Systems and methods for using machine learning techniques for network-implemented spam call detection

Abstract:

A system described herein may provide a technique for Embodiments described herein provide for the use of machine learning, artificial intelligence, and/or other techniques for network-implemented spam call detection. Calls may be screened prior to notifying a called User Equipment ("UE") that a call has been placed to the called UE. A Machine Learning Spam Detection Component ("MLSDC") may screen a call, such as a voice call, by initiating a call session between the MLSDC and a calling UE, from which the call was requested. Via the established call session, the MLSDC may receive communications, such as voice communications, from the UE, and may determine a measure of likelihood that the call request is associated with spam by using machine learning or other techniques to compare the received communications against one or more models that indicate attributes of calls that have been identified as spam.
