Emotional state recognition through speech is being a very interesting research topic nowadays. Using subliminal information of speech, denominated as prosody, it is possible to recognize the emotional state of the person. One of the main…
In this work, we study the hypothesis that speaker identity embeddings extracted from speech samples may be used for detection and classification of emotion. In particular, we show that emotions can be effectively identified by learning…
Thanks to recent advances in deep learning, sophisticated generation tools exist, nowadays, that produce extremely realistic synthetic speech. However, malicious uses of such tools are possible and likely, posing a serious threat to our…
Speech pre-processing techniques such as denoising, de-reverberation, and separation, are commonly employed as front-ends for various downstream speech processing tasks. However, these methods can sometimes be inadequate, resulting in…
Nowadays, as more and more systems achieve good performance in traditional voice conversion (VC) tasks, people's attention gradually turns to VC tasks under extreme conditions. In this paper, we propose a novel method for zero-shot voice…
This study compares the performances of different algorithms for coding speech at low bit rates. In addition to widely deployed traditional vocoders, a selection of recently developed generative-model-based coders at different bit rates are…
This paper evaluates the impact of training undergraduate students to improve their audio deepfake discernment ability by listening for expert-defined linguistic features. Such features have been shown to improve performance of AI…
Speaker anonymization is the task of modifying a speech recording such that the original speaker cannot be identified anymore. Since the first Voice Privacy Challenge in 2020, along with the release of a framework, the popularity of this…
Due to improvements in artificial intelligence, speaker identification (SI) technologies have brought a great direction and are now widely used in a variety of sectors. One of the most important components of SI is feature extraction, which…
This paper addresses the problem of pitch modification, as an important module for an efficient voice transformation system. The Deterministic plus Stochastic Model of the residual signal we proposed in a previous work is compared to…
The temporal dynamics of speech, encompassing variations in rhythm, intonation, and speaking rate, contain important and unique information about speaker identity. This paper proposes a new method for representing speaker characteristics by…
Voice anonymization has been developed as a technique for preserving privacy by replacing the speaker's voice in a speech signal with that of a pseudo-speaker, thereby obscuring the original voice attributes from machine recognition and…
Voice assistants overhear conversations and a consent management mechanism is required. Consent management can be implemented using speaker recognition. Users that do not give consent enrol their voice and all their further recordings are…
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…
We propose an algorithm to denoise speakers from a single microphone in the presence of non-stationary and dynamic noise. Our approach is inspired by the recent success of neural network models separating speakers from other speakers and…
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 aim of the study is to investigate the complex mechanisms of speech perception and ultimately decode the electrical changes in the brain accruing while listening to speech. We attempt to decode heard speech from intracranial…
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…
Many applications of speech communication and speaker identification suffer from the problem of co-channel speech. This paper deals with a multi-resolution dyadic wavelet transform method for usable segments of co-channel speech detection…
This paper investigates the differences occuring in the excitation for different voice qualities. Its goal is two-fold. First a large corpus containing three voice qualities (modal, soft and loud) uttered by the same speaker is analyzed and…
