DeepFense: A Unified, Modular, and Extensible Framework for Robust Deepfake Audio Detection

Yassine El Kheir, Arnab Das, Yixuan Xiao +6

Speech deepfake detection is a well-established research field with different models, datasets, and training strategies. However, the lack of standardized implementations and evalu…

Use Cases for Voice Anonymization

Sarina Meyer, Ngoc Thang Vu

The performance of a voice anonymization system is typically measured according to its ability to hide the speaker's identity and keep the data's utility for downstream tasks. This…

The Risks and Detection of Overestimated Privacy Protection in Voice Anonymisation

Michele Panariello, Sarina Meyer, Pierre Champion +4

Voice anonymisation aims to conceal the voice identity of speakers in speech recordings. Privacy protection is usually estimated from the difficulty of using a speaker verification…

First Steps Towards Voice Anonymization for Code-Switching Speech

Sarina Meyer, Ekaterina Kolos, Ngoc Thang Vu

The goal of voice anonymization is to modify an audio such that the true identity of its speaker is hidden. Research on this task is typically limited to the same English read spee…

Investigating Stochastic Methods for Prosody Modeling in Speech Synthesis

Paul Mayer, Florian Lux, Alejandro Pérez-González-de-Martos +4

While generative methods have progressed rapidly in recent years, generating expressive prosody for an utterance remains a challenging task in text-to-speech synthesis. This is par…

High-Resolution Speech Restoration with Latent Diffusion Model

Tushar Dhyani, Florian Lux, Michele Mancusi +3

Traditional speech enhancement methods often oversimplify the task of restoration by focusing on a single type of distortion. Generative models that handle multiple distortions fre…

Probing the Feasibility of Multilingual Speaker Anonymization

Sarina Meyer, Florian Lux, Ngoc Thang Vu

In speaker anonymization, speech recordings are modified in a way that the identity of the speaker remains hidden. While this technology could help to protect the privacy of indivi…

Controlling Emotion in Text-to-Speech with Natural Language Prompts

Thomas Bott, Florian Lux, Ngoc Thang Vu

In recent years, prompting has quickly become one of the standard ways of steering the outputs of generative machine learning models, due to its intuitive use of natural language.…

Meta Learning Text-to-Speech Synthesis in over 7000 Languages

Florian Lux, Sarina Meyer, Lyonel Behringer +5

In this work, we take on the challenging task of building a single text-to-speech synthesis system that is capable of generating speech in over 7000 languages, many of which lack s…

Teaching a Multilingual Large Language Model to Understand Multilingual Speech via Multi-Instructional Training

Pavel Denisov, Ngoc Thang Vu

Recent advancements in language modeling have led to the emergence of Large Language Models (LLMs) capable of various natural language processing tasks. Despite their success in te…

The IMS Toucan System for the Blizzard Challenge 2023

Florian Lux, Julia Koch, Sarina Meyer +5

For our contribution to the Blizzard Challenge 2023, we improved on the system we submitted to the Blizzard Challenge 2021. Our approach entails a rule-based text-to-phoneme proces…

Leveraging Multilingual Self-Supervised Pretrained Models for Sequence-to-Sequence End-to-End Spoken Language Understanding

Pavel Denisov, Ngoc Thang Vu

A number of methods have been proposed for End-to-End Spoken Language Understanding (E2E-SLU) using pretrained models, however their evaluation often lacks multilingual setup and t…
