Perception of Polish accent in a re-synthesized speech signal by W. JASSEM, W. Van Dommelen

“…The utterance /vidzitceteras/ was spoken, in three versions, with the accent (I) on the first, (II) on the second and (IV) on the fourth syllable. Using a package of computer programs for speech processing which executes analysis and synthesis by linear prediction, the fundamental frequency parameter, or F_0, was mutually exchaned among the three versions, in two listening experiments. …”

Efficient secure federated learning aggregation framework based on homomorphic encryption by Shengxing YU, Zhong CHEN

“…In order to solve the problems of data security and communication overhead in federated learning, an efficient and secure federated aggregation framework based on homomorphic encryption was proposed.In the process of federated learning, the privacy and security issues of user data need to be solved urgently.However, the computational cost and communication overhead caused by the encryption scheme would affect the training efficiency.Firstly, in the case of protecting data security and ensuring training efficiency, the Top-K gradient selection method was used to screen model gradients, reducing the number of gradients that need to be uploaded.A candidate quantization protocol suitable for multi-edge terminals and a secure candidate index merging algorithm were proposed to further reduce communication overhead and accelerate homomorphic encryption calculations.Secondly, since model parameters of each layer of neural networks had characteristics of the Gaussian distribution, the selected model gradients were clipped and quantized, and the gradient unsigned quantization protocol was adopted to speed up the homomorphic encryption calculation.Finally, the experimental results show that in the federated learning scenario, the proposed framework can protect data privacy, and has high accuracy and efficient performance.…”
