“It seemed like an annoying woman”: On the Perception and Ethical Considerations of Affective Language in Text-Based Conversational Agents

no code implementations CoNLL (EMNLP) 2021 Lindsey Vanderlyn, Gianna Weber, Michael Neumann, Dirk Väth, Sarina Meyer, Ngoc Thang Vu

Based on statistical and qualitative analysis of the responses, we found language style played an important role in how human-like participants perceived a dialog agent as well as how likable.

The VoicePrivacy 2024 Challenge Evaluation Plan

1 code implementation3 Apr 2024 Natalia Tomashenko, Xiaoxiao Miao, Pierre Champion, Sarina Meyer, Xin Wang, Emmanuel Vincent, Michele Panariello, Nicholas Evans, Junichi Yamagishi, Massimiliano Todisco

The task of the challenge is to develop a voice anonymization system for speech data which conceals the speaker's voice identity while protecting linguistic content and emotional states.

Controllable Generation of Artificial Speaker Embeddings through Discovery of Principal Directions

no code implementations26 Oct 2023 Florian Lux, Pascal Tilli, Sarina Meyer, Ngoc Thang Vu

Customizing voice and speaking style in a speech synthesis system with intuitive and fine-grained controls is challenging, given that little data with appropriate labels is available.

The IMS Toucan System for the Blizzard Challenge 2023

1 code implementation26 Oct 2023 Florian Lux, Julia Koch, Sarina Meyer, Thomas Bott, Nadja Schauffler, Pavel Denisov, Antje Schweitzer, Ngoc Thang Vu

For our contribution to the Blizzard Challenge 2023, we improved on the system we submitted to the Blizzard Challenge 2021.

Modeling Speaker-Listener Interaction for Backchannel Prediction

no code implementations10 Apr 2023 Daniel Ortega, Sarina Meyer, Antje Schweitzer, Ngoc Thang Vu

We present our latest findings on backchannel modeling novelly motivated by the canonical use of the minimal responses Yeah and Uh-huh in English and their correspondent tokens in German, and the effect of encoding the speaker-listener interaction.

Anonymizing Speech with Generative Adversarial Networks to Preserve Speaker Privacy

1 code implementation13 Oct 2022 Sarina Meyer, Pascal Tilli, Pavel Denisov, Florian Lux, Julia Koch, Ngoc Thang Vu

In order to protect the privacy of speech data, speaker anonymization aims for hiding the identity of a speaker by changing the voice in speech recordings.

Generative Adversarial Network

Speaker Anonymization with Phonetic Intermediate Representations

1 code implementation11 Jul 2022 Sarina Meyer, Florian Lux, Pavel Denisov, Julia Koch, Pascal Tilli, Ngoc Thang Vu

In this work, we propose a speaker anonymization pipeline that leverages high quality automatic speech recognition and synthesis systems to generate speech conditioned on phonetic transcriptions and anonymized speaker embeddings.
