Abstract
A system comprising a head-wearable apparatus, which includes a plurality of microphones, each microphone of the plurality of microphones being spatially separated from each other microphone of the plurality of microphones, thereby defining a set of spatial separations. The system also includes one or more processors. The system also includes a non-transitory computer readable storage medium including instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to perform operations including generating, by each microphone of the plurality of microphones, an audio signal corresponding to sound detected by the microphone, thereby generating a plurality of audio signals, and processing the plurality of audio signals, using a trained machine learning model, to generate wearer speech detection data representative of a likelihood that a wearer of the head-wearable apparatus is speaking.
