Abstract:Speaker anonymization systems continue to improve their ability to obfuscate the original speaker characteristics in a speech signal, but often create processing artifacts and unnatural sounding voices as a tradeoff. Many of those systems stem from the VoicePrivacy Challenge (VPC) Baseline B1, using a neural vocoder to synthesize speech from an F0, x-vectors and bottleneck features-based speech representation. Inspired by this, we investigate the reproduction capabilities of the aforementioned baseline, to ass… Show more
