Ephemeral learning and/or federated learning of audio-based machine learning model(s) from stream(s) of audio data generated via radio station(s)

Abstract

Implementations disclosed herein are directed to utilizing ephemeral learning techniques and/or federated learning techniques to update audio-based machine learning (ML) model(s) based on processing streams of audio data generated via radio station(s) across the world. This enables the audio-based ML model(s) to learn representations and/or understand languages across the world, including tail languages for which there is no/minimal audio data. In various implementations, one or more deduping techniques may be utilized to ensure the same stream of audio data is not overutilized in updating the audio-based ML model(s). In various implementations, a given client device may determine whether to employ an ephemeral learning technique or a federated learning technique based on, for instance, a connection status with a remote system. Generally, the streams of audio data are received at client devices, but the ephemeral learning techniques may be implemented at the client device and/or at the remote system.
