Abstract:
Implementations described herein relate to methods, systems, and computer-readable media to label incoming phone calls. A method to label an incoming phone call includes detecting the incoming phone call associated with a caller identifier (ID), determining a location associated with the call, and analyzing a call header of the call to determine one or more call characteristics. The method further includes determining, based on the location and the call characteristics, if the location is spoofed and determining, based on the caller ID and the call characteristics, if an access network associated with the call is spoofed. The method further includes applying a trained machine learning model to determine whether the call is a robocall. The method further includes assigning a label to the call that indicates whether the call is a spoofed call or is the robocall and sending the label to a callee device associated with the call.
