“…To pseudonymize the formants, the target frequencies, represented in terms of VTLs 𝜙 𝑖 = 𝐹 𝑖 ∕(2𝑖 − 1), can be randomly chosen in the range 𝜙 𝑖 ±40 and 𝜙 𝑖 ±75 Hz for F 0−1 and F 2−5 , respectively, and the intensities can be randomly chosen in the range 64 ± 4.5, 67 ± 2.5, 58 ± 4.5, 50±8, 47 ± 10, 45±9 dB (I 0−5 ±2SD), where SD denotes standard deviation. These values were chosen based on ranges found in the speakers in the IFA corpus (Van Son et al, 2001) (5M/5F, see Experiment 1, Section 3.1.1). In an alternative setting where a given speaker is to be pseudonymized to a specific target speaker, the parameters 𝜙, 𝜙 𝑖 (𝑖 = 1...5), 𝐼 𝑖 (𝑖 = 0...5) and speaking rate can be pre-computed across several of the target speaker's utterances (preferably over 300 s spoken in a comparable style) and used.…”
