Abstract

A neural network model of a user device is trained to map different words represented in audio data to different points in an N-dimensional embedding space. When the user device determines that a mapped point corresponds to a wakeword, it causes further audio processing, such as automatic speech recognition or natural-language understanding, to be performed on the audio data. The user device may first create the wakeword by first processing audio data representing the wakeword to determine the mapped point in the embedding space.
