Recently, speech assistant and speech verification have been used in many fields, which brings much benefit and convenience for us. However, when we enjoy these speech applications, our speech may be collected by attackers for speech…
In this paper, we investigate the impact of speech temporal dynamics in application to automatic speaker verification and speaker voice anonymization tasks. We propose several metrics to perform automatic speaker verification based only on…
This paper presents SpecWav-Attack, an adversarial model for detecting speakers in anonymized speech. It leverages Wav2Vec2 for feature extraction and incorporates spectrogram resizing and incremental training for improved performance.…
Acoustic-to-Articulatory Inversion (AAI) attempts to model the inverse mapping from speech to articulation. Exact articulatory prediction from speech alone may be impossible, as speakers can choose different forms of articulation seemingly…
This paper focuses on adapting the functionalities of the FastPitch model to the Romanian language; extending the set of speakers from one to eighteen; synthesising speech using an anonymous identity; and replicating the identities of new,…
Smart devices serviced by large-scale AI models necessitates user data transfer to the cloud for inference. For speech applications, this means transferring private user information, e.g., speaker identity. Our paper proposes a…
The presence of multiple talkers in the surrounding environment poses a difficult challenge for real-time speech communication systems considering the constraints on network size and complexity. In this paper, we present Personalized…
Integration of speech into healthcare has intensified privacy concerns due to its potential as a non-invasive biomarker containing individual biometric information. In response, speaker anonymization aims to conceal personally identifiable…
In this work, we propose a novel method for modeling numerous speakers, which enables expressing the overall characteristics of speakers in detail like a trained multi-speaker model without additional training on the target speaker's…
In this paper, we present a Distribution-Preserving Voice Anonymization technique, as our submission to the VoicePrivacy Challenge 2020. We observe that the challenge baseline system generates fake X-vectors which are very similar to each…
Traditional voice conversion (VC) methods typically attempt to separate speaker identity and linguistic information into distinct representations, which are then combined to reconstruct the audio. However, effectively disentangling these…
In this paper, we propose dictionary attacks against speaker verification - a novel attack vector that aims to match a large fraction of speaker population by chance. We introduce a generic formulation of the attack that can be used with…
Audio captioning aims at generating natural language descriptions for audio clips automatically. Existing audio captioning models have shown promising improvement in recent years. However, these models are mostly trained via maximum…
As speech translation (ST) systems become increasingly prevalent, understanding their vulnerabilities is crucial for ensuring robust and reliable communication. However, limited work has explored this issue in depth. This paper explores…
Target speech separation is the process of filtering a certain speaker's voice out of speech mixtures according to the additional speaker identity information provided. Recent works have made considerable improvement by processing signals…
Now-a-days, speech-based biometric systems such as automatic speaker verification (ASV) are highly prone to spoofing attacks by an imposture. With recent development in various voice conversion (VC) and speech synthesis (SS) algorithms,…
This study focuses on the First VoicePrivacy Attacker Challenge within the ICASSP 2025 Signal Processing Grand Challenge, which aims to develop speaker verification systems capable of determining whether two anonymized speech signals are…
Recent years have seen a surge in the popularity of acoustics-enabled personal devices powered by machine learning. Yet, machine learning has proven to be vulnerable to adversarial examples. A large number of modern systems protect…
It is now well-known that automatic speaker verification (ASV) systems can be spoofed using various types of adversaries. The usual approach to counteract ASV systems against such attacks is to develop a separate spoofing countermeasure…
Human speech conveys prosody, linguistic content, and speaker identity. This article investigates a novel speaker anonymization approach using an end-to-end network based on a Vector-Quantized Variational Auto-Encoder (VQ-VAE) to deal with…
