• Abstract summary: We introduce DeepSpectrumLite, an open-source, lightweight transfer learning framework for on-device speech and audio recognition. The framework creates and augments Mel-spectrogram plots on-the-fly from raw audio signals which are then used to finetune specific pre-trained CNNs. The whole pipeline can be run in real-time with a mean inference lag of 242.0 ms when a DenseNet121 model is used on a consumer-grade Motorola moto e7 plus smartphone.

• Abstract: Deep neural speech and audio processing systems have a large number of trainable parameters, a relatively complex architecture, and require a vast amount of training data and computational power. These constraints make it more challenging to integrate such systems into embedded devices and utilise them for real-time, real-world applications. We tackle these limitations by introducing DeepSpectrumLite, an open-source, lightweight transfer learning framework for on-device speech and audio recognition using pre-trained image convolutional neural networks (CNNs). The framework creates and augments Mel-spectrogram plots on-the-fly from raw audio signals which are then used to finetune specific pre-trained CNNs for the target classification task. Subsequently, the whole pipeline can be run in real-time with a mean inference lag of 242.0 ms when a DenseNet121 model is used on a consumer-grade Motorola moto e7 plus smartphone. DeepSpectrumLite operates decentralised, eliminating the need for data upload for further processing. By obtaining state-of-the-art results on a set of paralinguistics tasks, we demonstrate the suitability of the proposed transfer learning approach for embedded audio signal processing, even when data is scarce. We provide an extensive command-line interface for users and developers which is comprehensively documented and publicly available at https://github.com/DeepSpectrum/DeepSpectrumLite.

  We explore the possibility of making interactions with virtual assistants more natural by eliminating the need for a trigger phrase. Our goal is to determine whether a user addressed the virtual assistant based on signals obtained from the streaming audio recorded by the device microphone. We address this task by combining 1-best hypotheses and decoder signals from an automatic speech recognition system with acoustic representations from an audio encoder.

  We propose a lightweight on-device deep learning-based model for audio classification, LEAN.

We show that using a combination of trainable wave encoder, Pretrained YAMNet along with cross attention-based temporal realignment, results in competitive performance on downstream audio classification tasks with lesser memory footprints.
