ASV (automatic speaker verification) systems are intrinsically required to reject both non-target (e.g., voice uttered by different speaker) and spoofed (e.g., synthesised or converted) inputs. However, there is little consideration for how…
One of the most crucial components in the field of biometric security is the automatic speaker verification system, which is based on the speaker's voice. It is possible to utilise ASVs in isolation or in conjunction with other AI models.…
Speaker verification (SV) systems are currently being used to make sensitive decisions like giving access to bank accounts or deciding whether the voice of a suspect coincides with that of the perpetrator of a crime. Ensuring that these…
Growing interest in automatic speaker verification (ASV)systems has lead to significant quality improvement of spoofing attackson them. Many research works confirm that despite the low equal er-ror rate (EER) ASV systems are still…
Paralinguistic properties of speech are essential in analyzing and choosing optimal treatment options for patients with speech disorders. However, automatic modeling of these characteristics is difficult due to the lack of labeled speech…
In this paper, we study the impact of the ageing on modern deep speaker embedding based automatic speaker verification (ASV) systems. We have selected two different datasets to examine ageing on the state-of-the-art ECAPA-TDNN system. The…
Aphasia is a language disorder affecting one third of stroke patients. Current aphasia assessment does not consider natural speech due to the time consuming nature of manual transcriptions and a lack of knowledge on how to analyze such…
The performances of the automatic speaker verification (ASV) systems degrade due to the reduction in the amount of speech used for enrollment and verification. Combining multiple systems based on different features and classifiers…
The current automatic speaker verification (ASV) task involves making binary decisions on two types of trials: target and non-target. However, emerging advancements in speech generation technology pose significant threats to the reliability…
Speaker Verification (SV) systems involve mainly two individual stages: feature extraction and classification. In this paper, we explore these two modules with the aim of improving the performance of a speaker verification system under…
In speaker verification (SV), the acoustic mismatch between children's and adults' speech leads to suboptimal performance when adult-trained SV systems are applied to children's speaker verification (C-SV). While domain adaptation…
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…
We consider technology-assisted mimicry attacks in the context of automatic speaker verification (ASV). We use ASV itself to select targeted speakers to be attacked by human-based mimicry. We recorded 6 naive mimics for whom we select…
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 recent years identity-vector (i-vector) based speaker verification (SV) systems have become very successful. Nevertheless, environmental noise and speech duration variability still have a significant effect on degrading the performance…
This paper presents a new voice impersonation attack using voice conversion (VC). Enrolling personal voices for automatic speaker verification (ASV) offers natural and flexible biometric authentication systems. Basically, the ASV systems do…
A Virtual Patient (VP) is a powerful tool for training medical students to take patient histories, where responding to a diverse set of spoken questions is essential to simulate natural conversations with a student. The performance of such…
The development of pathological speech systems is currently hindered by the lack of a standardised objective evaluation framework. In this work, (1) we utilise existing detection and analysis techniques to propose a general framework for…
We investigate the performance of self-supervised pretraining frameworks on pathological speech datasets used for automatic speech recognition (ASR). Modern end-to-end models require thousands of hours of data to train well, but only a…
A speaker verification (SV) system offers an authentication service designed to confirm whether a given speech sample originates from a specific speaker. This technology has paved the way for various personalized applications that cater to…
