    Returns:
        Mel-spectrogram of shape (1, 1, 128, 251)
    """
    # Compute mel-spectrogram
    mel_spec = librosa.feature.melspectrogram(
        y=audio,
        sr=sr,
        n_fft=512,
        hop_length=256,
        n_mels=128,
        fmin=0,

# Pad if shorter
if len(audio_segment) < 64000:
    audio_segment = np.pad(audio_segment, (0, 64000 - len(audio_segment)))

# Extract features

## Strengths & Weaknesses

### Strengths ✅
- Perfect live human detection (100% accuracy - never misses a live person)
- Perfect precision on voicemail (100% - zero false positives)
- Very fast inference (11ms - 65x faster than alternatives)
- Tiny memory footprint (18MB - 67x smaller than alternatives)
- Simple preprocessing (just mel-spectrograms, no transformers)
- Real-time capable for production systems
- Multi-worker friendly
- Excellent F1 score (82.46%) showing balanced performance

### Weaknesses ❌
- Lower recall on voicemail detection (70.15% - misses some voicemails)
- May classify some voicemails as live humans (30% false negatives)
- Less sophisticated than transformer-based models
- Trade-off: prioritizes not missing live humans over catching all voicemails

## Evaluation Results

### Full Test Dataset (101 samples)

| Category | Correct | Total | Accuracy |
|----------|---------|-------|----------|
| Live Human | 34 | 34 | 100.0% |
| Voicemail | 47 | 67 | 70.15% |
| **Overall** | **81** | **101** | **80.20%** |

### Confusion Matrix

|                | Predicted Live Human | Predicted Voicemail |
|----------------|---------------------|---------------------|
| **Actual Live Human** | 34 (True Negative) | 0 (False Positive) |
| **Actual Voicemail** | 20 (False Negative) | 47 (True Positive) |

### Key Metrics Summary

- **Precision (Voicemail):** 100.00% - When it says voicemail, it's always correct
- **Recall (Voicemail):** 70.15% - Catches 70% of all voicemails
- **F1 Score:** 82.46% - Balanced harmonic mean of precision and recall
- **Live Human Accuracy:** 100.00% - Never misclassifies a live person

**Note:** The model is tuned to never miss a live human caller, which results in some voicemails being classified as live humans. This is ideal for customer service scenarios where missing a live caller is worse than occasionally forwarding a voicemail to a human agent.

## Optimization Tips

### For Production Deployment

1. **Use ONNX Runtime optimizations:**
   ```python
   sess_options = ort.SessionOptions()
   sess_options.graph_optimization_level = ort.GraphOptimizationLevel.ORT_ENABLE_ALL
   session = ort.InferenceSession("model.onnx", sess_options)
   ```

2. **Batch processing for multiple calls:**
   ```python
   # Process multiple audio samples at once
   batch_input = np.stack([mel_spec1, mel_spec2, mel_spec3])  # Shape: (3, 1, 128, 251)
   outputs = session.run(None, {"input": batch_input})
   ```

3. **Reuse feature extraction:**
   Cache mel-filterbank computation for faster repeated processing.
