Monotonicity regularization: Improved penalties and novel applications to disentangled representation learning and robust classification

UAI 2022poster

We study settings where gradient penalties are used alongside risk minimization with the goal of obtaining predictors satisfying different notions of monotonicity. Specifically, we present two sets of contributions. In the first part of the paper, we show that different choices of penalties define t…

An Ensemble Based Approach for Generalized Detection of Spoofing Attacks to Automatic Speaker Recognizers

ICASSP 2020accepted

As automatic speaker recognizer systems become mainstream, voice spoofing attacks are on the rise. Common attack strategies include replay, the use of text-to-speech synthesis, and voice conversion systems. While previouslyproposed end-to-end detection frameworks have shown to be effective in spotti…

Multi-Task Self-Supervised Learning for Robust Speech Recognition

ICASSP 2020accepted

Despite the growing interest in unsupervised learning, extracting meaningful knowledge from unlabelled audio remains an open challenge. To take a step in this direction, we recently proposed a problem-agnostic speech encoder (PASE), that combines a convolutional encoder followed by multiple neural n…

Generative Adversarial Speaker Embedding Networks for Domain Robust End-to-end Speaker Verification

ICASSP 2019accepted

This article presents a novel approach for learning domain-invariant speaker embeddings using Generative Adversarial Networks. The main idea is to confuse a domain discriminator so that it cannot tell if embeddings are from the source or target domains. We train several GAN variants using our propos…
