"OK Aura, Be Fair With Me": Demographics-Agnostic Training for Bias Mitigation in Wake-up Word Detection

1. 1Utilize demographics-agnostic training techniques to reduce bias in wake-up word detection models
2. 2Employ databases like OK Aura that include diverse speaker populations to train and evaluate models
3. 3Evaluate model performance across different demographics, such as sex, age, and accent, to identify and mitigate disparities
4. 4Apply techniques like data augmentation and regularization to further improve fairness and reduce bias

Machine learning engineers and researchers working on voice-based interfaces can benefit from this study to improve fairness and reduce bias in their models, while data scientists can apply these techniques to other areas with similar demographic disparities

💡 Demographics-agnostic training can reduce performance disparities among speakers of varying demographics
