections, the one or more activity tracking parameter and the scores for each of the contestant.

A data processing apparatus includes storage circuitry to store a plurality of sound recordings, receiving circuitry to receive input data indicative of one or more sounds detected by a microphone, selection circuitry to select, from the plurality of sounds recordings, one or more candidate sound recordings in dependence upon the input data and output circuitry to output data in dependence upon one or more of the candidate sound recordings.

A system and method for receiving one or more non-fungible tokens (NFTs) that are associated with links to digital assets, ownership information, NFT metadata, media content metadata, or other media content information. The system may associate the one or more NFTs with other NFTs to create a collection of NFTs that form a song, album, video, or other collection/combination of media content. The system may provide a NFT collectible player to interact with the combination of NFTs in a particular order or for a particular duration.

Methods and systems for processing audio signals containing speech data are disclosed. Biometric data associated with at least one speaker are extracted from an audio input. A correspondence is determined between the extracted biometric data and stored biometric data associated with a consenting user profile, where a consenting user profile is a user profile indicates consent to store biometric data. If no correspondence is determined, the speech data is discarded, optionally after having been processed.

Methods and systems are disclosed for providing segments of audio broadcasts in responses to user queries. The segments are provided, for example, in real time, with the segments being precise segments responsive to the search query or other search request, located, isolated, and provided to the requesting party or entity. The queried audio segments are found by matching a medium, known as a “word cloud”, obtained based on the query, with audio segments, obtained based on the query. The word cloud is continuously updated with time relevant terms, associated with the subject of the word cloud. The word cloud is applied to the audio segment to obtain the most relevant audio segments, which are resegmented from the audio segment.

The disclosure herein describes providing responses to natural language queries associated with transcripts at least by searching multiple indexes. A transcript associated with a communication among a plurality of speakers is obtained, wherein sets of artifact sections are identified in the transcript. A set of section indexes is generated from the transcript based on artifact type definitions. A natural language query associated with the transcript is analyzed using a natural language model and query metadata of the analyzed natural language query is obtained. At least one section index of the set of section indexes is selected based on the obtained query metadata and that selected at least one section index is searched. A response to the natural language query is provided including result data from the searched at least one search index, wherein the result data includes a reference to an artifact section referenced by the searched section index(es).
