Sensitive keyword spotting for voice alarm systems

Abstract

Keyword spotting is the task of identifying the occurrences of certain desired keywords in an arbitrary speech signal. Keyword spotting has many applications. One of them is emergency voice alarm systems, like command control and smart monitoring ATM etc. This paper presents a sensitive keyword spotting system applied to voice alarm occasions. By sensitive keyword retrieval, emergency warning systems can automatically monitor and follow up the situation, find the crisis occurs, and then give the alarm. Automatically retrieving and tracking for the particular occasion can not only save a lot of manpower and material resources, but is also more efficient. So the study of this subject has great reality and application value.
