Language development experts need tools that can automatically identify languages from fluent, conversational speech, and provide reliable estimates of usage rates at the level of an individual recording. However, language identification…
In this work, we propose a multi-target backdoor attack against speaker identification using position-independent clicking sounds as triggers. Unlike previous single-target approaches, our method targets up to 50 speakers simultaneously,…
This study investigates the explainability of embedding representations, specifically those used in modern audio spoofing detection systems based on deep neural networks, known as spoof embeddings. Building on established work in speaker…
Recognition systems are commonly designed to authenticate users at the access control levels of a system. A number of voice recognition methods have been developed using a pitch estimation process which are very vulnerable in low Signal to…
In a biometric authentication or identification system, the matcher compares a stored and a fresh template to determine whether there is a match. This assessment is based on both a similarity score and a predefined threshold. For better…
In the present paper, we investigate the fundamental trade-off of identification, secrecy, storage, and privacy-leakage rates in biometric identification systems for hidden or remote Gaussian sources. We introduce a technique for deriving…
Speaker identification systems are deployed in diverse environments, often different from the lab conditions on which they are trained and tested. In this paper, first, we show the problem of generalization using fixed thresholds (computed…
Voice privacy approaches that preserve the anonymity of speakers modify speech in an attempt to break the link with the true identity of the speaker. Current benchmarks measure speaker protection based on signal-to-signal comparisons. In…
The proliferation of speech technologies and rising privacy legislation calls for the development of privacy preservation solutions for speech applications. These are essential since speech signals convey a wealth of rich, personal and…
Speaker embeddings are promising identity-related features that can enhance the identity assignment performance of a tracking system by leveraging its spatial predictions, i.e, by performing identity reassignment. Common speaker embedding…
High-fidelity speech can be synthesized by end-to-end text-to-speech models in recent years. However, accessing and controlling speech attributes such as speaker identity, prosody, and emotion in a text-to-speech system remains a challenge.…
Voice assistants, such as smart speakers, have exploded in popularity. It is currently estimated that the smart speaker adoption rate has exceeded 35% in the US adult population. Manufacturers have integrated speaker identification…
Recent advances in speech technologies have produced new tools that can be used to improve the performance and flexibility of speaker recognition While there are few degrees of freedom or alternative methods when using fingerprint or iris…
It is well known that speaker identification performs extremely well in the neutral talking environments; however, the identification performance is declined sharply in the shouted talking environments. This work aims at proposing,…
Using a multi-accented corpus of parallel utterances for use with commercial speech devices, we present a case study to show that it is possible to quantify a degree of confidence about a source speaker's identity in the case of one-to-one…
The audio data is increasing day by day throughout the globe with the increase of telephonic conversations, video conferences and voice messages. This research provides a mechanism for identifying a speaker in an audio file, based on the…
Audio is a rich sensing modality that is useful for a variety of human activity recognition tasks. However, the ubiquitous nature of smartphones and smart speakers with always-on microphones has led to numerous privacy concerns and a lack…
Preserving a patient's identity is a challenge for automatic, speech-based diagnosis of mental health disorders. In this paper, we address this issue by proposing adversarial disentanglement of depression characteristics and speaker…
Deep speaker embeddings have been shown effective for assessing cognitive impairments aside from their original purpose of speaker verification. However, the research found that speaker embeddings encode speaker identity and an array of…
Separating different speaker properties from a multi-speaker environment is challenging. Instead of separating a two-speaker signal in signal space like speech source separation, a speaker embedding de-mixing approach is proposed. The…
