VoicePrivacy
The First VoicePrivacy Attacker Challenge is a new kind of challenge organized as part of the VoicePrivacy initiative. It focuses on developing attacker systems against voice anonymization, which will be evaluated against state-of-the-art anonymization systems including some submitted to the VoicePrivacy 2024 Challenge. Participants should develop their attacker systems in the form of automatic speaker verification systems and submit their scores on the test and development data to the organizers. The metric for evaluation is equal error rate (EER). Results and accepted challenge papers will be presented at a special session at ICASSP 2025, Hyderabad, India.
Formed in 2020, the VoicePrivacy initiative is spearheading the effort to develop privacy preservations solutions for speech technology. VoicePrivacy takes the form of a competitive benchmarking challenge, with common datasets, protocols and metrics. VoicePrivacy 2024, the third edition, starts in March 2024 and culminates in the VoicePrivacy Challenge workshop held in conjunction with the 4th Symposium on Security and Privacy in Speech Communication (SPSC), a joint event co-located with Interspeech 2024 in Kos Island, Greece.
You can learn more about the past editions from the archived VoicePrivacy 2022 site and from the paper The VoicePrivacy 2020 Challenge: Results and findings.
