Abstract
Various implementations disclosed herein include a training module configured to determining a set of detection normalization threshold values associated with speaker dependent voiced sound pattern (VSP) detection. In some implementations, a method includes obtaining segment templates characterizing a concurrent segmentation of a first subset of a plurality of vocalization instances of a VSP, each segment template provides a stochastic characterization of how a particular portion of the VSP is vocalized by a particular speaker; generating a noisy segment matrix using a second subset of the plurality of vocalization instances of the VSP, wherein the noisy segment matrix includes one or more noisy copies of segment representations of the second subset; scoring segments from the noisy segment matrix against the segment templates; and determining detection normalization threshold values at two or more known SNR levels for at least one particular noise type based on a function of the scoring.
