Abstract
A system configured to detect custom acoustic events, where the system generates an acoustic event profile for the custom acoustic event based on a natural language description and without a sample of the sound. The system may generate a profile for a new custom sound based on a natural language description provided by the user; for example, a 'microwave beep.' If the system does not have an existing event profile for a microwave beep, the system may ask the user questions to determine whether any existing event profiles are close (e.g., is the sound similar to a “fan,” “alarm,” “appliance beep,” etc.). The system may detect an event that may be a possible match for the custom sound and ask the user to verify whether the detected event corresponds to the custom sound. The system may update the event profile based on the user's response.
