From Signals to Patterns: Non-Invasive Tuberculosis Detection from Cough Audio using Bandit Weighted Hyperbolic Prototypes

Mohd Mujtaba Akhtar, Girish, Sanjam Wadhwa +2

In this study, we focus on cough-based tuberculosis screening (CBTS) and hypothesize that fusing speech/audio foundation representations with spectral descriptors will yield strong…

Bridging the SEA Gap: An Initial Benchmark for Neural Audio Codec-Synthesized Speech Deepfakes in South-East Asian Languages

Orchid Chetia Phukan, Girish, Mohd Mujtaba Akhtar +1

Codecfakes (CFs) are a type of speech deepfakes generated through Audio Language Models (ALMs), with Neural Audio Codecs (NACs) forming the core mechanism for speech encoding and g…

Prosody as Supervision: Bridging the Non-Verbal--Verbal for Multilingual Speech Emotion Recognition

Girish, Mohd Mujtaba Akhtar, Muskaan Singh

In this work, we introduce a paralinguistic supervision paradigm for low-resource multilingual speech emotion recognition (LRM-SER) that leverages non-verbal vocalizations to explo…

Indic-CodecFake meets SATYAM: Towards Detecting Neural Audio Codec Synthesized Speech Deepfakes in Indic Languages

Girish, Mohd Mujtaba Akhtar, Orchid Chetia Phukan +1

The rapid advancement of Audio Large Language Models (ALMs), driven by Neural Audio Codecs (NACs), has led to the emergence of highly realistic speech deepfakes, commonly referred…
