This paper introduces the system submitted by the DKU-SMIIP team for the Auto-KWS 2021 Challenge. Our implementation consists of a two-stage keyword spotting system based on query-by-example spoken term detection and a speaker verification system. We employ two different detection algorithms in our proposed keyword spotting system. The first stage adopts subsequence dynamic time warping for template matching based on frame-level language-independent bottleneck feature and phoneme posterior probability. We use a sliding window template matching algorithm based on acoustic word embeddings to further verify the detection from the first stage. As a result, our KWS system achieves an average score of 0.61 on the feedback dataset, which outperforms the baseline1 system by 0.25.
