Voice anonymization systems aim to protect speaker privacy by obscuring vocal traits while preserving the linguistic content relevant for downstream applications. However, because these linguistic cues remain intact, they can be exploited…

Privacy-preserving voice protection approaches primarily suppress privacy-related information derived from paralinguistic attributes while preserving the linguistic content. Existing solutions focus particularly on single-speaker scenarios.…

Current speaker anonymization methods, especially with self-supervised learning (SSL) models, require massive computational resources when hiding speaker identity. This paper proposes an effective and parameter-efficient speaker…

A general disentanglement-based speaker anonymization system typically separates speech into content, speaker, and prosody features using individual encoders. This paper explores how to adapt such a system when a new speech attribute, for…

The First VoicePrivacy Attacker Challenge is an ICASSP 2025 SP Grand Challenge which focuses on evaluating attacker systems against a set of voice anonymization systems submitted to the VoicePrivacy 2024 Challenge. Training, development,…

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…

Voice anonymisation aims to conceal the voice identity of speakers in speech recordings. Privacy protection is usually estimated from the difficulty of using a speaker verification system to re-identify the speaker post-anonymisation.…

This paper describes our NPU-Elevoc personalized speech enhancement system (NAPSE) for the 5th Deep Noise Suppression Challenge at ICASSP 2023. Based on the superior two-stage model TEA-PSE 2.0, our system particularly explores better…

Faced with the threat of identity leakage during voice data publishing, users are engaged in a privacy-utility dilemma when enjoying convenient voice services. Existing studies employ direct modification or text-based re-synthesis to…

Representing speech and audio signals in discrete units has become a compelling alternative to traditional high-dimensional feature vectors. Numerous studies have highlighted the efficacy of discrete units in various applications such as…

In speech technologies, speaker's voice representation is used in many applications such as speech recognition, voice conversion, speech synthesis and, obviously, user authentication. Modern vocal representations of the speaker are based on…

Voice conversion for speaker anonymization is an emerging concept for privacy protection. In a deep learning setting, this is achieved by extracting multiple features from speech, altering the speaker identity, and waveform synthesis.…

This paper describes the NPU system submitted to Interspeech 2020 Far-Field Speaker Verification Challenge (FFSVC). We particularly focus on far-field text-dependent SV from single (task1) and multiple microphone arrays (task3). The major…

Voice anonymization has been developed as a technique for preserving privacy by replacing the speaker's voice in a speech signal with that of a pseudo-speaker, thereby obscuring the original voice attributes from machine recognition and…

The First VoicePrivacy Attacker Challenge is a new kind of challenge organized as part of the VoicePrivacy initiative and supported by ICASSP 2025 as the SP Grand Challenge It focuses on developing attacker systems against voice…

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…

We address the challenge of preserving emotional content in streaming speaker anonymization (SA). Neural audio codec language models trained for audio continuation tend to degrade source emotion: content tokens discard emotional…

Speech signals contain a lot of sensitive information, such as the speaker's identity, which raises privacy concerns when speech data get collected. Speaker anonymization aims to transform a speech signal to remove the source speaker's…

This paper describes the NPU system submitted to Spoofing Aware Speaker Verification Challenge 2022. We particularly focus on the \textit{backend ensemble} for speaker verification and spoofing countermeasure from three aspects. Firstly,…

The development of privacy-preserving automatic speaker verification systems has been the focus of a number of studies with the intent of allowing users to authenticate themselves without risking the privacy of their voice. However, current…
