We propose an approach for training speaker identification models in a weakly supervised manner. We concentrate on the setting where the training data consists of a set of audio recordings and the speaker annotation is provided only at the…
Self-Supervised Learning (SSL) has led to considerable progress in Speaker Verification (SV). The standard framework uses same-utterance positive sampling and data-augmentation to generate anchor-positive pairs of the same speaker. This is…
With the surge of social media, maliciously tampered public speeches, especially those from influential figures, have seriously affected social stability and public trust. Existing speech tampering detection methods remain insufficient:…
In real-world applications, it is challenging to build a speaker verification system that is simultaneously robust against common threats, including spoofing attacks, channel mismatch, and domain mismatch. Traditional automatic speaker…
In the field of speaker verification, session or channel variability poses a significant challenge. While many contemporary methods aim to disentangle session information from speaker embeddings, we introduce a novel approach using an…
This paper introduces the Extended Length Audio Dataset for Synthetic Voice Detection and Speaker Recognition (ELAD SVDSR), a resource specifically designed to facilitate the creation of high quality deepfakes and support the development of…
Automatic detection of speaker confidence is critical for adaptive computing but remains constrained by limited labelled data and the subjectivity of paralinguistic annotations. This paper proposes a semi-supervised hybrid framework that…
The convolutional neural network (CNN) based approaches have shown great success for speaker verification (SV) tasks, where modeling long temporal context and reducing information loss of speaker characteristics are two important challenges…
Singing voice synthesis (SVS) is a task that aims to generate audio signals according to musical scores and lyrics. With its multifaceted nature concerning music and language, producing singing voices indistinguishable from that of human…
It is widely acknowledged that discriminative representation for speaker verification can be extracted from verbal speech. However, how much speaker information that non-verbal vocalization carries is still a puzzle. This paper explores…
When decisions are made and when personal data is treated by automated processes, there is an expectation of fairness -- that members of different demographic groups receive equitable treatment. This expectation applies to biometric systems…
Recent years have witnessed the extraordinary development of automatic speaker verification (ASV). However, previous works show that state-of-the-art ASV models are seriously vulnerable to voice spoofing attacks, and the recently proposed…
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…
Whether it be for results summarization, or the analysis of classifier fusion, some means to compare different classifiers can often provide illuminating insight into their behaviour, (dis)similarity or complementarity. We propose a simple…
Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR) systems have been evolving quickly and reaching human parity in certain cases. The systems usually perform pretty well on reading style and clean speech, however, most of the available systems suffer from…
Facial recognition system is one of the major successes of Artificial intelligence and has been used a lot over the last years. But, images are not the only biometric present: audio is another possible biometric that can be used as an…
Wav2vec 2.0 is a recently proposed self-supervised framework for speech representation learning. It follows a two-stage training process of pre-training and fine-tuning, and performs well in speech recognition tasks especially ultra-low…
The Automatic Speaker Verification (ASV) system is vulnerable to fraudulent activities using audio deepfakes, also known as logical-access voice spoofing attacks. These deepfakes pose a concerning threat to voice biometrics due to recent…
The VoxCeleb Speaker Recognition Challenges (VoxSRC) were a series of challenges and workshops that ran annually from 2019 to 2023. The challenges primarily evaluated the tasks of speaker recognition and diarisation under various settings…
Researches indicate that text-dependent speaker verification (TD-SV) often outperforms text-independent verification (TI-SV) in short speech scenarios. However, collecting large-scale fixed text speech data is challenging, and as speech…
