Investigating Polyglot Speech Foundation Models for Learning Collective Emotion from Crowds

Orchid Chetia Phukan, Girish, Mohd Mujtaba Akhtar +6

This paper investigates the polyglot (multilingual) speech foundation models (SFMs) for Crowd Emotion Recognition (CER). We hypothesize that polyglot SFMs, pre-trained on diverse l…

Rethinking Cross-Corpus Speech Emotion Recognition Benchmarking: Are Paralinguistic Pre-Trained Representations Sufficient?

Orchid Chetia Phukan, Mohd Mujtaba Akhtar, Girish +4

Recent benchmarks evaluating pre-trained models (PTMs) for cross-corpus speech emotion recognition (SER) have overlooked PTM pre-trained for paralinguistic speech processing (PSP),…

Towards Neural Audio Codec Source Parsing

Orchid Chetia Phukan, Girish, Mohd Mujtaba Akhtar +2

A new class of audio deepfakes-codecfakes (CFs)-has recently caught attention, synthesized by Audio Language Models that leverage neural audio codecs (NACs) in the backend. In resp…

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…

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…
