Abstract: A computer-implemented method includes receiving enrollment audio from a user comprising a wake word to be enrolled for the device, preprocessing the enrollment audio to obtain a vector representation along at least a feature dimension and a temporal dimension, inputting the extracted vector representation to a trained encoding model to generate an embedding representation of the enrollment audio, wherein the encoding model includes a plurality of mixing blocks, and wherein the feature dimension and the temporal dimension of an output of a first layer of each mixing block are flipped for inputting to a second layer of the mixing block, and storing the generated embedding representation in a memory for use in detecting input of the enrolled wake word.

Abstract: There is provided a method and server for estimating an uncertainty parameter of a sequence of computer-implemented models comprising at least one machine learning algorithm (MLA). A set of labelled digital documents is received, which is to be processed by the sequence of models. For a given model of the sequence of models, at least one of a respective set of input features, a respective set of model-specific features and a respective set of output features are received. The set of predictions output by the sequence of models is received. A second MLA is trained to estimate uncertainty of the sequence of models based on the set of labelled digital documents, and the at least one of the respective set of input features, the respective set of model-specific features, the respective set of output features, and the set of predictions.
