1. A computer implemented method comprising:
- ingesting a communication stream associated with a geographic region;
selecting a communication clip from within the communication stream;
computing a clip score from characteristics of the communication clip, the clip score indicating a likelihood of the communication stream including event information related to an event type that occurs with less than a threshold frequency within the geographic region;
determining further processing of the communication clip is warranted based on the likelihood indicated by the clip score;
allocating computing resources to further process the communication clip;
extracting event parameters from the communication clip utilizing the allocated computing resources;
computing an event score from the extracted event parameters; and
detecting a previously unidentified event of the event type in the geographic region based on the event score.

Abstract
The present invention extends to methods, systems, and computer program products for detecting events from ingested communication streams. A communication (e.g., audio) stream is ingested. A communication (e.g., audio) clip is selected from within the ingested communication stream. A clip score indicating a likelihood of the communication stream including event information is computed. Computing resources are allocated to further process the communication clip based on the clip score indicating that further processing is warranted. An event score is computed from event parameters extracted from the communication clip. An event is detect based on the event score.

17. A system comprising:
-
a processor; system memory coupled to the processor and storing instructions configured to cause the processor to; ingest an audio stream broadcast over a communication channel in a geographic region; select an audio clip from within the audio stream; evaluate the audio clip for an event content probability, the event probability indicating evidence of the audio clip including event information related to an event type that occurs with less than a specified threshold frequency within the geographic region; determine further processing of the audio clip is warranted based on the evidence indicated by the event content probability; allocate computing resources to further process the audio clip; extract event parameters from the audio clip utilizing the allocated computing resources; and detect a previously unidentified event of the event type in the geographic region based on the extracted event parameters. - View Dependent Claims (18, 19, 20)
