  • Patent number: 11942083
    Abstract: The technology described in this document can be embodied in a computer-implemented method that includes receiving, at a processing system, a first signal including an output of a speaker device and an additional audio signal. The method also includes determining, by the processing system, based at least in part on a model trained to identify the output of the speaker device, that the additional audio signal corresponds to an utterance of a user. The method further includes initiating a reduction in an audio output level of the speaker device based on determining that the additional audio signal corresponds to the utterance of the user.

  • Publication number: 20160035344
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on computer storage media, for identifying the language of a spoken utterance. One of the methods includes receiving a plurality of audio frames that collectively represent at least a portion of a spoken utterance; processing the plurality of audio frames using a long short term memory (LSTM) neural network to generate a respective language score for each of a plurality of languages, wherein the respective language score for each of the plurality of languages represents a likelihood that the spoken utterance was spoken in the language; and classifying the spoken utterance as being spoken in one of the plurality of languages using the language scores.

  • Publication number: 20150364129
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on a computer storage medium, for language identification. In some implementations, speech data for an utterance is received and provided to (i) a language identification module and (ii) multiple speech recognizers that are each configured to recognize speech in a different language. From the language identification module, language identification scores corresponding to different languages are received, the language identification scores each indicating a likelihood that the utterance is speech in the corresponding language. A language model confidence score that indicates a level of confidence that a language model has in a transcription of the utterance in a language corresponding to the language model is received. A language is selected based on the language identification scores and the language model confidence scores.
