Smart Speaker

Smart speakers are voice-controlled devices aiming to provide seamless human-computer interaction through natural language processing. Current research focuses on improving speech recognition accuracy in noisy environments, particularly using multi-microphone arrays and advanced algorithms like conformers and adaptive noise cancellation to enhance speech signals and filter out unwanted sounds. Furthermore, studies are addressing user experience challenges, including children's understanding of AI in these devices and developing methods to better predict and respect user privacy preferences, ultimately aiming to create more intuitive, secure, and user-friendly smart speaker technology.
