thalovant/zeligui-wakeword (superseded)

The wake word "Zéligui", said zé-li-gui /ze.li.ɡi/. It was replaced by Zoguilo and is kept for comparison. Don't use it where French is spoken.

It is a 0.9 MB wakeforge ONNX head on the streamed features of TigreGotico/wakehubert-tiny (int8), for OVOS through ovos-ww-plugin-wakeforge:

"hotwords": {"zeligui": {"module": "ovos-ww-plugin-wakeforge", "listen": true,
  "model": "https://huggingface.co/thalovant/zeligui-wakeword/resolve/main/zeligui.onnx"}}

Why it was dropped: the French "je lui dis" sounds almost exactly like the word, and no amount of training fixed that. Spoken by TTS, it came close to 186 of 1,768 common short phrases in 7 languages; Zoguilo came close to 62.

Held out, at its default threshold 0.438 (set on development speech for 0.5 false wakes/h). False wakes are on 70.4 h of unseen speakers; recall counts only clips that a phoneme model confirms say the word:

	false wakes/h (all / French)	held-out TTS voices, after silence / after speech	OmniVoice speakers	voice-converted real speakers	near misses accepted
Zéligui	0.77 / 1.69	94 % / 89 %	92 % / 85 %	86 % / 79 %	1.9 % of 375
Zoguilo	0.64 / 0.80	93 % / 93 %	96 % / 96 %	97 % / 95 %	0 of 284

Training data and method are the same as Zoguilo's. Raw reports: eval.json, plugin_validation.json.
