Abstract
A system capable of detecting human presence based on output from a model-free detector and model-based detector(s). For example, the model-free detector may identify acoustic events and the model-based detectors can determine specific types of acoustic events and whether the acoustic events are associated with human activity. Using output from the model-based detectors, a device may confirm that an acoustic event identified by the model-free detector is associated with human activity or may determine that the acoustic event is associated with non-human activity and can be ignored. Thus, the device may detect human presence based on a wide variety of noises while reducing a number of false positives associated with the model-free detector.
