Patent number: 12347439Abstract: Systems and techniques are provided for processing audio data. For example, the systems and techniques can be used for personalized keyword spotting through multi-task learning (PK-MTL). A process can include obtaining an audio sample, generating a representation of a keyword based on the audio sample, and generating a representation of a speaker based on the audio sample. The speaker can be associated with the keyword. A first similarity score can be determined based on a reference representation and one or more of the representation of the keyword and a representation of the speaker. The reference representation can be associated with one or more of the keyword and the speaker. A keyword spotting (KWS) output can be generated based on analyzing the first similarity score against at least a first threshold, wherein the KWS output accepts or rejects the audio sample as including a target keyword.Type: GrantFiled: January 12, 2023Date of Patent: July 1, 2025Assignee: QUALCOMM IncorporatedInventors: Seunghan Yang, Byeonggeun Kim, Inseop Chung, Simyung Chang
