| Participation considerations from adversely impacted groups [protected classes](https://www.senate.ca.gov/content/protected-classes) in model design and testing: | None | |
| Measures taken to mitigate against unwanted bias: | To reduce false positive errors — cases where the model incorrectly detects speech when none is present — the model was trained with white noise and real-word noise perturbations. During training, the volume of audios was also varied. Additionally, the training data includes non-speech audio samples to help the model distinguish between speech and non-speech sounds (such as coughing, laughter, and breathing, etc.) | |
| Bias Metric (If Measured): | False Positive Rate | |
