Giskard : Byzantine Robust and Private Aggregation for Large-Scale Decentralized Learning

Ousmane Touat, César Sabater, Mohamed Maouche +1

In decentralized learning, clients train a machine learning model while keeping their data locally and share their model parameters or gradients with a set of neighbors, making it…

Design Choices for X-vector Based Speaker Anonymization

Brij Mohan Lal Srivastava, Natalia Tomashenko, Xin Wang +5

The recently proposed x-vector based anonymization scheme converts any input voice into that of a random pseudo-speaker. In this paper, we present a flexible pseudo-speaker selecti…
