  • In this paper, we propose MM-KWS, a novel approach to user-defined keyword spotting leveraging multi-modal enrollments of text and speech templates. Unlike previous methods that focus solely on either text or speech features, MM-KWS extracts phoneme, text, and speech embeddings from both modalities. These embeddings are then compared with the query speech embedding to detect the target keywords. To ensure the applicability of MM-KWS across diverse languages, we utilize a feature extractor incorporating several multilingual pre-trained models. Subsequently, we validate its effectiveness on Mandarin and English tasks. In addition, we have integrated advanced data augmentation tools for hard case mining to enhance MM-KWS in distinguishing confusable words. Experimental results on the LibriPhrase and WenetPhrase datasets demonstrate that MM-KWS outperforms prior methods significantly.
