  • Patent number: 11967310
    Abstract: A method for training hotword detection includes receiving a training input audio sequence including a sequence of input frames that define a hotword that initiates a wake-up process on a device. The method also includes feeding the training input audio sequence into an encoder and a decoder of a memorized neural network. Each of the encoder and the decoder of the memorized neural network include sequentially-stacked single value decomposition filter (SVDF) layers. The method further includes generating a logit at each of the encoder and the decoder based on the training input audio sequence. For each of the encoder and the decoder, the method includes smoothing each respective logit generated from the training input audio sequence, determining a max pooling loss from a probability distribution based on each respective logit, and optimizing the encoder and the decoder based on all max pooling losses associated with the training input audio sequence.
