In this paper, we present AltVoice -- a system designed to help user's protect their privacy when using remotely accessed voice services. The system allows a user to conceal their true voice identity information with no cooperation from the…

Speaker anonymization seeks to conceal a speaker's identity while preserving the utility of their speech. The achieved privacy is commonly evaluated with a speaker recognition model trained on anonymized speech. Although this represents a…

This paper summarises the findings from the VoxCeleb Speaker Recognition Challenge 2022 (VoxSRC-22), which was held in conjunction with INTERSPEECH 2022. The goal of this challenge was to evaluate how well state-of-the-art speaker…

We present the Zero Resource Speech Challenge 2020, which aims at learning speech representations from raw audio signals without any labels. It combines the data sets and metrics from two previous benchmarks (2017 and 2019) and features two…

Privacy in speech and audio has many facets. A particularly under-developed area of privacy in this domain involves consideration for information related to content and context. Speech content can include words and their meaning or even…

Voice assistive technologies have given rise to far-reaching privacy and security concerns. In this paper we investigate whether modular automatic speech recognition (ASR) can improve privacy in voice assistive systems by combining…

The "VOiCES from a Distance Challenge 2019" is designed to foster research in the area of speaker recognition and automatic speech recognition (ASR) with the special focus on single channel distant/far-field audio, under noisy conditions.…

The development of privacy-preserving automatic speaker verification systems has been the focus of a number of studies with the intent of allowing users to authenticate themselves without risking the privacy of their voice. However, current…

Speaker anonymization systems continue to improve their ability to obfuscate the original speaker characteristics in a speech signal, but often create processing artifacts and unnatural sounding voices as a tradeoff. Many of those systems…

Voice-enabled interactions provide more human-like experiences in many popular IoT systems. Cloud-based speech analysis services extract useful information from voice input using speech recognition techniques. The voice signal is a rich…

The vast majority of approaches to speaker anonymization involve the extraction of fundamental frequency estimates, linguistic features and a speaker embedding which is perturbed to obfuscate the speaker identity before an anonymized speech…

This document describes the Short-duration Speaker Verification (SdSV) Challenge 2021. The main goal of the challenge is to evaluate new technologies for text-dependent (TD) and text-independent (TI) speaker verification (SV) in a short…

The ICASSP 2023 Acoustic Echo Cancellation Challenge is intended to stimulate research in acoustic echo cancellation (AEC), which is an important area of speech enhancement and is still a top issue in audio communication. This is the fourth…

Research in the past several years has boosted the performance of automatic speaker verification systems and countermeasure systems to deliver low Equal Error Rates (EERs) on each system. However, research on joint optimization of both…

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…

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.…

Voice data generated on instant messaging or social media applications contains unique user voiceprints that may be abused by malicious adversaries for identity inference or identity theft. Existing voice anonymization techniques, e.g.,…

The 2020 Personalized Voice Trigger Challenge (PVTC2020) addresses two different research problems a unified setup: joint wake-up word detection with speaker verification on close-talking single microphone data and far-field multi-channel…

This document outlines the Text-dependent Speaker Verification (TdSV) Challenge 2024, which centers on analyzing and exploring novel approaches for text-dependent speaker verification. The primary goal of this challenge is to motive…

The Deep Noise Suppression (DNS) challenge is designed to foster innovation in the area of noise suppression to achieve superior perceptual speech quality. This is the 4th DNS challenge, with the previous editions held at INTERSPEECH 2020,…
