We use the term re-identification to refer to the process of recovering the original speaker's identity from anonymized speech outputs. Speaker de-identification systems aim to reduce the risk of re-identification, but most evaluations…
We propose a neural network for zero-shot voice conversion (VC) without any parallel or transcribed data. Our approach uses pre-trained models for automatic speech recognition (ASR) and speaker embedding, obtained from a speaker…
As a type of biometric identification, a speaker identification (SID) system is confronted with various kinds of attacks. The spoofing attacks typically imitate the timbre of the target speakers, while the adversarial attacks confuse the…
Voice recognition and speaker identification are vital for applications in security and personal assistants. This paper presents a lightweight 1D-Convolutional Neural Network (1D-CNN) designed to perform speaker identification on minimal…
Speaker verification, as a biometric authentication mechanism, has been widely used due to the pervasiveness of voice control on smart devices. However, the task of "in-the-wild" speaker verification is still challenging, considering the…
One-shot voice conversion (VC), which performs conversion across arbitrary speakers with only a single target-speaker utterance for reference, can be effectively achieved by speech representation disentanglement. Existing work generally…
Adolescent suicide is a critical global health issue, and speech provides a cost-effective modality for automatic suicide risk detection. Given the vulnerable population, protecting speaker identity is particularly important, as speech…
Zero-shot voice conversion aims to transform a source speech utterance to match the timbre of a reference speech from an unseen speaker. Traditional approaches struggle with timbre leakage, insufficient timbre representation, and mismatches…
Zero-shot voice conversion is becoming an increasingly popular research topic, as it promises the ability to transform speech to sound like any speaker. However, relatively little work has been done on end-to-end methods for this task,…
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…
Disentangling content and speaking style information is essential for zero-shot non-parallel voice conversion (VC). Our previous study investigated a novel framework with disentangled sequential variational autoencoder (DSVAE) as the…
Adversarial attack approaches to speaker identification either need high computational cost or are not very effective, to our knowledge. To address this issue, in this paper, we propose a novel generation-network-based approach, called…
Variational auto-encoder (VAE) is an effective neural network architecture to disentangle a speech utterance into speaker identity and linguistic content latent embeddings, then generate an utterance for a target speaker from that of a…
Voice conversion (VC) modifies voice characteristics while preserving linguistic content. This paper presents the Stepback network, a novel model for converting speaker identity using non-parallel data. Unlike traditional VC methods that…
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…
