This session is part of our AI Day Virtual Conference. Registration/event page here.

In this keynote address, Frank Maker, Director of Software Engineering for Roku, will offer a comprehensive examination of wake word technology implementation at the Edge. He will discuss how Edge wake words are made viable for real-time detection through a cascaded architecture that integrates an Edge wake word with a bigger cloud variant. Frank will delve into the intricacies of the current design and the challenges associated with wake word implementation on contemporary devices.

Frank will also share insights into the future of EdgeML for applications such as wake word detection, particularly as costs decrease and Edge ML processing becomes increasingly accessible. The address will illuminate the near and long-term future of EdgeML, highlighting the exciting possibilities as technology continues to evolve.

Time permitting, Frank will engage in a Q&A session with the audience, fostering a dynamic discussion around this compelling topic.
