Speaker Identity in Non-Verbal Vocalizations: Conditional Distillation and Mixture of Experts Approach

Researchers present a novel framework for speaker verification in non-verbal vocalizations (NVVs) like laughter and sighs, combining Data2Vec features with ECAPA-TDNN and a Mixture of Experts module. The approach reduces speech-to-NVV error rates from 38.93% to 22.66% while maintaining speech verification accuracy, addressing a critical gap in voice authentication systems as TTS and voice conversion technologies become increasingly sophisticated.

Gender Fairness in Audio Deepfake Detection: Performance and Disparity Analysis

Researchers analyzed gender bias in audio deepfake detection systems using fairness metrics beyond standard performance measures. The study found significant gender disparities in error distribution that conventional metrics like Equal Error Rate failed to detect, highlighting the need for fairness-aware evaluation in AI voice authentication systems.
