Abstract

Some implementations process, using warm word model(s), a stream of audio data to determine a portion of the audio data that corresponds to particular word(s) and/or phrase(s) (e.g., a warm word) associated with an assistant command, process, using an automatic speech recognition (ASR) model, a preamble portion of the audio data (e.g., that precedes the warm word) and/or a postamble portion of the audio data (e.g., that follows the warm word) to generate ASR output, and determine, based on processing the ASR output, whether a user intended the assistant command to be performed. Additional or alternative implementations can process the stream of audio data using a speaker identification (SID) model to determine whether the audio data is sufficient to identify the user that provided a spoken utterance captured in the stream of audio data, and determine if that user is authorized to cause performance of the assistant command.
