“…In these applications, the strict requirements for energy consumption, memory usage, latency and data storage play a crucial role in the feasibility of embedding emerging technologies [9], [10]. In this regard, the research on speech recognition systems is considerably ahead of the one in ASC, as deep-learning models [8], [9], learning frameworks [11], and datasets [12] that make the embedding of these models possible have been already proposed years ago. By taking as reference the path followed by the speech recognition research, and considering current trends in embedded machine learning models, one could identify some topics that should be addressed in order to make small ASC systems viable.…”
