In this study, we propose a timbre-reserved adversarial attack approach for speaker identification (SID) to not only exploit the weakness of the SID model but also preserve the timbre of the target speaker in a black-box attack setting.…
The current privacy evaluation for speaker anonymization often overestimates privacy when a same-gender target selection algorithm (TSA) is used, although this TSA leaks the speaker's gender and should hence be more vulnerable. We…
End-to-end Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR) models are usually trained to optimize the loss of the whole token sequence, while neglecting explicit phonemic-granularity supervision. This could result in recognition errors due to…
The detection of anomalous sounds in machinery operation presents a significant challenge due to the difficulty in generalizing anomalous acoustic patterns. This task is typically approached as an unsupervised learning or novelty detection…

The first spoofing-aware speaker verification (SASV) challenge aims to integrate research efforts in speaker verification and anti-spoofing. We extend the speaker verification scenario by introducing spoofed trials to the usual set of…
Current speech enhancement techniques operate on the spectral domain and/or exploit some higher-level feature. The majority of them tackle a limited number of noise conditions and rely on first-order statistics. To circumvent these issues,…
