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…

DiffAnon: Diffusion-based Prosody Control for Voice Anonymization

Ismail Rasim Ulgen, Zexin Cai, Nicholas Andrews +2

To preserve or not to preserve prosody is a central question in voice anonymization. Prosody conveys meaning and affect, yet is tightly coupled with speaker identity. Existing meth…

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…

Neuron-Level Emotion Control in Speech-Generative Large Audio-Language Models

Xiutian Zhao, Ismail Rasim Ulgen, Philipp Koehn +2

Large audio-language models (LALMs) can produce expressive speech, yet reliable emotion control remains elusive: conversions often miss the target affect and may degrade linguistic…

Objective Evaluation of Prosody and Intelligibility in Speech Synthesis via Conditional Prediction of Discrete Tokens

Ismail Rasim Ulgen, Zongyang Du, Junchen Lu +2

Objective evaluation of synthesized speech is critical for advancing speech generation systems, yet existing metrics for intelligibility and prosody remain limited in scope and wea…

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,…
