    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for signal processing are described. Generally, as provided for by the described techniques, a wearable device to receive an input audio signal from one or more outer microphones, an input audio signal from one or more inner microphones, and a bone conduction signal from a bone conduction sensor based on the input audio signals. The wearable device may filter the bone conduction signal based on a set of frequencies of the input audio signals, such as a low frequency portion of the input audio signals. For example, the wearable device may apply a filter to the bone conduction signal that accounts for an error in the input audio signals. The wearable device may add a gain to the filtered bone conduction signal and may equalize the filtered bone conduction signal based on the gain. The wearable device may output an audio signal to a speaker.

    Abstract: A device for multi-modal user input includes a processor configured to process first data received from a first input device. The first data indicates a first input from a user based on a first input mode. The first input corresponds to a command. The processor is configured to send a feedback message to an output device based on processing the first data. The feedback message instructs the user to provide, based on a second input mode that is different from the first input mode, a second input that identifies a command associated with the first input. The processor is configured to receive second data from a second input device, the second data indicating the second input, and to update a mapping to associate the first input to the command identified by the second input.

    Abstract: An apparatus includes a processor configured to receive one or more media signals associated with a scene. The processor is also configured to identify a spatial location in the scene for each source of the one or more media signals. The processor is further configured to identify audio content for each media signal of the one or more media signals. The processor is also configured to determine one or more candidate spatial locations in the scene based on the identified spatial locations. The processor is further configured to generate audio to playback as virtual sounds that originate from the one or more candidate spatial locations.

    Abstract: An apparatus includes multiple microphones to generate audio signals based on sound of a far-field acoustic environment. The apparatus also includes a signal processing system to process the audio signals to generate at least one processed audio signal. The signal processing system is configured to update one or more processing parameters while operating in a first operational mode and is configured to use a static version of the one or more processing parameters while operating in the second operational mode. The apparatus further includes a keyword detection system to perform keyword detection based on the at least one processed audio signal to determine whether the sound includes an utterance corresponding to a keyword and, based on a result of the keyword detection, to send a control signal to the signal processing system to change an operational mode of the signal processing system.
