  • Patent number: 12087320
    Abstract: A system may be configured to detect custom acoustic events, where the system generates an acoustic event profile for the custom acoustic event based on a natural language description provided by a user and using an audio sample of the described acoustic event. For example, the user may describe the custom acoustic event as “dog bark.” The system may ask the user questions to refine the description (e.g., dog breed, dog gender, age, etc.). Using an audio sample of the refined description, the system may then determine that audio captured in the user's environment is a potential sample of the custom acoustic event. Such captured audio may be presented to the user for confirmation, and then may be used to detect future occurrences of the custom acoustic event in the user's environment.

  • Patent number: 12068001
    Abstract: Techniques for detecting certain acoustic events from audio data are described. A system may perform event aggregation for certain types of events before sending an output to a device representing the event is detected. The system may bypass the event aggregation process for certain types of events that the system may detect with a high level of confidence. In such cases, the system may send an output to the device when the event is detected. The system may be used to detect acoustic events representing presence of a person or other harmful circumstances (such as, fire, smoke, etc.) in a home, an office, a store, or other types of indoor settings.

  • Patent number: 12039998
    Abstract: An acoustic event detection system may employ self-supervised federated learning to update encoder and/or classifier machine learning models. In an example operation, an encoder may be pre-trained to extract audio feature data from an audio signal. A decoder may be pre-trained to predict a subsequent portion of audio data (e.g., a subsequent frame of audio data represented by log filterbank energies). The encoder and decoder may be trained using self-supervised learning to improve the decoder's predictions and, by extension, the quality of the audio feature data generated by the encoder. The system may apply federated learning to share encoder updates across user devices. The system may fine-tune the classifier to improve inferences based on the improved audio feature data. The system may distribute classifier updates to the user device(s) to update the on-device classifier.
