Federated Learning for Keyword Spotting

Abstract: We propose a practical approach based on federated learning to solve out-of-domain issues with continuously running embedded speech-based models such as wake word detectors. We conduct an extensive empirical study of the federated averaging algorithm for the "Hey Snips" wake word based on a crowdsourced dataset that mimics a federation of wake word users. We empirically demonstrate that using an adaptive averaging strategy inspired from Adam in place of standard weighted model averaging highly reduces the numb… Show more

“…Further, we show that applying smoothing before max pooling is highly important for achieving accuracy better than the baseline. The proposed approach provides further benefits of reducing dependence on LVCSR to provide phoneme level alignments, which is desirable for embedded learning scenarios, like on-device learning [20] [21].…”
