Substantial improvements have been achieved in recent years in voice conversion, which converts the speaker characteristics of an utterance into those of another speaker without changing the linguistic content of the utterance. Nonetheless,…
Existing privacy-preserving speech representation learning methods target a single application domain. In this paper, we present a novel framework to anonymize utterance-level speech embeddings generated by pre-trained encoders and show its…
Recent studies have demonstrated the vulnerability of Automatic Speech Recognition systems to adversarial examples, which can deceive these systems into misinterpreting input speech commands. While previous research has primarily focused on…
The rising trend of using voice as a means of interacting with smart devices has sparked worries over the protection of users' privacy and data security. These concerns have become more pressing, especially after the European Union's…
Voice conversion for speaker anonymization is an emerging field in speech processing research. Many state-of-the-art approaches are based on the resynthesis of the phoneme posteriorgrams (PPG), the fundamental frequency (F0) of the input…
In this work, we address the problem of text anonymization where the goal is to prevent adversaries from correctly inferring private attributes of the author, while keeping the text utility, i.e., meaning and semantics. We propose…
Speaker verification has been widely and successfully adopted in many mission-critical areas for user identification. The training of speaker verification requires a large amount of data, therefore users usually need to adopt third-party…
Security of automatic speaker verification (ASV) systems is compromised by various spoofing attacks. While many types of non-proactive attacks (and their defenses) have been studied in the past, attacker's perspective on ASV, represents a…
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…
Speaker verification has been widely used in many authentication scenarios. However, training models for speaker verification requires large amounts of data and computing power, so users often use untrustworthy third-party data or deploy…
Anonymity is a powerful component of many participatory media platforms that can afford people greater freedom of expression and protection from external coercion and interference. However, it can be difficult to effectively implement on…
The accuracy of automated speaker recognition is negatively impacted by change in emotions in a person's speech. In this paper, we hypothesize that speaker identity is composed of various vocal style factors that may be learned from…
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…
In this paper, we investigate the impact of speech temporal dynamics in application to automatic speaker verification and speaker voice anonymization tasks. We propose several metrics to perform automatic speaker verification based only on…
Collecting speech data is an important step in training speech recognition systems and other speech-based machine learning models. However, the issue of privacy protection is an increasing concern that must be addressed. The current study…
Given the increasing privacy concerns from identity theft and the re-identification of speakers through content in the speech field, this paper proposes a prompt-based speech generation pipeline that ensures dual anonymization of both…
Human speech conveys prosody, linguistic content, and speaker identity. This article investigates a novel speaker anonymization approach using an end-to-end network based on a Vector-Quantized Variational Auto-Encoder (VQ-VAE) to deal with…
Given the speech generation framework that represents the speaker attribute with an embedding vector, asynchronous voice anonymization can be achieved by modifying the speaker embedding derived from the original speech. However, the…
The First VoicePrivacy Attacker Challenge is an ICASSP 2025 SP Grand Challenge which focuses on evaluating attacker systems against a set of voice anonymization systems submitted to the VoicePrivacy 2024 Challenge. Training, development,…
