Advances in Small-Footprint Keyword Spotting: A Comprehensive Review of Efficient Models and AlgorithmsSmall-Footprint Keyword Spotting (SF-KWS) has gained popularity in today's landscape of smart voice-activated devices, smartphones, and Internet of Things (IoT) applications. This surge is attributed to the advancements in Deep Learning, enabling the identification of predefined words or keywords from a continuous stream of words. To implement the SF-KWS model on edge devices with low power and limited memory in real-world scenarios, a efficient Tiny Machine Learning (TinyML) framework is essen…
