Robust start-end point detection algorithm using neural network

Abstract:

An end detector configured to receive the feature data and detect an end point of a keyword, and a start detector configured to receive an indication of the detected end point and process the feature data associated with corresponding input frames to detect a start point of the keyword. The start detector and end detector comprise neural networks trained through a process using a cross-entropy cost function for non-Region of Target (ROT) frames and a One-Spike Connectionist Temporal Classification cost function for ROT frames.
