In this work, we propose a classifier for distinguishing device-directed queries from background speech in the context of interactions with voice assistants. Applications include rejection of false wake-ups or unintended interactions as well as enabling wake-word free follow-up queries. Consider the example interaction: $Computer,~play~music, Computer,~reduce~the~volume$. In this interaction, the user needs to repeat the wake-word ($Computer$) for the second query. To allow for more natural interactions, the device could immediately re-enter listening state after the first query (without wake-word repetition) and accept or reject a potential follow-up as device-directed or background speech. The proposed model consists of two long short-term memory (LSTM) neural networks trained on acoustic features and automatic speech recognition (ASR) 1-best hypotheses, respectively. A feed-forward deep neural network (DNN) is then trained to combine the acoustic and 1-best embeddings, derived from the LSTMs, with features from the ASR decoder. Experimental results show that ASR decoder, acoustic embeddings, and 1-best embeddings yield an equal-error-rate (EER) of $9.3~%$, $10.9~%$ and $20.1~%$, respectively. Combination of the features resulted in a $44~%$ relative improvement and a final EER of $5.2~%$.
In this paper, we propose a streaming model to distinguish voice queries intended for a smart-home device from background speech. The proposed model consists of multiple CNN layers with residual connections, followed by a stacked LSTM architecture. T
How to effectively incorporate cross-utterance information cues into a neural language model (LM) has emerged as one of the intriguing issues for automatic speech recognition (ASR). Existing research efforts on improving contextualization of an LM ty
In this paper, we provide a series of multi-tasking benchmarks for simultaneously detecting spoofing at the segmental and utterance levels in the PartialSpoof database. First, we propose the SELCNN network, which inserts squeeze-and-excitation (SE) b
For most intelligent assistant systems, it is essential to have a mechanism that detects out-of-domain (OOD) utterances automatically to handle noisy input properly. One typical approach would be introducing a separate class that contains OOD utteran
Slot filling and intent detection have become a significant theme in the field of natural language understanding. Even though slot filling is intensively associated with intent detection, the characteristics of the information required for both tasks
