Abstract
Smart devices can be configured to collect and share various forms of context data about where a user is located (e.g., location), what a user will be doing (e.g., schedule), and what a user is currently doing (e.g., activity). This context data may be combined with fingerprint data (e.g., biometrics) to help identify the fingerprint data. For example, a location of a user may help associated speech detected at that location with the user. These associations may be stored in a mapping database that can be updated over time to reduce ambiguities in identification. The mappings in the database may be used to train a machine learning model to recognize fingerprints as identities, which may be useful in applications, such as speaker identification.
