Active speaker detection (ASD) and virtual cinematography (VC) can significantly improve the remote user experience of a video conference by automatically panning, tilting and zooming of a video conferencing camera: users subjectively rate…
In this paper we evaluate mobile active authentication based on an ensemble of biometrics and behavior-based profiling signals. We consider seven different data channels and their combination. Touch dynamics (touch gestures and…
Automatic Speaker Verification (ASV) system is a type of bio-metric authentication. It can be attacked by an intruder, who falsifies data in order to get access to protected information. Countermeasures (CM) are special algorithms that…
The radical advances in telecommunications and computer science have enabled a myriad of applications and novel seamless interaction with computing interfaces. Voice Assistants (VAs) have become a norm for smartphones, and millions of VAs…
Using our voices to access, and interact with, online services raises concerns about the trade-offs between convenience, privacy, and security. The conflict between maintaining privacy and ensuring input authenticity has often been hindered…
We present a cross-modal unsupervised framework for active speaker detection in media content such as TV shows and movies. Machine learning advances have enabled impressive performance in identifying individuals from speech and facial…
Voice Activity Detection (VAD) refers to the problem of distinguishing speech segments from background noise. Numerous approaches have been proposed for this purpose. Some are based on features derived from the power spectral density,…
As audio deepfakes transition from research artifacts to widely available commercial tools, robust biometric authentication faces pressing security threats in high-stakes industries. This paper presents a systematic empirical evaluation of…
In a biometric system, each biometric sample or template is typically associated with a single identity. However, recent research has demonstrated the possibility of generating "morph" biometric samples that can successfully match more than…
Human voices can be used to authenticate the identity of the speaker, but the automatic speaker verification (ASV) systems are vulnerable to voice spoofing attacks, such as impersonation, replay, text-to-speech, and voice conversion.…
An automatic speaker verification system aims to verify the speaker identity of a speech signal. However, a voice conversion system could manipulate a person's speech signal to make it sound like another speaker's voice and deceive the…
Speaker verification is the process by which a speakers claim of identity is tested against a claimed speaker by his or her voice. Speaker verification is done by the use of some parameters (features) from the speakers voice which can be…
Audiovisual active speaker detection (ASD) in egocentric recordings is challenged by frequent occlusions, motion blur, and audio interference, which undermine the discernability of temporal synchrony between lip movement and speech.…
We introduce a distinctive real-time, causal, neural network-based active speaker detection system optimized for low-power edge computing. This system drives a virtual cinematography module and is deployed on a commercial device. The system…
Visual voice activity detection (V-VAD) uses visual features to predict whether a person is speaking or not. V-VAD is useful whenever audio VAD (A-VAD) is inefficient either because the acoustic signal is difficult to analyze or because it…
Due to the open nature of voice input, voice assistant (VA) systems (e.g., Google Home and Amazon Alexa) are under a high risk of sensitive information leakage (e.g., personal schedules and shopping accounts). Though the existing VA systems…
Continuous authentication systems leveraging free-text keyboard dynamics offer a promising additional layer of security in a multifactor authentication setup that can be used in a transparent way with no impact on user experience. This…
