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, we introduce a novel adaptive …

Ambisonics Super-Resolution Using A Waveform-Domain Neural Network
Ambisonics is a spatial audio format describing a sound field. First-order Ambisonics (FOA) is a popular format comprising only four channels. This limited channel count comes at the expense of spatial accuracy. Ideally one would be able to take the efficiency of a FOA format without its limitations. We have devised a data-driven spatial audio …
