A method for synthetic speech detection using local phase quantization by Jia XU, Zhihua JIAN, Honghui JIN, Man YANG

“…Due to the convenience of speech synthesis, synthesized disguised speech poses a great threat to the security of speaker verification systems.In order to further enhance the ability of detecting the camouflage to the speaker verification system, a method of synthetic speech detection was put forward using the information in spectral domain of the synthetic speech spectrogram.The method employed the local phase quantization (LPQ) algorithm to describe frequency domain information in the speech spectrogram.Firstly, the spectrogram was divided into several sub-blocks, and then the LPQ was performed on each sub-block.After the histogram statistical analysis, the LPQ feature vector was obtained and used as the input feature of the random forest classifier to realize the synthetic speech detection.The experimental results demonstrate that the proposed method further reduces tandem detection cost function (t-DCF) and has better generalization ability.…”

Research development and forecast of automatic speech recognition technologies by Haikun WANG, Jia PAN, Cong LIU

“…The purpose of automatic speech recognition (ASR) is to make the machine to be able to “understand” the human speech and transform it to readable text information.ASR is one of the key technologies of human machine interaction and also a hot research domain for a long time.In recent years,due to the application of deep neural networks,the use of big data and the popularity of cloud computing,ASR has made great progress and break through the threshold of application in many industries.More and more products with ASR have entered people’s daily life,such as Apple’s Siri,Amazon’s Alexa,IFLYTEK speech input method and Dingdong intelligent speaker and so on.The development status and key breakthrough technologies in recent years were introduced.Also,a forecast of ASR technologies’ trend of development was given.…”
