Simplicity versus adaptability: Scientists propose AI method that integrates habitual and goal-directed behaviors

Both living creatures and AI-driven machines need to act quickly and adaptively in response to situations. In psychology and neuroscience, behavior can be categorized into two types—habitual (fast and simple but inflexible), and goal-directed (flexible but complex and slower).

Adaptive Knowledge Distillation for Device-Directed Speech Detection

Device-directed speech detection (DDSD) is a binary classification task that separates the user’s queries to a voice assistant (VA) from background speech or side conversations. This is important for achieving naturalistic user experience. To this end, we propose knowledge distillation (KD) to enhance DDSD accuracy while ensuring efficient deployment. Specifically,…

Multimodal Large Language Models with Fusion Low Rank Adaptation for Device Directed Speech Detection

Although Large Language Models (LLMs) have shown promise for human-like conversations, they are primarily pre-trained on text data. Incorporating audio or video improves performance, but collecting large-scale multimodal data and pre-training multimodal LLMs is challenging. To this end, we propose a Fusion Low Rank Adaptation (FLoRA) technique that efficiently adapts…

Less Is More: A Unified Architecture for Device-Directed Speech Detection with Multiple Invocation Types

Suppressing unintended invocation of the device because of the speech that sounds like wake-word, or accidental button presses, is critical for a good user experience, and is referred to as False-Trigger-Mitigation (FTM). In case of multiple invocation options, the traditional approach to FTM is to use invocation-specific models, or a…
