More Information
Summary:Techniques are described herein for improving performance of machine learning model(s) and thresholds utilized in determining whether automated assistant function(s) are to be initiated. A method includes: receiving, via one or more microphones of a client device, audio data that captures a spoken utterance of a user; processing the audio data using a machine learning model to generate a predicted output that indicates a probability of one or more hotwords being present in the audio data; determining that the predicted output satisfies a secondary threshold that is less indicative of the one or more hotwords being present in the audio data than is a primary threshold; in response to determining that the predicted output satisfies the secondary threshold, prompting the user to indicate whether or not the spoken utterance includes a hotword; receiving, from the user, a response to the prompting; and adjusting the primary threshold based on the response.
