A KWS System for Edge-Computing Applications with Analog-Based Feature Extraction and Learned Step Size Quantized Classifier by Yukai Shen, Binyi Wu, Dietmar Straeussnigg, Eric Gutierrez

“…Furthermore, the robustness of the AFE against noise and analog impairments is evaluated by injecting Gaussian noise and perturbing the filter parameters (center frequency and quality factor) in the test data, respectively. The obtained results confirm a strong classification performance even under degraded circuit-level conditions, supporting the suitability of the proposed system for ultra-low-power, noise-resilient edge applications.…”
