Artificial intelligence-based wakeup word detection method and apparatus, device, and medium

This application discloses an artificial intelligence-based (AI-based) wakeup word detection method performed by a computing device. The method includes: constructing, by using a preset pronunciation dictionary, at least one syllable combination sequence for self-defined wakeup word text inputted by a user; obtaining to-be-recognized speech data, and extracting speech features of speech frames in the speech data; inputting the speech features into a pre-constructed deep neural network (DNN) model, to output posterior probability vectors of the speech features corresponding to syllable identifiers; determine a target probability vector from the posterior probability vectors according to the syllable combination sequence; and calculate a confidence according to the target probability vector, and determine that the speech frames include the wakeup word text when the confidence is greater than or equal to a threshold.
