Short Answer

What two events do the wake word detector's false positive and false negative rates measure?

Question: Answer in one to three sentences, distinguishing a false positive from a false negative in this wake word system.

Sample answer: A false positive occurs when the system wakes up even though no one said the wake word. A false negative occurs when someone says the wake word but the system fails to wake up.

Key points:

  • False positive: wakes without a spoken wake word.
  • False negative: fails to wake after a spoken wake word.

Rubric: The answer must correctly associate an unwanted wake-up with a false positive and a missed spoken wake word with a false negative.
