Claim 16:
17. A method implemented by one or more processors, the method comprising:
invoking an automated assistant client at a client device, wherein invoking the automated assistant client is in response to detecting one or more invocation queries in received user interface input;
in response to invoking the automated assistant client:
performing certain processing of initial spoken input received via one or more microphones of the client device;
generating a responsive action based on the certain processing of the initial spoken input;
causing performance of the responsive action;
determining that a continued listening mode is activated for the automated assistant client device;
in response to the continued listening mode being activated:
automatically monitoring for additional spoken input after causing performance of at least part of the responsive action;
receiving audio data during the automatically monitoring;
determining whether the audio data includes any additional spoken input that is from a same human speaker that provided the initial spoken input, wherein determining whether the audio data includes the additional spoken input that is from the same human speaker comprises:
identifying a speaker embedding for the human speaker that provided the spoken input, wherein the speaker embedding was generated based on one or more respective instance of speaker audio data corresponding to the human speaker;
generating a refined version of the audio data, based on the speaker embedding and the spoken input, that isolates any of the audio data that is from the human speaker; and
determining whether the audio data includes the any additional spoken input that is from the same human based on whether any portions of the refined version of the audio data correspond to at least a threshold level of audio.
