Abstract
A device implementing a system for processing speech in an audio signal includes at least one processor configured to receive an audio signal corresponding to at least one microphone of a device, and to determine, using a first model, a first probability that a speech source is present in the audio signal. The at least one processor is further configured to determine, using a second model, a second probability that an estimated location of a source of the audio signal corresponds to an expected position of a user of the device, and to determine a likelihood that the audio signal corresponds to the user of the device based on the first and second probabilities.
