New research explores multilingual voice anonymization attacks

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

Researchers have investigated the effectiveness of speaker verification attacks against voice anonymization systems, particularly in multilingual contexts. Their study revealed that the success of these attacks depends on the linguistic utility of the anonymized speech. Acoustic-oriented attackers generally performed better, but when linguistic information was well-preserved, content-oriented attackers showed comparable effectiveness. A newly constructed multilingual voice-converted dataset was used to improve cross-lingual generalization and partially reduce the gap between languages. AI

IMPACT Highlights the need for robust voice anonymization techniques that consider both acoustic and linguistic privacy in multilingual settings.

    Exploiting Acoustic and Content-Oriented Speaker Verification Attacks Against Multilingual Voice Anonymization

    arXiv:2610.08107v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Attacker ASV systems for voice anonymization have been studied primarily in English, leaving their behavior in multilingual settings largely unexplored. Conventional ASV has shown that both acoustic and contextual information are …
