Abstract:
Characteristics of a speaker are estimated using speech processing and machine learning. The characteristics of the speaker are used to automatically customize a user interface of a client device for the speaker.
Abstract:
The technology described in this document can be embodied in a computer-implemented method that includes receiving, at a processing system, a first signal including an output of a speaker device and an additional audio signal. The method also includes determining, by the processing system, based at least in part on a model trained to identify the output of the speaker device, that the additional audio signal corresponds to an utterance of a user. The method further includes initiating a reduction in an audio output level of the speaker device based on determining that the additional audio signal corresponds to the utterance of the user.
Abstract:
Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on a computer storage medium, for caching speech recognition scores. In some implementations, one or more values comprising data about an utterance are received. An index value is determined for the one or more values. An acoustic model score for the one or more received values is selected, from a cache of acoustic model scores that were computed before receiving the one or more values, based on the index value. A transcription for the utterance is determined using the selected acoustic model score.

Abstract:
Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on a computer storage medium, for inputting speech data that corresponds to a particular utterance to a neural network; determining an evaluation vector based on output at a hidden layer of the neural network; comparing the evaluation vector with a reference vector that corresponds to a past utterance of a particular speaker; and based on comparing the evaluation vector and the reference vector, determining whether the particular utterance was likely spoken by the particular speaker.
Abstract:
Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on a computer storage medium, for language identification. In some implementations, speech data for an utterance is received and provided to (i) a language identification module and (ii) multiple speech recognizers that are each configured to recognize speech in a different language. From the language identification module, language identification scores corresponding to different languages are received, the language identification scores each indicating a likelihood that the utterance is speech in the corresponding language. A language model confidence score that indicates a level of confidence that a language model has in a transcription of the utterance in a language corresponding to the language model is received. A language is selected based on the language identification scores and the language model confidence scores.

Abstract:
Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on a computer storage medium, for speech recognition using neural networks. A feature vector that models audio characteristics of a portion of an utterance is received. Data indicative of latent variables of multivariate factor analysis is received. The feature vector and the data indicative of the latent variables is provided as input to a neural network. A candidate transcription for the utterance is determined based on at least an output of the neural network.
