The DKU Post-Challenge Audio-Visual Wake Word Spotting System for the 2021 MISP Challenge: Deep Analysis
share
This paper further explores our previous wake word spotting system ranked 2-nd in Track 1 of the MISP Challenge 2021. First, we investigate a robust unimodal approach based on 3D and 2D convolution and adopt the simple attention module (SimAM) for our system to improve performance. Second, we explore different combinations of data augmentation methods for better performance. Finally, we study the fusion strategies, including score-level, cascaded and neural fusion. Our proposed multimodal system leverages multimodal features and uses the complementary visual information to mitigate the performance degradation of audio-only systems in complex acoustic scenarios. Our system obtains a false reject rate of 2.15 evaluation set of the competition database, which achieves the new state-of-the-art performance by 21 systems.
