  • Publication number: 20260088023
    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.

  • Publication number: 20260065484
    Abstract: A computer implemented method for training a whole medical image foundation model, including: receiving a plurality of medical image datasets; extracting local sections of image data from the plurality of medical image datasets; obtaining one or more causal variables associated with the local sections and/or patient; training one or more self-supervised learning models based on the local sections of image data and the causal variables; combining the one or more trained self-supervised learning models with a deep learning network configured to combine a latent representation of the local sections of image data from the one or more trained self-supervised learning models into a patient-level representation; and combining, with the one or more trained self-supervised learning models and the deep learning network, at least one further network or function configured to accept the patient-level representation as input, the at least one further network or function operable to perform one or more patient-specific pre
