Andha-Dhun: A First Look at Audio Descriptions in Hindi
Ritabrata Chakraborty, Divy Kala, Nisheeth Bhooshan Gupta +3
Audio Descriptions (ADs) narrate visual content for Blind and Low Vision (BLV) audiences during gaps in audiovisual media. There is growing momentum around ADs in movies and TV sho…
HYFuse: Aligning Heterogeneous Speech Pre-Trained Representations in Hyperbolic Space for Speech Emotion Recognition
Orchid Chetia Phukan, Girish, Mohd Mujtaba Akhtar +4
Compression-based representations (CBRs) from neural audio codecs such as EnCodec capture intricate acoustic features like pitch and timbre, while representation-learning-based rep…
SNIFR : Boosting Fine-Grained Child Harmful Content Detection Through Audio-Visual Alignment with Cascaded Cross-Transformer
Orchid Chetia Phukan, Mohd Mujtaba Akhtar, Girish +8
As video-sharing platforms have grown over the past decade, child viewership has surged, increasing the need for precise detection of harmful content like violence or explicit scen…
Towards Source Attribution of Singing Voice Deepfake with Multimodal Foundation Models
Orchid Chetia Phukan, Girish, Mohd Mujtaba Akhtar +5
In this work, we introduce the task of singing voice deepfake source attribution (SVDSA). We hypothesize that multimodal foundation models (MMFMs) such as ImageBind, LanguageBind w…
Investigating the Reasonable Effectiveness of Speaker Pre-Trained Models and their Synergistic Power for SingMOS Prediction
Orchid Chetia Phukan, Girish, Mohd Mujtaba Akhtar +4
In this study, we focus on Singing Voice Mean Opinion Score (SingMOS) prediction. Previous research have shown the performance benefit with the use of state-of-the-art (SOTA) pre-t…
Source Tracing of Synthetic Speech Systems Through Paralinguistic Pre-Trained Representations
Girish, Mohd Mujtaba Akhtar, Orchid Chetia Phukan +5
In this work, we focus on source tracing of synthetic speech generation systems (STSGS). Each source embeds distinctive paralinguistic features--such as pitch, tone, rhythm, and in…
