The Voice Conversion Challenge 2020 is the third edition under its flagship that promotes intra-lingual semiparallel and cross-lingual voice conversion (VC). While the primary evaluation of the challenge submissions was done through…
Recently, many novel techniques have been introduced to deal with spoofing attacks, and achieve promising countermeasure (CM) performances. However, these works only take the stand-alone CM models into account. Nowadays, a spoofing aware…
Spoofing-robust automatic speaker verification (SASV) systems are a crucial technology for the protection against spoofed speech. In this study, we focus on logical access attacks and introduce a novel approach to SASV tasks. A novel…
Automatic Speaker Verification (ASV) systems are increasingly used in voice bio-metrics for user authentication but are susceptible to logical and physical spoofing attacks, posing security risks. Existing research mainly tackles logical or…
Multimodal speech recognition aims to improve the performance of automatic speech recognition (ASR) systems by leveraging additional visual information that is usually associated to the audio input. While previous approaches make crucial…
This paper presents an audio visual automatic speech recognition (AV-ASR) system using a Transformer-based architecture. We particularly focus on the scene context provided by the visual information, to ground the ASR. We extract…
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 adaptation techniques provide a powerful solution to customise automatic speech recognition (ASR) systems for individual users. Practical application of unsupervised model-based speaker adaptation techniques to data intensive…
Automatic speech recognition systems have created exciting possibilities for applications, however they also enable opportunities for systematic eavesdropping. We propose a method to camouflage a person's voice over-the-air from these…
Spoofing-robust automatic speaker verification (SASV) seeks to build automatic speaker verification systems that are robust against both zero-effort impostor attacks and sophisticated spoofing techniques such as voice conversion (VC) and…
Speaker anonymization aims to protect the privacy of speakers while preserving spoken linguistic information from speech. Current mainstream neural network speaker anonymization systems are complicated, containing an F0 extractor, speaker…
Speaker verification systems have been used in many production scenarios in recent years. Unfortunately, they are still highly prone to different kinds of spoofing attacks such as voice conversion and speech synthesis, etc. In this paper,…
Anti-spoofing is the task of speech authentication. That is, identifying genuine human speech compared to spoofed speech. The main focus of this paper is to suggest new representations for genuine and spoofed speech, based on the…
Classic public switched telephone networks (PSTN) are often a black box for VoIP network providers, as they have no access to performance indicators, such as delay or packet loss. Only the degraded output speech signal can be used to…
In real-world voice conversion applications, environmental noise in source speech and user demands for expressive output pose critical challenges. Traditional ASR-based methods ensure noise robustness but suppress prosody richness, while…
Audiovisual Automatic Speech Recognition (AV-ASR) aims to improve speech recognition accuracy by leveraging visual signals. It is particularly challenging in unconstrained real-world scenarios across various domains due to noisy acoustic…
Preschool evaluation is crucial because it gives teachers and parents influential knowledge about children's growth and development. The COVID-19 pandemic has highlighted the necessity of online assessment for preschool children. One of the…
Dysarthric speech reconstruction is challenging due to its pathological sound patterns. Preserving speaker identity, especially without access to normal speech, is a key challenge. Our proposed approach uses contrastive learning to extract…
This paper presents an end-to-end model designed to improve automatic speech recognition (ASR) for a particular speaker in a crowded, noisy environment. The model utilizes a single-channel speech enhancement module that isolates the…
The wav2vec 2.0 and integrated spectro-temporal graph attention network (AASIST) based countermeasure achieves great performance in speech anti-spoofing. However, current spoof speech detection systems have fixed training and evaluation…
