Statistical methods protecting sensitive information or the identity of the data owner have become critical to ensure privacy of individuals as well as of organizations. This paper investigates anonymization methods based on representation…
Recordings in everyday life require privacy preservation of the speech content and speaker identity. This contribution explores the influence of noise and reverberation on the trade-off between privacy and utility for low-cost…
Faced with the threat of identity leakage during voice data publishing, users are engaged in a privacy-utility dilemma when enjoying convenient voice services. Existing studies employ direct modification or text-based re-synthesis to…
Speaker anonymization is an effective privacy protection solution that conceals the speaker's identity while preserving the linguistic content and paralinguistic information of the original speech. To establish a fair benchmark and…
Speech anonymization and de-identification have garnered significant attention recently, especially in the healthcare area including telehealth consultations, patient voiceprint matching, and patient real-time monitoring. Speaker identity…
The increasing capabilities of deep neural networks for re-identification, combined with the rise in public surveillance in recent years, pose a substantial threat to individual privacy. Event cameras were initially considered as a…
There are currently two approaches to anonymization: "utility first" (use an anonymization method with suitable utility features, then empirically evaluate the disclosure risk and, if necessary, reduce the risk by possibly sacrificing some…
Speech pseudonymization aims at altering a speech signal to map the identifiable personal characteristics of a given speaker to another identity. In other words, it aims to hide the source speaker identity while preserving the…
In speech processing pipelines, improving the quality and intelligibility of real-world recordings is crucial. While supervised regression is the primary method for speech enhancement, audio tokenization is emerging as a promising…
The objective of this paper is to learn representations of speaker identity without access to manually annotated data. To do so, we develop a self-supervised learning objective that exploits the natural cross-modal synchrony between faces…
Recognition systems are commonly designed to authenticate users at the access control levels of a system. A number of voice recognition methods have been developed using a pitch estimation process which are very vulnerable in low Signal to…
Information on speaker characteristics can be useful as side information in improving speaker recognition accuracy. However, such information is often private. This paper investigates how privacy-preserving learning can improve a speaker…
In the era of big data, remarkable advancements have been achieved in personalized speech generation techniques that utilize speaker attributes, including voice and speaking style, to generate deepfake speech. This has also amplified global…
This study focuses on the First VoicePrivacy Attacker Challenge within the ICASSP 2025 Signal Processing Grand Challenge, which aims to develop speaker verification systems capable of determining whether two anonymized speech signals are…
The collection and use of personal data are becoming more common in today's data-driven culture. While there are many advantages to this, including better decision-making and service delivery, it also poses significant ethical issues around…
In this work, we describe our submissions for the Voice Privacy Challenge 2024. Rather than proposing a novel speech anonymization system, we enhance the provided baselines to meet all required conditions and improve evaluated metrics.…
In the contemporary data landscape characterized by multi-source data collection and third-party sharing, ensuring individual privacy stands as a critical concern. While various anonymization methods exist, their utility preservation and…
The goal of homomorphic encryption is to encrypt data such that another party can operate on it without being explicitly exposed to the content of the original data. We introduce an idea for a privacy-preserving transformation on natural…
Users posting online expect to remain anonymous unless they have logged in, which is often needed for them to be able to discuss freely on various topics. Preserving the anonymity of a text's writer can be also important in some other…
Automatic speech recognition systems have created exciting possibilities for applications, however they also enable opportunities for systematic eavesdropping. We propose a method to camouflage a person's voice over-the-air from these…
