Investigation of perception inconsistency in speaker embedding for asynchronous voice anonymization
Given the speech generation framework that represents the speaker attribute with an embedding vector, asynchronous voice anonymization can be achieved by modifying the speaker embedding derived from the original speech. However, the inconsistency between machine and human perceptions of the speaker attribute within the speaker embedding remains unexplored, limiting its performance in asynchronous voice anonymization. To this end, this study investigates this inconsistency via modifications to s…
