Patent number: 12087320Abstract: 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.Type: GrantFiled: February 14, 2022Date of Patent: September 10, 2024Assignee: Amazon Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Qin Zhang, Qingming Tang, Ming Sun, Chao Wang, Steve Mark Lorusso, Andrew Thomas Bydlon, James Garnet Droppo, Viktor Rozgic, Sripal Mehta, Yang Liu

Patent number: 12039998Abstract: 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.

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.Type: GrantFiled: February 4, 2022Date of Patent: July 16, 2024Assignee: Amazon Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Chieh-Chi Kao, Qingming Tang, Ming Sun, Viktor Rozgic, Spyridon Matsoukas, Chao Wang
