We propose smoothed max pooling loss and its application to keyword spotting systems. The proposed approach jointly trains an encoder (to detect keyword parts) and a decoder (to detect whole keyword) in a semi-supervised manner. The proposed new loss function allows training a model to detect parts and whole of a keyword, without strictly depending on frame-level labeling from LVCSR (Large vocabulary continuous speech recognition), making further optimization possible. The proposed system outperforms the baseline keyword spotting model in [1] due to increased optimizability. Further, it can be more easily adapted for on-device learning applications due to reduced dependency on LVCSR.
