AffectDF: The Most Comprehensive Benchmark for Speech Deepfake Detection against Emotionally Expressive Attacks
Aurosweta Mahapatra, Xiutian Zhao, Shreeram Suresh Chandra +7
Speech deepfake detection (SDD) systems achieve strong performance on conventional benchmarks; however, existing datasets provide limited coverage of emotionally expressive and rec…
Disentangling the Interpretive and Predictive Roles of LIWC: Controlled Substitution in Depression-Related Classification
Hsiang-Chen Yeh, Xiutian Zhao, Aurosweta Mahapatra +3
Linguistic Inquiry and Word Count (LIWC) provides auditable psycholinguistic categories that are widely used to interpret depression-related language, but its incremental predictiv…
TRACE-EVC: Text-Guided Relative Affective Control for Zero-Shot Emotional Voice Conversion
Zihan Zhang, Shreeram Suresh Chandra, Zongyang Du +5
Traditional emotional voice conversion (EVC) conditions generation on explicit target emotions like labels or references, defining the target affective state but omitting the direc…
Who is Speaking or Who is Depressed? A Controlled Study of Speaker Leakage in Speech-Based Depression Detection
Hsiang-Chen Yeh, Luqi Sun, Aurosweta Mahapatra +3
This study investigates whether speech-based depression detection models learn depression-related acoustic biomarkers or instead rely on speaker identity cues. Using the DAIC-WOZ d…
ProSDD: Learning Prosodic Representations for Speech Deepfake Detection against Expressive and Emotional Attacks
Aurosweta Mahapatra, Ismail Rasim Ulgen, Kong Aik Lee +2
Speech deepfake detection (SDD) systems perform well on standard benchmarks datasets but often fail to generalize to expressive and emotional spoofing attacks. Many methods rely on…
NaturalVoices: A Large-Scale, Spontaneous and Emotional Podcast Dataset for Voice Conversion
Zongyang Du, Shreeram Suresh Chandra, Ismail Rasim Ulgen +4
Everyday speech conveys far more than words, it reflects who we are, how we feel, and the circumstances surrounding our interactions. Yet, most existing speech datasets are acted,…
