Improving Acoustic Echo Cancellation for Voice Assistants Using Neural Echo Suppression and Multi-Microphone Noise Reduction

ICASSP 2024accepted

Keyword spotting (KS) and automatic speech recognition (ASR) on smart speakers in a home environment with interfering signals from loudspeakers are challenging tasks to this day, despite improvements in acoustic echo cancellation (AEC) systems. In this work we propose to combine a single microphone…

Efficient Knowledge Distillation for RNN-Transducer Models

ICASSP 2021accepted

Knowledge Distillation is an effective method of transferring knowledge from a large model to a smaller model. Distillation can be viewed as a type of model compression, and has played an important role for on-device ASR applications. In this paper, we develop a distillation method for RNN-Transduce…

Monophone-Based Background Modeling for Two-Stage On-Device Wake Word Detection

ICASSP 2018accepted

Accurate on-device wake word detection is crucial to products with far-field voice control such as the Amazon Echo. It is quite challenging to build a wake word system with both low False Reject Rate (FRR) and low False Alarm Rate (FAR) in real scenarios where there are various types of background s…
