One new solution\/exploit that we are now considering is building an NLP system that can react to \u201chey Siri\u201d, \u201cOK Google\u201d, and other wake-words as fast as possible. To verify the feasibility of a system like this, <a href=\"https:\/\/github.com\/eyluo\/18500-f19-b2\">I wrote baseline code<\/a> using Pyaudio to listen for noise and play music as soon as possible. I\u2019ve linked it to a GitHub repo, and you can clone the file to try with any .WAV file (unfortunately, the one I\u2019ve been testing with a copyrighted song, and I don\u2019t want to get arrested for this project).<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Next week, I hope to continue identifying jamming signals using a more methodical, experimental approach to better quantify the success rate of certain signals are based off of loudness, distance from the person, speaker, and other metrics. I also want to use Apple\u2019s machine learning paper as a foundation for our NLP system to identify wake-words. Finally, I hope to meet with our advisors and professors to better hone the project details, feasibility, and specification.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This week, we decided to work on black box systems in an experimental phase.
