Abstract

An approach to speech recognition, and in particular trigger word detection, implements fixed feature extraction form waveform samples with a neural network (NN). For example, rather than computing Log Frequency Band Energies (LFBEs), a convolutional neural network is used. In some implementations, this NN waveform processing is combined with a trained secondary classification that makes use of phonetic segmentation of a possible trigger word occurrence.
