Multiple-Instance, Cascaded Classification for Keyword Spotting in Narrow-Band Audio
Ahmad AbdulKader, Kareem Nassar, Mohamed El-Geish +2
We propose using cascaded classifiers for a keyword spotting (KWS) task on narrow-band (NB), 8kHz audio acquired in non-IID environments -- a more challenging task than most state-…
