Multimodal ASV systems threaten speaker anonymization by aggregating speech cues

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

A new research paper explores the effectiveness of multimodal speaker verification (ASV) systems when dealing with multiple anonymized speech utterances. The study found that aggregating acoustic, prosodic, and linguistic cues across several anonymized utterances significantly improves speaker identification accuracy. Even with just five anonymized utterances, combining audio and text data reduced the Equal Error Rate (EER) by over 15% compared to audio-only methods, indicating that speaker information remains accessible despite anonymization efforts.

    Multimodal Speaker Verification as a Threat to Speaker Anonymization

    Most automatic speaker verification (ASV) systems operate on individual utterances, despite real-world interactions typically consisting of multiple utterances. As speech accumulates, increasingly rich speaker information becomes available through acoustic, prosodic, and linguist…
