US Patent 11580978 Machine learning for interpretation of subvocalizations

Provided is an in-ear device and associated computational support system that leverages machine learning to interpret sensor data descriptive of one or more in-ear phenomena during subvocalization by the user. An electronic device can receive sensor data generated by at least one sensor at least partially positioned within an ear of a user, wherein the sensor data was generated by the at least one sensor concurrently with the user subvocalizing a subvocalized utterance. The electronic device can then process the sensor data with a machine-learned subvocalization interpretation model to generate an interpretation of the subvocalized utterance as an output of the machine-learned subvocalization interpretation model.
