Abstract

See full text

Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on a computer storage medium, for multi-stage hotword detection are disclosed. In one aspect, a method includes the actions of receiving, by a second stage hotword detector of a multi-stage hotword detection system that includes at least a first stage hotword detector and the second stage hotword detector, audio data that corresponds to an initial portion of an utterance. The actions further include determining a likelihood that the initial portion of the utterance includes a hotword. The actions further include determining that the likelihood that the initial portion of the utterance includes the hotword satisfies a threshold. The actions further include, in response to determining that the likelihood satisfies the threshold, transmitting a request for the first stage hotword detector to cease providing additional audio data that corresponds to one or more subsequent portions of the utterance.
