    摘要: A method includes receiving text input data for conversion into synthesized speech and determining, using a hotword-aware model trained to detect a presence of a hotword assigned to a user device, whether a pronunciation of the text input data includes the hotword. The hotword is configured to initiate a wake-up process on the user device for processing the hotword and/or one or more other terms following the hotword in the audio input data. When the pronunciation of the text input data includes the hotword, the method also includes generating an audio output signal from the text input data and providing the audio output signal to an audio output device to output the audio output signal. The audio output signal when captured by an audio capture device of the user device, configured to prevent initiation of the wake-up process on the user device.

    摘要: A method for adapting hotword recognition includes receiving audio data characterizing a hotword event detected by a first stage hotword detector in streaming audio captured by a user device. The method also includes processing, using a second stage hotword detector, the audio data to determine whether a hotword is detected by the second stage hotword detector in a first segment of the audio data. When the hotword is not detected by the second stage hotword detector, the method includes, classifying the first segment of the audio data as containing a negative hotword that caused a false detection of the hotword event in the streaming audio by the first stage hotword detector. Based on the first segment of the audio data classified as containing the negative hotword, the method includes updating the first stage hotword detector to prevent triggering the hotword event in subsequent audio data that contains the negative hotword.

    摘要: The present disclosure is directed to a system and method for providing dynamic grouping and regrouping for users in a joint positional tracking session. The method includes receiving positional data associated with a first user and at least one other user in the plurality of users in the joint positional tracking session. The method includes determining that a separation parameter associated with the first user has exceeded a threshold separation value, the separation parameter associated with the first user representing a distance between the first user and one other user in the plurality of users. The method includes automatically generating navigational data for reducing the separation parameter between the first user and one other user in the joint positional tracking session to below the threshold separation value. The method includes transmitting the navigational data to at least the first user in the joint positional tracking session.

    摘要: A computing system receives requests from client devices to process voice queries that have been detected in local environments of the client devices. The system identifies that a value that is based on a number of requests to process voice queries received by the system during a specified time interval satisfies one or more criteria. In response, the system triggers analysis of at least some of the requests received during the specified time interval to trigger analysis of at least some received requests to determine a set of requests that each identify a common voice query. The system can generate an electronic fingerprint that indicates a distinctive model of the common voice query. The fingerprint can then be used to detect an illegitimate voice query identified in a request from a client device at a later time.

    摘要: A method for detecting freeze words includes receiving audio data that corresponds to an utterance spoken by a user and captured by a user device associated with the user. The method also includes processing, using a speech recognizer, the audio data to determine that the utterance includes a query for a digital assistant to perform an operation. The speech recognizer is configured to trigger endpointing of the utterance after a predetermined duration of non-speech in the audio data. Before the predetermined duration of non-speech, the method includes detecting a freeze word in the audio data. In response to detecting the freeze word in the audio data, the method also includes triggering a hard microphone closing event at the user device. The hard microphone closing event prevents the user device from capturing any audio subsequent to the freeze word.

    摘要: A method includes receiving an automated speech recognition (ASR) request from a user device that includes a speech input captured by the user device and content metadata associated with the speech input. The content metadata is generated by the user device. The method also includes determining a priority score for the ASR request based on the content metadata associated with the speech input and caching the ASR request in a pre-processing backlog of pending ASR requests each having a corresponding priority score. The pending ASR requests in the pre-processing backlog are ranked in order of the priority scores. The method also includes providing, from the pre-processing backlog, one or more of the pending ASR requests to a backend-side ASR module, wherein pending ASR requests associated with higher priority scores are processed before pending ASR requests associated with lower priority scores.
