Complementary Language Model and Parallel Bi-LRNN for False Trigger Mitigation

False triggers in voice assistants are unintended invocations of the\nassistant, which not only degrade the user experience but may also compromise\nprivacy. False trigger mitigation (FTM) is a process to detect the false\ntrigger events and respond appropriately to the user. In this paper, we propose\na novel solution to the FTM problem by introducing a parallel ASR decoding\nprocess with a special language model trained from "out-of-domain" data\nsources. Such language model is complementary to the existing language model\noptimized for the assistant task. A bidirectional lattice RNN (Bi-LRNN)\nclassifier trained from the lattices generated by the complementary language\nmodel shows a $38.34\\%$ relative reduction of the false trigger (FT) rate at\nthe fixed rate of $0.4\\%$ false suppression (FS) of correct invocations,\ncompared to the current Bi-LRNN model. In addition, we propose to train a\nparallel Bi-LRNN model based on the decoding lattices from both language\nmodels, and examine various ways of implementation. The resulting model leads\nto further reduction in the false trigger rate by $10.8\\%$.\n
