Protecting speaker identity is crucial for online voice applications, yet streaming speaker anonymization (SA) remains underexplored. Recent research has demonstrated that neural audio codec (NAC) provides superior speaker feature…

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…

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.…

Speaker anonymization aims to conceal cues to speaker identity while preserving linguistic content. Current machine learning based approaches require substantial computational resources, hindering real-time streaming applications. To…

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…

Real-time voice conversion and speaker anonymization require causal, low-latency synthesis without sacrificing intelligibility or naturalness. Current systems have a core representational mismatch: content is time-varying, while speaker…

We propose a first streaming accent conversion (AC) model that transforms non-native speech into a native-like accent while preserving speaker identity, prosody and improving pronunciation. Our approach enables stream processing by…

Speaker anonymization aims to conceal a speaker's identity without degrading speech quality and intelligibility. Most speaker anonymization systems disentangle the speaker representation from the original speech and achieve anonymization by…

Personalized speech enhancement (PSE) models utilize additional cues, such as speaker embeddings like d-vectors, to remove background noise and interfering speech in real-time and thus improve the speech quality of online video conferencing…

Personalised speech enhancement (PSE), which extracts only the speech of a target user and removes everything else from a recorded audio clip, can potentially improve users' experiences of audio AI modules deployed in the wild. To support a…

The growing use of voice user interfaces has led to a surge in the collection and storage of speech data. While data collection allows for the development of efficient tools powering most speech services, it also poses serious privacy…

Accent normalization converts foreign-accented speech into native-like speech while preserving speaker identity. We propose a novel pipeline using self-supervised discrete tokens and non-parallel training data. The system extracts tokens…

Disentanglement-based speaker anonymization involves decomposing speech into a semantically meaningful representation, altering the speaker embedding, and resynthesizing a waveform using a neural vocoder. State-of-the-art systems of this…

The social media revolution has produced a plethora of web services to which users can easily upload and share multimedia documents. Despite the popularity and convenience of such services, the sharing of such inherently personal data,…

Voice conversion for speaker anonymization is an emerging field in speech processing research. Many state-of-the-art approaches are based on the resynthesis of the phoneme posteriorgrams (PPG), the fundamental frequency (F0) of the input…

Emotion plays a significant role in speech interaction, conveyed through tone, pitch, and rhythm, enabling the expression of feelings and intentions beyond words to create a more personalized experience. However, most existing speaker…

Anonymisation has the goal of manipulating speech signals in order to degrade the reliability of automatic approaches to speaker recognition, while preserving other aspects of speech, such as those relating to intelligibility and…

We propose DarkStream, a streaming speech synthesis model for real-time speaker anonymization. To improve content encoding under strict latency constraints, DarkStream combines a causal waveform encoder, a short lookahead buffer, and…

The goal of accent conversion (AC) is to convert the accent of speech into the target accent while preserving the content and speaker identity. AC enables a variety of applications, such as language learning, speech content creation, and…

The trend of scaling up speech generation models poses a threat of biometric information leakage of the identities of the voices in the training data, raising privacy and security concerns. In this paper, we investigate training…
