  • Patent number: 11854536
    Abstract: A keyword spotting apparatus, method, and computer-readable recording medium are disclosed. The keyword spotting method using an artificial neural network according to an embodiment of the disclosure may include obtaining an input feature map from an input voice; performing a first convolution operation on the input feature map for each of n different filters having the same channel length as the input feature map, wherein a width of each of the filters is w1 and the width w1 is less than a width of the input feature map; performing a second convolution operation on a result of the first convolution operation for each of different filters having the same channel length as the input feature map; storing a result of the second convolution operation as an output feature map; and extracting a voice keyword by applying the output feature map to a learned machine learning model.
