Automatic Speaker Verification (ASV) systems can be used for voice-enabled applications for identity verification. However, recent studies have exposed these systems' vulnerabilities to both over-the-line (OTL) and over-the-air (OTA)…
Open-vocabulary object detection aims to detect arbitrary classes via text prompts. Methods without cross-modal fusion layers (non-fusion) offer faster inference by treating recognition as a retrieval problem, \ie, matching regions to text…
One-time login process in conventional authentication systems does not guarantee that the identified user is the actual user throughout the session. However, it is necessary to re-verify the user identity periodically throughout a login…
In this paper, we present the XMUSPEECH system for Task 1 of 2020 Personalized Voice Trigger Challenge (PVTC2020). Task 1 is a joint wake-up word detection with speaker verification on close talking data. The whole system consists of a…
Voice over IP (VoIP) is the transmission of voice and multimedia content over Internet Protocol (IP) networks, this paper reviews models, frameworks and auditing standards proposed to this date to manage VoIP security through a literature…
