Synthetic spoofing speech detection method based on center-symmetric local binary pattern by Jia XU, Zhihua JIAN, Honghui JIN, Chao WU, Lin YOU, Yingxiao WU

“…In view of the fact that the local binary pattern (LBP) based speech spoofing detection method has low detection accuracy when detecting synthetic speech, a spoofing speech detection method based on center-symmetric local binary pattern (CSLBP) was proposed.In this method, the spectrogram of the speech signal was obtained through short-time Fourier transform (STFT), and then the texture feature was extracted from the spectrogram using the CSLBP.The random forest classifier was trained by the extracted texture feature to realize the discrimination of genuine and spoofing speech.The CSLBP-based method comprehensively considered the value and position relationship of pixels in the spectrogram so as to contain more texture information, and reduced the feature dimension to 16 beneficial to decrease the amount of computation.Experimental results on the ASVspoof 2019 dataset show that, compared with the LBP-based spoofing detection method, the proposed method reduced the tandem detection cost function (t-DCF) of synthetic spoofing speech by 16.98% and increased the detection speed by 89.73%.…”

Social behavior in ASD males: The interplay between cognitive flexibility, working memory, and functional connectivity deviations by Shi Yu Chan, Jasmine Si Min Chuah, Pei Huang, Ai Peng Tan

“…Using neuroimaging data from the Autism Brain Imaging Data Exchange (ABIDE), we modeled normative trajectories of between-network resting-state functional connectivity (rsFC) in non-ASD males across childhood (n = 321). These normative charts were then applied to ASD males (n = 418) to calculate individual deviation scores (z-scores) that reflect the degree of rsFC atypicality. …”

Prediction of heavy metal spatial distribution in soils of typical industrial zones utilizing 3D convolutional neural networks by Chao Liu, Lan Chen, Guoqing Ni, Xiuhe Yuan, Shuai He, Sheng Miao

“…The results show that the $$R^2$$ of 3DCNN for predicting cadmium (Cd), lead (Pb), copper (Cu) and nickel (Ni) are 0.59, 0.59, 0.77 and 0.51, respectively. Therefore, 3DCNN can be used as an effective method for spatial prediction of soil heavy metals, which can reduce the cost of sampling and laboratory analysis. …”
