Abstract
A vehicle system for classifying spoken utterance within a vehicle cabin as one of system-directed and non-system directed, the system may include at least one microphone configured to detect at least one acoustic utterance from at least one occupant of a vehicle, at least one sensor to detect user behavior data indicative of user behavior, and a processor programmed to: receive the acoustic utterance, classify the acoustic utterance as one of a system-directed utterance and a non-system directed utterance, determine whether the acoustic utterance was properly classified based on user behavior observed via data received from the sensor after the classification, and apply a mitigating adjustment to classifications of subsequent acoustic utterances based on an improper classification.
